Perhaps even in the mental hospitals, it may be helpful to observe gluten free diets for those with bloated abdomens.<br/><br/>

In response to #2, I'm not a doctor, but from what I've read about Celiac disease, and a gluten free diet, it isn't wise to do it unless you are certain that it is celiac disease.  I suffer from depression, and I'm now getting tested for Celiac disease.  I think it may be a wise decision to get tested for celiac disease if you have depression and stomach problems that accompany it.  I've always felt that there was more to my stomach problems then what the doctors were thinking.  Trust your gut instinct when it comes to things like that.  You know your body better then anyone, including doctors.<br/><br/>

Self-diagnosed celiac via 3 years testing: gluten/no gluten.  BUT...just because a food/product is gluten free does not mean it is GOOD for your body. Other chemicals, gluten free, are NOT safe to consume. Cosmetics/hair color/soaps are sneaky gluten carriers.  I find it virtually impossible to live gluten free and happy! Forget looking your best, sharing dinners, having the energy for vacations. It is scary and sad and a very ALONE disease.<br/><br/>

Since then and until last October I had been on medications to control it.  I suddenly became allergic to the medications, then extraordinarily sick and was finally diagnosed (after a 6 month period of trial and error by the doctors) with celiac.  I had to come off of my medications, but after beginning a gluten free diet I didn't need them anymore.  Post diet I have had more energy and mental clarity than ever in my life and have not needed another drug to control my moods or help with depression.  The bipolar symptoms are simply gone.  Amazing.<br/><br/>
