Welcome to the forum, @JuggaloDad, Kudos to you for being such a concerned parent! Gluten can attach to opioid receptors throughout the human body, including the brain. Gluten in the brain can be attacked by tTg 6 antibodies. This inflammation can cause ataxia. TTg 6 antibodies are also found in diseases involving ataxia such as Alzheimer's and... -

Thank you Scott, it means a lot especially with the speed you responded..

Welcome to the forum, @JuggaloDad, Kudos to you for being such a concerned parent! Gluten can attach to opioid receptors throughout the human body, including the brain. Gluten in the brain can be attacked by tTg 6 antibodies. This inflammation can cause ataxia. TTg 6 antibodies are also found in diseases involving ataxia such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Serum Antibody tests for Celiac Disease check for tTg 2 antibodies. TTg 3 antibodies are found in Dermatitis Herpetiformis. THC can dislodge gluten from the opioid receptors in the brain and body, taking gluten's place on the opioid receptor. THC is then easier to remove from the opioid receptors than gluten. THC is being used medically in opioid addiction cessation. THC has other benefits such as calming mast cells so they don't release histamine. Histamine release from mast cells causes inflammation and is part of the autoimmune reaction in Celiac. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is instrumental in brain and nerve health. Opioid and THC use can deplete thiamine stores. Malabsorption due to Celiac Disease can prevent those stores being replenished. Early Thiamine deficiency disorder symptoms includes eating disorders such anorexia and bulimia. Ataxia is improved with Thiamine. Anxiety and depression are also improved with Thiamine. Thiamine helps stop mast cells from degranulating and releasing histamine. Gastroparesis and Gastrointestinal BeriBeri are improved with Thiamine. Thiamine with Pyridoxine and Cobalamine have analgesic properties. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine promotes gastrointestinal health. The form of Thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps immensely with the ataxia and neurological symptoms. Doctors undervalue the benefits of supplementation with essential nutrients in Celiac Disease. Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly in Celiac is important to health and recovery. Most blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are not accurate. None the less, discuss supplementing with doctors and nutritionists. Do look into a low histamine Paleo Diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet developed by a Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, shown to promote intestinal healing. This is the diet that really improved my health along with supplementing the essential vitamins and minerals. After struggling with Gastrointestinal BeriBeri, Ataxia and eating disorders myself, TTFD has made a world of difference. My blog has more information. I'm happy to share what I've learned on my journey. -
