Celiac Mothers Associated With Austistic Offspring?


Candy

Recommended Posts

Candy Contributor

Many media reports say that Autism and A child's mother with certain Autoimmune Diseases go hand in

hand.

Have researchers for www.Celiac.com proven this? I mean I don't actually see a list of tested and proven statistics here.

But Media reports say Celiac Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis,and Diabetes Type 1 ,but not other Autoimmune Diseases, contribute to a child having Austism Spectrum Disorder.

IS THIS TRUE? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON THIS?

I'LL POST THE WEBSITE(S) WITH THIS INFORMATION IF I CAN FIND IT AGAIN.

Autism is just one of many disorders which have been associated with Celiac.

Here's a link to some articles which may help:

I don't think this website has researchers - it's not a medical research institution. :)

But, scientists in Denmark DID just release a study on this:

Open Original Shared Link

OBJECTIVES: Recent studies suggest that familial autoimmunity plays a part in the pathogenesis of ASDs. In this study we investigated the association between family history of autoimmune diseases (ADs) and ASDs/infantile autism. We perform confirmatory analyses based on results from previous studies, as well as various explorative analyses.

METHODS: The study cohort consisted of all of the children born in Denmark from 1993 through 2004 (689 196 children). Outcome data consisted of both inpatient and outpatient diagnoses reported to the Danish National Psychiatric Registry. Information on ADs in parents and siblings of the cohort members was obtained from the Danish National Hospital Register. The incidence rate ratio of autism was estimated by using log-linear Poisson regression.

RESULTS: A total of 3325 children were diagnosed with ASDs, of which 1089 had an infantile autism diagnosis. Increased risk of ASDs was observed for children with a maternal history of rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. Also, increased risk of infantile autism was observed for children with a family history of type 1 diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS: Associations regarding family history of type 1 diabetes and infantile autism and maternal history of rheumatoid arthritis and ASDs were confirmed from previous studies. A significant association between maternal history of celiac disease and ASDs was observed for the first time. The observed associations between familial autoimmunity and ASDs/infantile autism are probably attributable to a combination of a common genetic background and a possible prenatal antibody exposure or alteration in fetal environment during pregnancy.

      I understand the weight loss, as I’ve had Celiac for 5 years, and frequent flares. I’ve been researching supplements for those who aren’t absorbing, anyone have suggestions?

      Hi Trents  Many thanks for the response. My average intake ranges from 3000 - 4000 calories per day. In regards to carbohydrates, the majority of my calories are coming from white rice. I eat around 2000+ calories of white rice per day, so definitely not low in carbohydrates. I was thinking of adding sweet potatoes to the diet. Yes, fats are low, looking into it. I've seen people complain about the same issue in 3-4 threads, but there hasn't been any solution. I was thinking of eating the same diet as stated above and each day, eat small pieces of toast to see, by how many hours my sleep improves.  What makes you think gluten widrawal would subside? Is this insomnia happening...

      Welcome to the forum, @SaiP! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or are you self-diagnosed? What is your average calorie intake per day? Your diet seems to be low in carbohydrates. The only carbohydrate rich food in your list is the white rice. A snack high in simple carbohydrates before retiring for bed at night may help with sleep. Can you do potatoes? Also, tryptophan is reported to help with sleep. Turkey meat is a rich source of tryptophan.  Also, your diet would seem to be low in fats and oils. Apart from the avocado, there is not much in your diet to supply this vital category of nutrient.  Your theory about the connection between gluten withdrawal and insomnia seems...

      @sillyyak52 Welcome to the forum! I'm just about to go away for a couple of days but read this and just had to reply.  I am so sorry for what you are going through... it is really tough. Perhaps finding a short video online which explains the seriousness of celiac disease might help.  Just sit your family down and say, "Please just watch this one video with me."    There is one, here for example, on Coeliac UK, which I think is convincing - What is Coeliac Disease? https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/resources/videos-for-newly-diagnosed-patients/?&&type=r&set=true#cookie-widget I was watching a TV comedy programme we have in the UK over Christmas...
