\nBrain Fog and Fatigue Top the List of Indicators Doctors and Researchers Need to Know

Philadelphia, PA, March 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beyond Celiac<\/a>, the leading catalyst for a celiac disease cure in the United States, announced today eye-opening data from its Go Beyond Celiac<\/a> Gluten Exposure Survey. The survey of 1,500 celiac disease patients highlights a number of neurological and psychological symptoms reported after exposure to gluten, adding to the call that patients experience more than just gastrointestinal (GI) troubles. Brain fog (86.0%) and fatigue (90.8%) are the two most commonly reported non-GI symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe patient voice is begging to be heard in celiac disease,\u201d said Kate Avery, MPH, Director of Research and Patient Engagement of Beyond Celiac. \u201cDespite there being over 300 symptoms of celiac disease, many doctors still only focus on GI manifestations such as abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea when diagnosing and treating a patient. It\u2019s often the same in research, with GI symptoms getting far more attention. New data is constantly showing that doctors and researchers should be paying attention to what their celiac disease patients are actually experiencing versus what they expect them to experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

A research database created by Beyond Celiac, Go Beyond Celiac collects patient-reported data about people\u2019s experiences before, during and after their diagnosis. In the Gluten Exposure Survey, Beyond Celiac aimed to learn what symptoms they actually experience after ingesting gluten. Over 60% of survey participants reported having the top three symptoms in each category.<\/p>\n

Top non-gastrointestinal symptoms reported with gluten exposure:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Tired\/having little energy (90.8%)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Brain fog\/difficulty concentrating (86%)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Headaches or migraines (71.4%)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Irritability\/fussiness (70.5)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Feeling anxious (66.1%)<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Difficulty\/pain when swallowing (19.1%)<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of what makes celiac disease so difficult to diagnose is that many people do not have any of the \u2018classic\u2019 GI symptoms. Instead, they experience indicators such as joint pain, anxiety or debilitating rashes, and many doctors are unaware or even questioning of the non-GI manifestations of this disease,\u201d adds Avery.<\/p>\n

Celiac disease is a serious genetic autoimmune disorder that affects an estimated 1 in 133 Americans, more than half of whom are still undiagnosed. The disease causes damage to the small intestine, resulting in debilitating symptoms, and if left untreated, can lead to serious long-term health problems including infertility and some types of cancer.<\/p>\n
