Can Going Gluten-free Raise Your Iq?

[Alternative mama]

I'm looking for a link between gluten and IQ levels. I know that many non-celiac diets that go gluten-free boast better memory, concentration and focus but does anyone know of any specific studies that have #'s that would back this up?

Thanks!

Open Original Shared Link this is about malnourishment and iq which I guess would pertain to celiac disease since it stops absorption

Open Original Shared Link this is about autistic children

Open Original Shared Link this is about psych patients

most of what I can find says that the research isn't conclusive

Let me just say that if you have brain fog, a poor attention span etc. on gluten, any IQ tests would come out inaccurate. Take away the gluten, you can think properly and pay attention, I say it is an obvious conclusion that you would do much better on any kind of test, including an IQ test.

So, I don't really think that being gluten-free will REALLY raise your IQ, but rather that now it will be more obvious how smart somebody is. You can live up to your potential without gluten. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I think it is logical.
