-- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 2:38 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 I can't post the damn link, but google "gluten-brain connection". states: Recent successes with two kinds of therapy provide some indirect support for the connection of celiac disease with mental illness.  Gluten-free diets (sometimes combined with dairy-free) have been used for autism, depression and schizophrenia.  When troublesome proteins, especially alpha-gliadin in gluten and casein in milk are avoided, marked improvement has been reported by a number of individuals with these brain biochemistry disorders.  The other therapy is to use essential fatty acids (emphasizing Omega 3, "cold-water fish" oils) with the same illnesses.  The NIH has funded studies for these therapies. now im not saying "hop on this train!" but if nothing has ever worked, give it a try. the only reason im doing it, in fact. tried every medication, every medication since 7th grade. except lexapro. i kind of stopped after the fucking millionth pill. anyways i just thought i was interesting... -- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 2:38 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 i thought IT was interesting, not I. i am pretty cool though. -- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 2:42 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 uh...is it something i said? im not undermining meds i was trying to post a link. -- Posted by pinkertongrass at 2:44 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 doesn't like practically everything have gluten in it though? -- Posted by qi at 2:44 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 I've heard about it, don't know if I believe it, though. -- Posted by hivemind at 2:46 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 ive heard about the fatty acid's one, it has had good sucess as far as i no, never heard of the other one though. -- Posted by murphy mcbagel at 2:51 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 why were so many posts deleated?
