Your Gut and Brain are Married

If you have seen your neurologist recently, you may need to be screened for celiac disease.

I wanted to share a recent journal article from the Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology that talks about neurological disorders in adults with celiac disease.

If you have gluten intolerance, your only symptoms may be nerve pain! Or it may be dementia, ataxia or other symptoms you are likely to see your neurologist for. Let's put this in perspective folks; this is a GUT journal talking about how your GUT affects your BRAIN.

The brain and the gut are married together. Convinced of this fact, these authors recommend screening for celiac disease in patients with neurological symptoms.
