Epilepsy, Seizures, And celiac disease

My daughter has seizures and someone had posted on one of these boards an address that took me to an article about seizures (epilepsy) and celiac disease. I had put it at the bottom of my computer but being rather computer STUPID (as you can probably tell from what I am writing), I deleted it. I really would like to find that message/article again as my daughter has been dealing with seizures for about 15 years. They are not like most seizures, very hard to locate in the brain, and are very difficult to keep under control and stop once they start. I have looked to no avail using the SEARCH. I have searched for both epilepsy and seizures and have not been able to find the article. PLEASE, if you can help me I would appreciate it. I am a celiac but my daughter is adopted so there is no genetic link.... We all know how one's life is turned upside down from difficult to diagnose diseases. It seems that the seizures control her life..... We know how that feels since Gluten controlled our lives until we understood what was happening to us. I would like to get the article to her so that she can read it and give it to her neurologist! THANKS!!!!!

Hi,

If you look about three threads down on this forum page "Research and Related Disorders", you will see a recent thread that I started "celiac and seizures" inside of it are several links to helpful sites and references (along with some very interesting and useful information). To go to any of the links, just click on them. They are great! And the personal stories are very encouraging. :) Hope this helps! -Julie

Thank you so much. This was the thread I was looking for. I can never find anything..... but THANK YOU so much. I will make sure that I print the information this time and give it to her.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Liamclarke · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac and basically had stunted growth because my body wasn’t taking In nutrients which may explain the weight loss I would take this seriously and get tested
