Abstract in brief

  • The study explores the possible link between Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) and Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) by analyzing the effects of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on 29 patients (23 children and 6 adults) over one year.
  • A significant reduction in tic severity and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms, as well as improvements in quality of life, were observed after participants followed the GFD.
  • The results suggest that a GFD may be beneficial for individuals with GTS, leading to decreased tics and OCD symptoms for both children and adults.
