Migraine sufferers should be tested for Celiac Disease

by Tracey Arial in Gluten Free Living1 Comments

Our findings suggest that migraine is a common neurologic manifestation in celiac, gluten-sensitive and inflammatory bowel diseases. Future interventional studies should screen migraine patients for celiac disease, particularly those with treatment-resistant headaches, as well as assess the long-term effect of a gluten-free diet.”

From a study published in Neurology called:

Increased Prevalence of Migraine in Patients with Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Compared to Controls: A Multicenter Prospective Study (P04.237)
