The neurological symptoms related to celiac disease are frequently caused by the decreased nutrient absorption, which causes many deficiency syndromes that can be expressed since the beginning of the disease. The neurological symptoms tend to get worse as the disease advances.
Among the most common neurological symptoms associated with the disease are ataxia, moderate dementia, seizure disorder and the different neuropathies. Likewise, some psychiatric symptoms (like frequent mood or behavior changes) have also been associated.
