Still, it is something to watch out for.<\/p>\n If you have celiac disease, you will need to eliminate all gluten in any case, as the health effects of even small amounts of gluten can be serious (cancer for example). <\/p>\n Another symptom of celiac that is relevant here is cerebral calcifications, which can eventually lead to seizures.<\/p>\n The point is that people who experience epilepsy or other types of seizures should eliminate gluten from their diet and see if this improves their condition in any way.<\/p>\n However, when celiac disease is involved, seizure symptoms may not be reversed by eliminating gluten if these symptoms are allowed to continue without treatment for too long. <\/em> Treatment in this case means eliminating all gluten from the patients diet.<\/p>\n The most common source of gluten in the Western diet is wheat<\/a>, so a wheat-free diet takes care of most, but certainly not all of a gluten-free diet<\/a><\/p>\n Gluten Allergy information product<\/a><\/p>\n Internal Links<\/p>\n External Links<\/p>\n The link between gluten and epilepsy has long been known, but few people, including doctors, are aware that wheat can cause seizures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[11],"tags":[68,178,36,37,179,29],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3053,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228\/revisions\/3053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allergy-details.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
