Hello everyone!

I've got lots on my mind and all the time in the world, but i still can't muster up the brainpower to put my thoughts into words on this damn computer, so i'll just try and keep it simple.

Anybody else here show signs of schizophrenia? Such a big scary word, isn't it? Gluten, dairy, and fruit (especially on an empty stomach) all seem to bring out the crazy in me. I'm suspecting that along with having celiac, i'm also lactose/casein intolerant, have fructose malabsorption issues, and an overgrowth of candida.

I'm thinking that going gluten and dairy free alone will not be enough to heal my gut. A new course of action must be taken, but what? Perhaps the GAPS diet? Or the SCD diet? I notice a lot of conflicting information everywhere i go on what is safe to eat or not eat. I'm not sure what to do, and i'm getting scared of eating at this point, as i fear i'm developing more food intolerances.

I'm not sure what i'm trying to say here, but maybe if someone can point me in a direction, i can stop spinning around in circles.

I can't really point you in a diet direction but ....

If you add a bit of jumping & skipping to the spinning, it can be a very good exercise. :P

Hey, bridge. I'm here chiefly because of my son who is dx'd with sz. I'd like to test my theory that he has a gluten intolerance which is causing his symptoms.

Actually, in all seriousness, Schizo has been linked to gluten issues. Here is one example.

Yes, gluten can cause neurological problems and schizophrenic-like symptoms.

All of the things you list in your post are good suggestions to try. There are many variations of the same diet...something like Paleo or SCD can help you sort out your reactions to other foods and fructose.

Also consider soy- it can cause some nasty symptoms. Don't be overwhelmed, you just have to figure out what food makes you feel your best.

That is perfect Cass! I think that should do the trick for educating Dr.'s about the gluten/schizophrenia connection. Thanks for the resource too!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
