There have been a number of reports of a possible
link between coeliac disease and diseases associated
with psychological disturbances such as ADHD.
In a recent study researchers attempted to
establish whether a gluten free diet could
allevaite behavioural symptoms in patients with
both coeliac disease and ADHD. 67 subjects with
ADHD were enrolled in the study of whom a
significant number were found to also have coeliac disease. After switching to a
gluten free diet the patients with both problems, or their parents reported a
significant improvement in their behaviour and functioning.
