gluten/headache

The authors describe 10 patients with gluten sensitivity and abnormal MRI. All experienced episodic headache, six had unsteadiness, and four had gait ataxia. MRI abnormalities varied from confluent areas of high signal throughout the white matter to foci of high signal scattered in both hemispheres.

Coeliac disease (CD) is a gluten dependent enteropathy with genetic predisposition. The introduction of the gluten with the diet leads to a damage of the intestinal mucosa losing the ability of absorption. Together with the "classic forms", in wich the intestinal symptomatology is prevalent, there

Gluten intolerance is an autoimmune enteropathy caused by heterogeneous mixture of wheat storage proteins. Malabsorption symptoms imply diarrhoea, abdominal pain/bloating and weight loss. This case describes a 22-year-old female subject, who had chronic headache, joint pain, urticaria and long

BACKGROUND Headache is the commonest clinical symptom during childhood and adolescence, from a neurologist s point of view. The pathophysiology of migraine and tension headache involve personality and biochemical factors, such as serotonin, which are also common in coeliac disease. OBJECTIVE To

BACKGROUND Whereas many people with coeliac disease (CD) are asymptomatic when consuming a gluten-free diet (GFD), a proportion continues to experience symptoms. The reasons for this are unclear. METHODS Thirty-nine adult members of The Coeliac Society of New South Wales, all of whom had persistent

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical, serologic, and histologic characteristics of children with gluten sensitivity (GS). METHODS We studied 15 children (10 males and 5 females; mean age, 9.6 ± 3.9 years) with GS who were diagnosed based on a clear-cut relationship between wheat consumption and

Aims: Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is poorly understood, particularly in terms of its neurological outcomes. We initially conducted a prospective postal survey to investigate its neurological presentation and symptom course.

Celiac disease develops from an autoimmune response to specific dietary grains that contain gluten. Diagnosis can be made based on the classical presentation of diarrhea, fatty stools, and abdominal bloating and cramping, as well as the presence of specific serum antibodies. In addition, gluten

Celiac disease (CD) is one of the most important entity of the wide spectrum of gluten-related disorders (GRDs). It is well known that neurological manifestation can be present either at the onset of CD, or appear during the development of the pathology, and different can be the neurologic findings.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of acupuncture and a gluten-free diet (GFD) for urticaria and severe eczema in a patient with undiagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis and atypical or extraintestinal celiac disease. METHODS A 48-year-old woman presented with intense

OBJECTIVE To determine whether celiac children are at risk for EEG-neurological features and sleep disordered breathing (SDB), and whether an appropriate gluten-free diet (GFD) influences these disorders. METHODS We consecutively enrolled 19 children with a new biopsy-proven celiac disease (CD)
