The progression of coeliac disease: its neurological and psychiatric implications.
Campagna G, Pesce M, Tatangelo R, Rizzuto A, La Fratta I, Grilli A.
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to show the various neurological and psychiatric symptoms in coeliac disease (CD).
CD is a T cell-mediated, tissue-specific autoimmune disease which affects genetically susceptible individuals after dietary exposure to proline- and glutamine-rich proteins contained in certain cereal grains.
Genetics, environmental factors and different immune systems, together with the presence of auto-antigens,
are taken into account when identifying the pathogenesis of CD.
CD pathogenesis is related to immune dysregulation, which involves the gastrointestinal system, and the extra-intestinal systems such as the nervous system, whose neurological symptoms are evidenced in CD patients.
A gluten-free diet (GFD) could avoid cerebellar ataxia, epilepsy, neuropathies, migraine and mild cognitive impairment. Furthermore, untreated CD patients have more symptoms and psychiatric co-morbidities than those treated with a GFD.
Common psychiatric symptoms in untreated CD adult patients include depression, apathy, anxiety, and irritability and schizophrenia is also common in untreated CD.
Several studies show improvement in psychiatric symptoms after the start of a GFD.
The present review discusses the state of the art regarding neurological and psychiatric complications in CD
and highlights the evidence supporting a role for GFD in reducing neurological and psychiatric complications.
