Gluten Busters: Gluten-Free Product Alerts by Celiac.com

What an interesting article! It is so encouraging to see that celiac disease is starting to gain recognition, especially with regards to its varying symptoms. This article presents just one story among many of patients who have found a link between a gluten intolerance and a host of strange symptoms.

Hi Scott,

Looking forward to get your book the Cereal Killers. My 25 year old daughter was diagnosed with celiac just 6 weeks ago and has had uncontrolled seizures with being on numerous drugs since she was 10. She also has DH flares which she has had for a couple of years and it is amazing to me the dermatologists didn't pick it up or her one of many neurologists never said anything about celiac. Since being on the diet her seizures are considerably less and we put her on Dapsone her skin is improving. To say the least it has been a nightmare!!! Thanks for spreading the news and I will do the same! All of her Dr.'s will soon know about celiac from me and hopefully will have some of their other patients tested.

My wife is both gluten and milk intolerant. For years she would sometimes get migraine-like headaches in the frontal part of her head, which could last several days. From experience, not eating gluten stopped the headaches. She is now on a strict gluten free diet, although lesser so with milk.

She was recently diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia, with cognitive and memory loss. It is too big of a coincidence that her headaches were not related to the brain damage.

Yet, the internist and the neurologist that we recently have seen have no clue that there is a connection. "It is only an intestinal thing"

There could be multiple factors such as intolerance to casein.

We bought a multienzyme digestant which includes gluten, lactose, and casein enzymes, so that that if she inadvertently eats gluten or dairy when we dine out, it hopefully will be digested.

Unfortunately, the decline has slowed, but not stopped. We continue to look for nutritional ways to stop the decline, as well as consult with other doctors. There is no doubt in my mind that gluten is the culprit and that it is epidemic.
