i was discussing with a friend about the neurological effects of celiac.

she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and she thinks it could be linked to her celiac disease, since i’m a psychology student she wanted to know if it was true.

i told her i don’t think there’s any link between the two, celiac is genetically determined (or at least partially) while bpd is not and it usually comes from childhood trauma, but i then realised i know a lot people who have both conditions, actually most people with celiac i know have bpd as well and so do i. i’ve tried to google it but i found nothing.

does anyone believe there is a link between these conditions?

I haven't heard that that there is a statistical correlation between BPD and celiac disease specifically but it is well-established that there is a connection between celiac disease and some other mental health disorders such as depression and, I think, anxiety disorder. These would fit under the general heading, perhaps, of neurological disorders tied to celiac disease (and also NCGS).

I would be skeptical to conclude that there is no genetic component to BPD. Celiac disease itself involves both a genetic component and a triggering stress component. Many people have the genes but most of them don't develop celiac disease because the stress trigger never happens. Think about it. Why would two people exposed to the same childhood trauma respond differently. One would develop BPD and the other would not. There has to be something hardwired there that is different between the two.

Yes, I believe that Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of nutrients which results in alterations in brain function.  I know because I've been there.  Read my blog for my story and more research links (click on my name).

Doctors cannot separate physical health from mental health.  Brain health (mental health) is dependent on physical health.  

If a person is not getting the proper fuel for their brain to function properly, they are going to have Brain health problems.

I'm happy to discuss this further if you have more questions. 🐱

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By trents · Posted

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.

      Nightmares

      By Femke · Posted

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!
