I've had many severe psychotic episodes. Where I thought little people were in my house and following me, hiding in my closets and I could see them. They would even follow me in public. I've been so delusional I thought if I put monkies all over my house ( not real ones) that they would protect me. I could go on and on.

My psychiatrists have questioned schizoaffective and instead landed on a dx of Bipolar 1 with Psychosis NOS because I've had so much psychosis and because it was not always present with a mood episode. I didn't push the issue because the med treatment is the same. Meds for mood and meds for psychosis. I didn't want to have to adjust to a new label.

I've read lots about gluten and schizophrenia and more recent research into gluten and bipolar and older research into gluten and autism. They do know for certain that gluten can cause psychiatric symptoms. I think it's interesting when you look at papers that suggest that add, autism, bipolar and schizophrenia are a spectrum. In my mind there is a spectrum there. I'm not saying anti- gluten is a cure all, but it think there is something to it. For me anyways I know that to be looking more true.

I think there is just so much we don't know, it's not going to be just one thing like gluten, but I see too many connections there to completely ignore it either. Same with the spectrum thing, if they are a spectrum, where you fall on that might be very muddy.
