EEG Research Findings in Children with Celiac Disease According to Dietary Variations - Germany
Paul V, Henkerr J, Todt H, Eysold R.
Z.Klin.Med., 1985; 40: 707-709.
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.
