Gluten and dairy intolerance make mood difficulties worse
I have just read an article published by Mary Lochner in the Anchorage Press News
This article matches up with the sort of thing I find working with people diagnosed with mood problems.
Very often it is food related, but so often doctors fail to consider this possibility and simply label people as bipolar rather than investigating possible dietary solutions.
Increasingly one of the culprit foods is gluten. It is difficult to be sure as tests do not always find the problem. Also it often seems that after taking psychiatric drugs people become more dairy (cow) and gluten (usually from wheat and barley) intolerant.
These often go together in the general population, just it seems they go together even more for people who have been through a lot of stress.
