Go to Google Scholar and type in "celiac depression" and you should have some hits. Click the Recent articles button at the top left and you'll get the more current ones.

Also google gluten and neurological that will bring up should bring up some good papers. If you search here for 'neurological manifestations' there was a link to a good paper also.

I'm going to be watching this carefully. My sister was admitted to the hospital in January, and ended up staying 2 1/2 weeks after having a nervous breakdown.

Karen, I hope that you get the articles you need to explain this to your family. I have tried with mine, but nothing was ever done about it.

She is now home, only taking her meds sporatically, and seeing a therapist every 3 weeks. It's not enough, and I'm very worried. Unfortuantely, there's nothing anyone can do, as she was deemed compatent.

I hope that your half sister is evaluated thoroughly while in the hospital--mine was sent home and told to see her medical doctor. (She has not, and probably won't) They knew she was anemic from a blood panel they took, but never followed up on it even after I gave my mom the information, including my gene test results.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts--I know how difficult this situation is.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
