This is because the tissue most affected by a gluten sensitivity is nerve tissue.The majority of Hashimoto’s [autoimmune hypothyroid] patients are gluten-sensitive or have celiac disease, which means gluten can play a role in their depression and anxiety.Gluten cross reacts with dairy, meaning the …
Tissue Transglutaminase Not As Sensitive for Coeliac Disease Diagnosis As Thought..
This study is about sensitivity verification really but it does raise the point that many people who test negative for transglutaminase may well still be coeliac, especially if they are not yet presenting [classic] symptoms.
