Brain And Neurological Problems Affect Almost Half Of Celiacs Even With A Gluten Free Diet

Thus, "Tourette Syndrome" entered the canon of medical afflictions. However, the search for the cause of the affliction proved elusive, as all sorts of fanciful theories were put forward ranging from: hereditary organic causes to repressed sexual desires of the Freudian variety; to obsessive mothers and poor parenting skills. Until the mid-sixties of the Twentieth Century, no real consensus emerged beyond that Freudian psychoanalysis was the preferred path of medical intervention.

Prescribing tranquillizers to patients suffering from acute anxiety is beneficial to the extent that the drugs repress the brain's ability to receive neurotransmitters and thus mitigate the symptoms of the underling mental affliction. They do not, however, address the root cause of the condition and can never constitute a cure.

Although the actual causes of Autism Spectrum Disorders haven't yet been clarified, many severe, malign effects of neurological disorders can be kept under control and if they are discovered in time.

Attention Deficit Disorder usually begins early in childhood when a child first begins to develop their verbal speech and language skills. Experts in this field have a very strong theory that the ADD/ADHD child is for some reason being delayed in their development of self-control and self-regulation, and they will get extremely frustrated with their inability to adequately communicate. To be more concise, the ADD/ADHD child is unable to stop and think before responding to a situational demand or requirement. Some studies indicate that the ADD/ADHD child is about 30% or more behind their peers in their ability to self-manage, self-control, organize, and plan for the future. One of the problems with this is that parents need to realize that this 30% is not made up for in total as the child continues to develop unless treatment and accommodations for the ailment can be provided.

Disruptive Behavior is where a child will not settle down and becomes troublesome or disorderly. Especially in a school setting this can become a problem where the disruptive student doesn't allow the other students to learn. In some cases kids can be disruptive intentionally, to show off, be funny or look cool. However children that have disruptive behaviors usually feel frustrated and are rebelling against authority to bring attention upon them. These types of kids have not developed adequate self-control, which causes them to act out and ultimately cause distractions for other classmates.

Some people find that eliminating both gluten and casein from their diet is fairly difficult.

If you have neurological problems get testing for Celiac disease before starting a gluten-free diet. If you test negative for CD, make sure they test you for the complete HLA DQ genetics that includes the high-risk white blood cell patterns DQ2 and DQ8 for Celiac disease AND get blood tests that include IgG and IgA gliadin antibodies. If your blood tests, including gliadin IgA and IgG antibodies, are negative or normal then consider stool testing for gliadin antibodies in the stool ($99, http://www.enterolab.com).
