    Celiac.com 07/21/2016 - Celiac disease is a condition that can sometimes have vague symptoms, including mental and neurological symptoms, and that can make it hard to diagnose. Sometimes, individual cases can help to shed light on the serious nature of celiac disease, as well as the importance of a gluten-free diet in treatment. Consider the case of a 37-year-old Ph.D. candidate began to suffer from mysterious delusions, details of which appear in The New England Journal of Medicine.
    The doctors who treated her wrote that the woman, who was otherwise healthy and seemingly normal, had begun to believe that friends, family members and even strangers were conspiring to act out scenes for her in a what the woman thought was some kind of "game."
    The delusions got so bad that the woman...

    Do People with Celiac Disease Take More Psychotropic Drugs Than Other Gastrointestinal Patients?
    Celiac.com 04/10/2018 - Celiac disease is a multi-system disorder with manifestations that may result in psychiatric disorders. Does that mean that celiac disease patients are more likely to take psychotropic drugs than other gastrointestinal patients? A team of researchers recently set out to assess the prevalence of medication use to treat psychiatric disorders in celiac disease patients compared to other gastrointestinal patients.
    The research team included Haley M. Zylberberg, Jonas F. Ludvigsson, Peter H. R. Green, and Benjamin Lebwohl. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases, Department of Medicine, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, USA; the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska...

    Gluten-Free Diet Reduces Schizophrenia Symptoms in Some Patients
    04/22/2019 - A gluten-free diet can improve symptoms of schizophrenia in certain patients, new research suggests. In the small pilot study, Deanna L. Kelly, PharmD, professor of psychiatry, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, and colleagues studied the effects a gluten-free diet in schizophrenia, especially in patients with elevated gluten antibodies.
    Kelly and her team set out to determine whether a gluten-free diet would improve psychiatric symptoms in this subgroup of patients with elevated AGA IgG.
    They found that schizophrenia patients with elevated gluten antibodies, specifically, elevated antigliadin antibodies (AGA IgG), who followed a gluten-free-diet for 5 weeks saw a greater reduction in negative symptoms compared counterparts on a non-gluten-free...

    Woman's Gluten-Induced Psychosis Sparks Murderous Rage Against Parents
    Celiac.com 01/19/2021 - Typically, when people with celiac disease eat gluten, they experience gastrointestinal discomfort, or even symptoms like a skin rash, anemia, and headaches. In some extreme cases, though, the side effects could be much, much worse. But, in rare cases, celiac disease can manifest with psychiatric symptoms and behavioral disturbances. Interestingly, celiac disease in children often manifests mainly as behavioral disturbance, such as increased aggression or anxiety, with milder or absent gastrointestinal symptoms. That was the case with a 37-year-old, successful PhD student, from Massachusetts.

      Immediate Reaction

      HI, yes I get this reaction if I eat gluten by mistake or if I eat high fodmap foods as well. I become nauseous, vomit then it hits the muscles, my legs sometimes give out. It takes a while to feel "normal" again.

      IGA and TTG IGA Levels

      The first step would be to re-examine your diet to see if hidden gluten is the cause. Eating out would be the number one source of contamination, even if restaurants offer gluten-free menus and options.

      Strictness with products

      You may want to see al allergist and run a standard food allergy panel to see if wheat allergy could contribute to this, but again, the most likely culprit if you have celiac disease would be gluten contamination.
