Doctors are idiots in this country. The majority of them do not even realize that there are neurotoxic features to gluten intolerance. You have got to help yourself unfortunately. The only thing you can do is to do your best to be as gluten free as you possibly can. Do not take any chances on CC issues, many can but you can not. At least not now. Go with as much pure unprocessed food as you can and for right now you should consider dropping dairy (casien as well as lactose). After you have been neuro symptom free for a couple of months then challenge dairy and make sure it is not having a similar effect.

My DS is now showing strong bipolar symptoms, I have at times also. I was actually diagnosed with a rare seizure disorder, sub-illeal seizures, I spent years on a very toxic antiseizure drug that caused my hair to fall out and almost destroyed my liver. I have no seizures gluten-free, period. In doing research I found that a lot of brain disorders seem to be relieved by the gluten free diet. You may want to consider googling bipolar and celiac or gluten intolerance. You will be surprised by how much comes up, you will most likely not be surprised that most is not from the US.

One more very important thing to check is all your meds, every last one. OTC and script meds have NO labeling laws in effect. Generics are particularly dangerous. Do not trust that your doctor or pharmacist has checked. Do it yourself and do it by contacting the company that makes the drug as many gluten-free drug lists are not as accurate as we would like. Not their fault, binders change and any gluten-free list is only accurate the day it is made. This applys to food also. Oh and make really sure you have eliminated it from toiletries and personal products also.

Wish I could be of more help, both for you and for me. My sons situation is getting critical and I am helpless right now until he decides to help himself.

One more thing that I want to note. If your bipolar features are not relieved by making your diet very strict and eliminating casien also please do not hesitate to talk to your doctor about this. Give it a good shot but if you start becoming suicidal or violent you can not ignore it and hope it goes away. In my case it was extremely tied to my gluten consumption and once gluten free I would show symptoms for only 1 to 3 days after a glutening then it would lift. I chose not to medicate because the problem is so limited. It the problem is more long lasting with you or never really seems to lift you should consider talking to a doctor about getting more help. Once we form lesions in the brain they are not always resolveable by just the gluten-free diet.

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.

      Not all of King Arthur’s gluten free flours and baking mixes are certified gluten free. This bread flour is not.

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!
