Isn’t it great when science explains and proves what you’ve known all along? I’ve certainly felt a lot better since eliminating wheat from my diet 5 years ago and now feel a ‘rush’ if I accidentally eat some; makes sense of the addictive effect mentioned in the article. Also I hardly have any dairy apart from kefir which I’ve delegated to doing the digesting for me.
Well worth reading the whole article.
Could there be a food-based cure for schizophrenia, bipolar, and depressive disorders? It is my firm conviction that diet – both what it may be deficient in as well as its potential toxicity – can cause what we label as mental illness.
I believe in a partnership with my patients; however, my most paternalistic mandate, as a psychiatrist, is that of a gluten and casein free dietary trial.
