Default Epilepsy and Celiac Disease - Nov 2006
Epilepsy and Celiac Disease: Favorable Outcome With a Gluten-Free Diet in a Patient Refractory to Antiepileptic Drugs.
PMID: 17122729 Nov 2006

Quote:
BACKGROUND:: There is a well-documented relationship between epilepsy and celiac disease, including a syndrome characterized by epilepsy, occipital calcifications, and celiac disease. REVIEW SUMMARY:: We report the case of a 23-year-old woman with an 11-year history of refractory epileptic seizures and newly diagnosed biopsy-proven celiac disease with increased antiendomysium immunoglobulin A antibodies. The patient showed a dramatic improvement after starting a gluten-free diet. CONCLUSION:: This case emphasizes the need to include celiac disease in the differential diagnosis when investigating the etiology of epilepsy in refractory patients.
PMID: 17122729

You can find more information about Celiac Disease in The Gluten File linked below my signature. Patients with a family history of autoimmune disease or gastrointestinal disease are at higher risk, although GI symptoms are not always present. Or stop by the Gluten Sensitivity/Celiac Disease forum if you have any questions .

I'm sorry that there isn't an abstract available on this, but the title may say it all.


Occult celiac disease presenting as epilepsy and MRI changes that responded to gluten-free diet.
PMID: 17296923 Feb 2007
