Gluten-Free Diet Reduces Schizophrenia Symptoms in Some Patients

To All,

This is good research!

I had recently ran across the Kynurenine (KYN) pathway in my own research.

It is now been shown as the pathogenic cause of IBS.

And even earlier than that it was linked to Celiac disease Circa 2007.

this research confirms that AGA IgG in Schizophrenia patients are linked conditions in Celiac disease.

Maybe other's will run across this research and bee helped.

I am never surprised when I find earlier research has been done on a topic but always surprised nobody seems to know about it....yet it has been a couple plus years since the earlier link to AGA IgG and Schizophrenia  symptom's in Celiac's has been established as related.

This is not medical advice but I hope it is helpful.. .and it doesn't take another 10 + years (Circa 2007) for doctor's to recognize this connection... of the Kynurenine (KYN) pathway as a regulator of immune response in Celiac's.

Posterboy,

This would be without a doubt for those who struggle with this issue. I was medicated for 27 years on psychiatric medications and never knew I had an intolerance to both gluten and dairy. My life may not be as others for sure with how I walk and carry out things but I can surely say changing the diet could definitely present some opportunities for a change in the mental health realm. I was misdiagnosed for years and on multiple medications until my kidney's started shutting down. Labeled Bi-Polar, severe Depression, Anxiety attacks, etc. I needed to make a desperate change to save my own life so I made the transition of coming off the meds and changing my diet and now I am three years drug free. Much more to the story than I can share right now but gluten has played a very large part within my mental health. Gluten affects many people in different ways, for me I struggled with re-flux for years being placed on different medications for it only to still battle it; my esophagus started eroding. I couldn't sleep to save my life either; only to discover that after making the change and getting off of all gluten did I see the difference. If I come in contact with it now I get seriously sick and it can last for days. The effects of gluten can be harsh on the body in general for anyone, it's just some people are more susceptible to it and it can cause a vast array of issues like "Leaky gut" and other things that really isn't good beside issues with the brain. Something else to keep in mind there is a difference with an "intolerance" compared to an "allergy" that's worth looking into. I am convinced although, that if one continues eating it and they have an intolerance, what are the chances of them possibly developing an allergy??? Just some food for thought!
