A range of neurological and neuropsychological features have been associated with celiac disease, including headaches, ataxia (coordination problems), peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling or pain from nerve damage), cognitive challenges and “brain fog,” to name a few.
BIDMC neurologist Samuel Frank, MD, and Benny Kerzner, MD, medical director of the Celiac Disease Program at Children’s National Hospital, will discuss the connection between our nervous system and celiac disease in pediatric and adult patients, as well as non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
