In this study 90 EEGs were performed on 58 celiac children. Researchers concluded that abnormal brain waves resulted from the ingestion of gluten by celiac children. They also concluded that a gluten challenge should not be given before a child reaches the age of 6 years old, and the challenge should not last longer than 5 months. The researchers main concern seems to be the risk of permanent brain damage that they believe could be caused in a celiac child who eats gluten for a prolonged period of time.

Celiac disease, when gluten in the diet attacks the lining of the stomach, is four times more common than it was in the 1950s, according to new research, which also found a link between having undiagnosed celiac disease and a higher risk of death.

Add to that the insult of Borden / Elmer's glue connection. I think we are seeing an increase in diseases, illnesses, and disorders, that were rare in the past. Or only seen in the elderly.
