Potential link between coeliac disease and cognitive decline
If you've marked more than five or six decades of birthdays, this is a two-word phrase that may give you a chill: cognitive decline.
New research from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine reveals how coeliac disease - a fairly common autoimmune disorder - may be at the root of some cases of cognitive impairment. Fortunately, coeliac disease can often be controlled with a change of diet.
In coeliac disease (CD), gluten (a component of grain) creates an obstruction to the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. Untreated, CD may prompt malnutrition, and, in chronic cases, other dangerous digestive ailments, including gastrointestinal cancer. Some cases of coeliac disease are also accompanied by cognitive problems - an observation that set the basis for the Mayo Clinic study.
