We evaluated the presence of IgA and IgG celiac disease-related antibodies in a sample of 217 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in a sample of 200 controls not affected by neurological disorders. None of the 217 patients with MS presented IgG and IgA anti-gliadin, anti-endomysial antibodies, anti-tissue transglutaminase and anti-reticulin, whereas only one of the selected controls presented specific antibodies; this subject resulted to be effectively affected by celiac disease. Our data did not show an increased frequency of celiac disease among patients with MS.

Abstract
We evaluated the presence of IgA and IgG celiac disease-related antibodies in a sample of 217 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in a sample of 200 controls not affected by neurological disorders. None of the 217 patients with MS presented IgG and IgA anti-gliadin, anti-endomysial antibodies, anti-tissue transglutaminase and anti-reticulin, whereas only one of the selected controls presented specific antibodies; this subject resulted to be effectively affected by celiac disease. Our data did not show an increased frequency of celiac disease among patients with MS.File in questo prodotto:
