"自閉症和乳糜腹瀉之間沒找到關聯"

最近研究顯示乳糜腹瀉和自閉症沒有關聯。

常見的誤解是自閉症可能起自於腸子，但根據俄亥俄州哥倫布市全國兒童醫院的主任丹尼爾柯瑞醫師所說，這兩個疾病沒有任何關聯。許多人讓病患吃無麩質飲食來改善症狀，但根據最近的研究指出：「實驗並沒有真的顯示這有效，但眾人普遍相信此說法。」

這項研究於瑞典進行，瑞典的乳糜腹瀉患者比例為美國的兩倍，而研究顯示了兩種疾病之間並無關係。29萬人的健康記錄之中，從腸子的切片檢查看來，有2.7萬人有發展最完全的乳糜腹瀉。他們發現超過1.2萬人有發炎的跡象但沒有乳糜腹瀉，而另外有3700人驗血結果指出他們對麥蛋白有免疫反應但腸子方面沒有損傷。

根據明尼蘇達州羅徹斯特梅約診所的乳糜腹瀉專家喬瑟夫莫瑞醫生所說：「如果這兩個疾病間有關聯──不論是隱性的乳糜腹瀉造成自閉症，或是自閉症造成乳糜腹瀉，都應該會在此種規模的研究中顯示出來。」

(Health) No Connection Found Between Autism and Celiac Disease

Recent studies show there is no link between celiac disease and autism.

A common misconception is that autism may start in the gut, but according to Dr. Daniel Coury, chief of developmental-behavioral pediatrics at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, there is no link between the two diseases. Many people put patients on a gluten-free diet to improve the condition, but, according to recent research, Studies have not really shown that this works, but it is a common belief.

The study, undergone in Sweden where rates of celiac disease are double those in the US, showed no correlation between the two illnesses. Health records from 290,000 people, 27,000 of which had full-blown celiac disease, looked at intestinal biopsies. They found more than 12,000 had signs of inflammations without celiac disease and another 3,700 people had blood tests that indicated that they were having an immune reaction to wheat proteins but no intestinal damage.

According to Dr Joseph Murray, a celiac disease specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., If there was a connection between these two diseases V either hidden celiac disease causing autism or autism causing celiac disease, it should have shown up in the study of this size.
