Can Gluten Cause Seizures?

I saw on discovery health Chanel that a young boy had seizures and after he was put on a gluten free diet he had no more episodes. My Grandson has seizures and after many tests and doctors they are unable to pinpoint the reason. Celiac disease has never been discussed in the past but the above referenced boy was finally diagnosed with this disease. Is there a possibility seizures can be associated with this disease?

    Gluten is a kind of protein that is formed from Gliadin and Glutenin. It is found in wheat, barley and rye etc. Seizures or Epilepsy can be caused by wheat Gluten. This is called Celiac disease. People who are sensitive to Gluten often suffer from this disease. So there is a possibility that you grandson is suffering from Celiac disease. You can test it by providing him with Gluten free diet.
