Hello everyone!

I've got lots on my mind and all the time in the world, but i still can't muster up the brainpower to put my thoughts into words on this damn computer, so i'll just try and keep it simple.

Anybody else here show signs of schizophrenia? Such a big scary word, isn't it? Gluten, dairy, and fruit (especially on an empty stomach) all seem to bring out the crazy in me. I'm suspecting that along with having celiac, i'm also lactose/casein intolerant, have fructose malabsorption issues, and an overgrowth of candida.

I'm thinking that going gluten and dairy free alone will not be enough to heal my gut. A new course of action must be taken, but what? Perhaps the GAPS diet? Or the SCD diet? I notice a lot of conflicting information everywhere i go on what is safe to eat or not eat. I'm not sure what to do, and i'm getting scared of eating at this point, as i fear i'm developing more food intolerances.

I'm not sure what i'm trying to say here, but maybe if someone can point me in a direction, i can stop spinning around in circles.

I can't really point you in a diet direction but ....

If you add a bit of jumping & skipping to the spinning, it can be a very good exercise. :P

Hey, bridge. I'm here chiefly because of my son who is dx'd with sz. I'd like to test my theory that he has a gluten intolerance which is causing his symptoms.

Actually, in all seriousness, Schizo has been linked to gluten issues. Here is one example.

Yes, gluten can cause neurological problems and schizophrenic-like symptoms.

All of the things you list in your post are good suggestions to try. There are many variations of the same diet...something like Paleo or SCD can help you sort out your reactions to other foods and fructose.

Also consider soy- it can cause some nasty symptoms. Don't be overwhelmed, you just have to figure out what food makes you feel your best.

That is perfect Cass! I think that should do the trick for educating Dr.'s about the gluten/schizophrenia connection. Thanks for the resource too!

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
