Please go to Healthcare, if you have questions about how the health reform law will affect you and your insurance options. You can also contact your state’s Consumer Assistance Program, Exchange, or Medicaid office with questions about eligibility and enrollment. Very interesting and informative blog post I must say! Another question isSo the question is this. I’m quite sure I was wondering if you knew I was referred to a local psychology practice and after that maybe a psychiatrist? Therefore this pic is extremely important to me after recently being diagnosed with coeliac disease and I believe I know it’s somewhat relevant to quite a lot of people in my family that have the coeliac genes but don’t need to acknowledge they have a serious problem. Now that I am completely gluten free, my mind is mostly clear and I may have healed my leaky gut other revelations are falling into place, that leads me to your blog.
Just most of the problems I believe I dealt with were ADHD, Actually I have had a hoarding disorder the entire time and some OCD, I actually have also had periods of mild to severe depression especially in the last 15 years and I know there had been other problems as well, since being diagnosed coeliac I have researched the far reaching effects of gluten problems and xicity and now believe through the coarse of my life I have endured varied and extensive bouts of mental illness.
At the moment these conditions are self diagnosed since I am the one who had to live through them, Actually I have recently sought as it all got intending to have a nervous breakdown.
I hope I haven’t rambled on best of luck with your work it’s vital research, loads of regards Paul. Being a typical male in hindsight I probably bottled up plenty of the symptoms and tried to push through most days when I knew something wasn’t right with my health I should of went to the doctors more often and pushed for since it was a very difficult period of my life.
I am almost 49 age years all that time I have suffered in silence and when I did go to doctors and gastroenterologists I was either misdiagnosed or my symptoms were passed off as something else or something minor.
I would love a copy of your essay please Monique.
Extensive inflammation throughout my body resulting in constant muscle and joint pain, fatigue and at times severe fatigue or even chronic fatigue, despite the fact that I have recently been diagnosed I now know that I’m gluten intolerant my entire life and most possibly coeliac for ten years or more causing a vast selection of severe gastric problems. Eventually, I can’t convince my kids to stop eating gluten as long as that’s all they offer at school, friends’ houses, etcetera They think I’m crazy. Needless to say, I’ve gone gluten free and it helps a lot. I wish my family would join me. I feed him gluten free indoors but he feeds himself gluten when he’s not with me. The majority of mental illness in my family. Please email me your essay. My son is adhd.
I suffer from anxiety and depression and I know it’s my diet.
He can’t imagine giving up bread, pizza and pasta.
Thank you for this article. I will email you the essay and you can have a read of the references for yourself. With all that said… Dr McBride is a neurologist so I am sure she can tell you about the neurobiology and neurochemistry that she talks about. Of course, it actually consists of 2 different proteins -glutelin and gliadin and is the substance that gives dough its elastic texture. Now pay attention please. Gluten is a protein composite found in grains similar to wheat, rye, barley and spelt. Interesting that is why baking with gluten free flours is so tricky! I have two daughters who have aspergers and identical mental health problems and I was on antidepressants for many years.
I would love to read your paper.
I came across your blog and feel its an omen.
By an odd chance I met an elderly lady who used to be a dietitian in a hospital and after sharing a cup of tea and exchanging our life stories, she advised me to try gluten/wheat free diet. I’ve been symptom free fro the last 3 months, the first time this has happened in 30 years. Just think for a moment. I have suffered from schizophrenia and depression for 30 years, and 3 months ago started a gluten and dairy free diet. It makes this difference that someone realises the serious problem with gluten and that it extends much further than ‘tummy problems as many people dismissively think!
Hi, could you email me a copy of your work, I’d be very grateful and look for to say thanks for doing the research.
Neurological and psychiatric problems may be the prime presentations for people with gluten sensitivity and as this problems is largely unknown or unrecognised by the general medical profession, it can easily go untreated.
Gluten sensitivity is a poser that has only been recognised quite recently. Individuals who are sensitive to gluten do not show very similar gastrointestinal symptoms as people with coeliac disease and as a matter of fact, may not have any gastrointestinal problems whatsoever. As doctors are trained to see symptoms and prescribe something to ‘fix’ them, virtually they rarely look for the underlying cause or assume that these disorders are all genetic or biological in nature. What really is the take home message in all of this research? For many people medication is absolutely necessary though so please don’t think that I am anti all medication. Of course while leading to worsening of symptoms and often more medications, medications prescribed often lead to worse gut health and many contain dairy or gluten. I’m sure that the role of diet in the development of mental health disorders is overlooked in the general medical models and as doctors receive no training in nutrition they will rarely consider a poser similar to food allergies or gluten sensitivity when looking to treat a patient.
Similar findings was shown in autism where families who move from countries where the diets are low in grains and milk to countries where the consumption of grains and milk are high, have an increased rate of autistic syndromes.
What have you got to lose?
There’s noone size fits all approach -see what works for you as an individual. Therefore in case things are not working for you at the moment consequently try some small changes and observe the effects. Basically the video link was interesting information and I’m intending to try again. It’s a well I’ve had many autoimmune conditions and always believed the condition of our gut health has to be influential in our general well being. Can I please have a copy of your essay? I’m interested in reading the information I have been interested in healthy eating lots of my life, and although I’ve tried to be 100, probably being that tests showed that I wasn’t coeliac, I’m pretty sure I lapse. It’s a well you are very generous sharing your work.
When I was at my gym and on the treadmill, interestingly a woman in here 40’s stepped on the treadmill beside me and we began to talk.
She had been a special ed teacher for a few decades but has had to leave the profession as she was attacked by one of her students, disabled after neck surgery, and is now unable to perform her duties anymore.
She could sue the student’s mom but realizes the family does not need another issue associated with their daughter’s mental health. Now has to reestablish herself in her new profession, she is using the money for the new training obtained from her disability case. Basically, it seems the 12 year old student’s mom had read about gluten free diets and mental health and had started to adjust her daughter’s diet but also ok her off all her medications….The woman next to me on the treadmill that day said she now has to retrain has a physical therapist for hands.
Please how about to share this post with anyone that might find it useful.
Lets spread the word that So there’s a link between diet and mental health.
I am unable to email out the essay but I have added the full reference list from the essay at the bottom of this post so you can read the research for yourself. I was making an attempt to is on a wheat and casein free diet for a couple of years to had been extremely helpful.
She is on a very low dose of risperdol but says now it’s not working as well. Recently she has encountered alot more people and professors who think that it is not really helpful and uses this to justiffy cheating alot more on her diet. I love your blog. Thanks a lot for sharing your research and recipes. I’ve been playing with the paleo way of eating for a little while so very interested to read about the connection between gut health and gluten. Normally, my sone suffers from bipolar, I’m pretty sure I would love to read your essay. It’s awrite. After 12 different most of antibiotics last year I went and saw a naturopath. I can now eat small amounts of gluten but if I eat been sick with infections all my life. Certainly, my hematologist said there was nothing I could do but take that is what led me to do a search. With that said, I’m hoping going gluten free, or possibly paleo would help, as he’s aged (he’s the OCD has become more prevalent, his schitzophrenia is tally controlled by his meds and he’s very vigilant about taking them. Essentially, I will very much like a copy of your essay.
Monique, I stumbled on to your blog while looking for I read Wheat Belly and been doing ns of research as I also have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, low stomach acid, poor adrenals, and similar I suffer with depression, anxiety, and overall feelings of hopelessness…I just went gluten/grain/wheat/dairy/soy free 3 days ago and hope so it is the missing link as to why I feel bad, right after the recommendation of my new doctor.
