This is "The Big List" of symptoms caused by gluten and other foods

Textbooks about celiac disease give very long lists of symptoms.  This has puzzled many gastroenterologists.  They see celiac disease as primarily a gut disease.  Thus, poor nutrition and malabsorption have been the excuses used to explain many of the odd non-gut symptoms.

However, it is becoming clear that gluten can cause neurological harm.  This is the most likely explanation for all of these symptoms experienced in celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
