TLDR
The results suggest that depressive psychopathology is a feature of adult coeliac disease and may be a consequence of malabsorption.Abstract:
Psychiatric illness has been observed to be a main cause of disability in undiagnosed adult coeliac disease. A consecutive series of 16 patients with newly detected adult coeliac disease underwent assessment of personality by means of the MMPI. The coeliacs scored high, 70.3 +/- 12.5, only on MMPI scale 2 ('depression'), which was the only significant difference from matched surgical controls. The score correlated 0.66 with daily fat excretion (p less than 0.05) but was unrelated to abdominal complaints. The general intellectual level, assessed by the SRB test, was similar in coeliacs and controls. Our results suggest that depressive psychopathology is a feature of adult coeliac disease and may be a consequence of malabsorption.read more

Neurologic presentation of celiac disease.
TL;DR: It has been suggested that gluten sensitivity (as evidenced by high antigliadin antibodies) is a common cause of neurologic syndromes (notably cerebellar ataxia) of otherwise unknown cause and further studies clearly are needed to assess the efficacy of gluten-free diet and to address the underlying mechanisms of nervous system pathology in gluten sensitivity.
