Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Celiac disease causes malnutrition as the micronutrients are not absorbed like vitamins and minerals leads to dementia. Dementia is specifically due vit. B deficiency. As oral administration is not of any use,to correct the deficiency parenteral drug therapy is used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
