Can't find a date on this but from what I have read in other places as well there is a growing consensus that there is a connection between celiac disease and depression. There is a lot of info about this out there so I would suggest researching your question. https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/related-conditions/depression/

The connection may be two-fold. First, there is the issue with malabsorption of vitamins and minerals typically found in people with celiac disease that often leads to neurological problems. Second, there is the psych/social impact related to loss of freedom in eating out or eating in the homes of other people. Celiac Disease can be isolating.

      I was undiagnosed for quite a few years. I now have neuropathy in my hands and feet. Be watchful of something like this and definitely see a neurologist if having symptoms like numbness in your extremities.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hello, @jadeceoliacuk, Has your son been tested for nutritional deficiencies?  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of essential nutrients which can result in nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.   I would find a nutritionist more knowledgeable about Celiac and ASD, before taking herbal supplements that don't contain essential vitamins. Interesting Reading: Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/   Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Mitochondria, and Nutrient Deficiencies https://hormonesmatter.com/autistic-spectrum-disorder-asd-mitochondria-nutrients/   Relationship between Vitamin Deficiencies and Co-Occurring Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7279218/ Keep us posted on your progress!
