Default Celiac Disease and Seizures- Mystery Diagnosis on youtube
Here are some youtube excerpts of a Mystery Diagnosis show on a little boy with neurological manifestations of celiac disease [autoimmune disease caused by dietary gluten... wheat, barley, rye] He had complex partial seizures, as well as speech and developmental delays. He had no gastrointestinal problems. His seizures resolved almost immediately on a gluten free diet. Unfortunately it took four years to be diagnosed... and his MOTHER has celiac disease!

Please remember... you can have gluten sensitivity that cause seizures without testing positive for celiac disease, and for some children, casein and soy sensitivities are also a problem. If there is any family history of autoimmune disease... all the more reason to consider this possibility!
