Introduction Celiac disease (CD), triggered by gluten ingestion, occurs in people genetically predisposed to develop this chronic autoimmune condition. The triggering environmental factor, gluten, is known as a protein present wheat, rye and barley. In recent decades, specialists have found more knowledge about the mechanisms, how it develops other disturbances which accompany it. CD was consid...

Introduction: Gluten is a protein found in grains.  Research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals.  While gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. Is it healthful?  The protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful.  An estimated 95% of prepared fo...

pearance of sensory potentials (see the table). No change in clinical and neurophysiologic studies was noted 1 year later (week 48). Discussion. We show for the first time a marked improvement of clinical and neurophysiologic deficits in neuronopathy associated with primary SS. In our patient, the sensory potential reappeared but remained low at 48 weeks. However, the sensory examination was no...

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease characterized by permanent gastrointestinal tract sensitivity to gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. It has varied clinical manifestations, ranging from gastrointestinal to extraintestinal, including neurological, skin, reproductive and psychiatric symptoms, which makes its diagnosis difficult and challenging. Known neurological manif...

Celiac disease (celiac sprue) is a malabsorptive syndrome that results from gluten dependent inflammation of the small bowel. Although the disease is typically characterized by diarrhea, flatulence and weight loss, more subtle symptoms such as non-specific bloating and malaise can be characteristic. Subgroups of patients can present with iron deficiency alone. A variety of pathological entities...

Celiac sprue is a gluten sensitive enteropathy in which there is a small bowel villous atrophy associated with gastrointestinal and extraintestinal symptoms. True prevalence is difficult to ascertain because many patients have atypical symptoms or none at all. Few children display CNS symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy and cerebellar ataxia. So far, stroke in posterior circulation territory...

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder triggered by ingestion of wheat gliadin and related proteins in genetically susceptible individuals. In addition to the characteristic enteropathy, celiac disease is associated with various extraintestinal manifestations, including neurologic complications such as neuropathy, ataxia, seizures, and neurobehavioral changes. The cause of the neurologic...

Celiac disease (CD) is a multifactorial enteropathy induced by the ingestion of gluten in susceptible individuals. It’s widely accepted that CD is an immune-mediated enteropathy and clinical manifestations range from typical signs or symptoms of intestinal malabsorption to atypical cases with scarce gastro-intestinal symptoms and extra-intestinal manifestations. Several neurological syndromes h...
