my article

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone;

 

I heard back from Lyra, the lady at the Beligan Vegetarian

Society, about what they would like in their article.

 

Lyra seems particularly interested in the effect of gluten on

mind clarity.

 

As you may know, when gluten is digested, it bonds with stomach

acid to produce opioids, narcotic-like substances that tend to

addictive and pacifying. Possibly due to this, some people have

been reporting increased clarity of mind when they stopped eating

gluten.

 

Has anyone on this list experienced anything like that?

 

If yes, would you write about it please?

 

I'm the only person I know in real life who avoids gluten.

However, my own experience does seem to bear out the increased

clarity experience. I remember some period of days or weeks

after initially drastically reduced my gluten intake close to

zero, experiencing something like a foggy filter clearing from

my mind.

What you described just sounded like the link between autism and gluten

intolerance. There is also a similar link being made to bipolar and other mood

disorders.

 

My second son is always tired and unable to focus, just like his dad. Both of

them are currently on a wheat trial on the advice of our ped. I am ready for it

to end, but the ped insists that since there is no physical reaction (except a

dh like rash on both their buttocks and upper thighs - sigh) that they are fine.

 

Have you done much research into clinical ecology? It has always been the

contention of CEs that gluten caused brain problems as part of the list of

" atypical " allergy symptoms. There is some very clear studies into this

including one which talks about the fact that the brain is less capable of

controlling it's cell wall permeability than other vital organs and that this

accounts for much of the depression, tiredness, mental dullness and brain blips

that Celiac's and others with gluten intolerance and allergies suffer. I wrote

several articles on this topic last year. Let me know if I can help at all.

Yes please Brenda. Anything you can share with me on this would

be much appreciated. Off-list is fine, if you prefer.
