I ate a mostly gluten-free diet last year due to acid reflux, just to see if gluten was the cause. I occasionally allowed myself to slip and have a little gluten here and there and I discovered something interesting: my bipolar symptoms were INTENSE (moderate-severe anxiety, hypomania/mixed episodes) the 2 days following having gluten. It could have just been a coincidence, but now I've decided to go completely gluten-free just in case.
Have any of you tried giving up gluten and found that gluten triggered your bipolar symptoms?
