    Gluten can cause anxiety and other types of mental problems. I don't know if the problem is the medication or gluten. If you decide to go gluten free it is a good idea read up about cross contamination. Oats and other processed foods often cause problems for some people with celiac disease. Lots of people with celiac disease have vitamin b deficiency. Eating...

    I was explaining that some people have other trouble that is immune related and caused by eating gluten, but doesn't effect the gut in a noticeable way. According to the paper that I quoted there are some people which have different types of brain problems but don't have inflammation when tested by a biopsy. The author used the term "non-Celiac gluten sensitivity...

    Celiac disease can present with other symptoms (such as brain damage, skin problems, anxiety etc) without causing any obvious digestive problems. I'm guessing this means that the biopsy would be negative also.

    Is gluten ataxia a form of gluten intolerance, but not of celiac disease? Can this web site be used for gluten ataxia, as well as celiac disease? Should I see the stupid doctors some more, or keep going off of gluten? (I've been gluten-free since Easter. I'm going through painful withdrawal at present.) Should I get a medical bracelet...

    The Newbie 101 thread has some very useful information. Some people have more severe symptoms than other people (including gluten ataxia or mental problems due to gluten), or may want to be more cautious about eating any gluten. The following information might be helpful if added to the thread, to help people who are newly diagnosed with Celiac disease and...

    I am not sure if this will answer your question but... The antibodies to gluten can stay in the body for 4 months or longer. Also according to a paper I read some people have elevated anxiety right after going gluten free but that by one year the symptoms are reduced. I recommend googling the "Gluten contamination elimination diet." I had a sudden...

    The body can respond to gluten, without it effecting the gut in any way. A lot of people have for example skin conditions without any digestive problems. One person that I read on this forum, had symptoms of gluten ataxia which where only temporary and occurred immediately after eating something with gluten. I don't know if recovery is possible, but...

    I would recommend both quitting all gluten and probably going to the ER, or talking to your doctor. Gluten is known to cause some very major brain disorders. I have heard that the cells that line the gut are similar to the cells that protect the brain. Celiac disease is an auto immune disorder where anti bodies are created in response to gluten. As long...

    New planet taste really good. There are also a few other types of gluten free beers that I like. I never knew that Coors made a gluten free beer either. I'll have to ask around to see if I can find it here. I changed my mind about oats. I read that some oat brands were tested and had over 2000 ppm gluten due to contamination which is quite a bit. I might...

    Thanks. Yeah I noticed the original post was old but there are some new ones. I know with omission beer some people have a strong reaction. Other people seem to tolerate it without any noticeable problems. I react strongly to gluten but can drink gluten removed beer without any problems. It took me a while to get comfortable with the idea but I am fine...

    I have heard that the fermentation process breaks down the gluten in some types of beer. Some common beers test out at less that 5 parts per million. I only drink gluten removed beers right now but I am considering trying a few others. You can google the gluten content of different beers. I am not sure how safe or unsafe these beers are for people with Celiac...

    I totally believe what you said. I didn't have gluten ataxia but I used to have a lot whole lot of trouble thinking. When I went gluten free most of my symptoms went away but I feel I still have a few. I would recommend bringing some information with you if you go to the doctor. I don't think it is very common for people to have mental issues as a result...

    If the body is exposed to something that it is allergic too, the body becomes flooded with antibodies. With time the number of antibodies will decrease if the particular food is avoided. For this reason someone with Celiac disease could in theory at least get a different level of reaction at different times. Celiac disease does not go away though.

    There are other types of food allergies and sensitivities that can effect the brain besides gluten. One idea is to limit your diet to a few very basic foods for a few days and see if anything changes. Wheat, corn, soy, eggs, dairy are some common problem foods for some people.

    An Omega-3 fatty acid (fish oil) deficiency can cause poor circulation in the hands. I used to have trouble with that. I found the circulation in my hands improved greatly when I went gluten free.

    I get strong anxiety within about five minutes which gets worse after that. The first 24 hours are the worst, but I feel effects for about a week after a large exposure.

    I used to have many mental health issues including strong anxiety and obsessive thoughts, anger issues, depression, and autistic symptoms etc. before I went gluten free. Now I feel great.

    I suspect that milk also effects how I think and that I get brain fog from it. My reaction to milk is very mild compared to gluten and slow to take effect. When I accidentally eat gluten within a few minutes I have a strong sense of impeding doom, even though I know it's just an effect of the gluten. I also avoid people for the most part and become very irritable...

    Hello, I learned just about a year ago that I have celiac disease. Whenever I eat gluten I get strong anxiety. About 95 percent of my symptoms went away when I quit, but I still have a few. I had most of the symptoms of high functioning autism, or Asperger syndrome. One of the symptoms of this disorder is a fascination with learning about particular narrow...

    If you still reading this forum. People with asperger's syndrome, or high functioning autism have intense and narrow interests (like they may be totally and completely interested in frogs). DId you have narrow interests? I used to have all of the symptoms of high functioning autism, but they completely went away after I went gluten free. I am seeing of your...

    I have a question, for anyone here who had mental problems as a result of eating gluten. How fast did your problems resolve after you went gluten free? Did you immediately revert to being normal or did it take a while for your brain to readjust?

    Oh, okay yeah that makes sense. I have been looking around on the site to see if anyone had a simliar experience. Although a number of people were effected in strong ways by gluten, I haven't found anyone who's experience was the same as mine, which I find kindof odd.

    I don't think I was schizophrenic. I know quite a few people who think I am autistic, but I don't know anyone who thinks I'm schizophrenic. (That or maybe I am just imagining them all There is a lot of overlap between schizophrenia, some immune disorders, autism and the possible effects of wheat. One of the overlaps is anxiety which makes it kindof confusing...

    Okay, thanks for the responses. Since I get strong anxiety and since my chest hurts on the couple occasions when I have eaten gluten on accident I am pretty sure that I am allergic to wheat. From what I have read if you go gluten free (which I have for a few months now) that could give a false negative if I were to get tested. Since the gluten free...

    I have heard of the Gluten and casein free diet. Some people with autism can be allergic to wheat like I was. I don't however think this is very common. There was a large study about the effects of a wheat and casein free diet on autism and the results were negative. People with high functioning autism are able to hide, to a certain extent, their symptoms...
