I checked it out because symptoms of celiac include psychiatric symptoms. There is slim bit of research that suggest that bipolars have anti-gluten antibodies at a higher rate than general population, same with bovine casein, half the bipolar group carried the celiac genes that predispose you. The research is very slim however they found similar things with schizophrenia and gluten, I think there is already a lot of research into autism and gluten. They found bigger links to gluten and depression tho, but psychosis was also on the list. interestingly patients who were manic had higher gluten related antibody levels that leveled out when mania receeded. No idea what that means, but interesting.

So not getting my hopes up, that would be too crazy!! The research definitely isn't there. I could see how serious gut problems could interfere with mood. Our guts seems pretty emotionally connected.
Thanks for this!
