1 hour hold account 1 hour old comment. I am not trying to be negative but i have seen no science to state that cutting gluten is going to do anything at all for anyone unless they have Celiac disease. You want to back that up with study or something? Its just WOO if i am wrong i will be happy to eat some crow. Further more the comment near this one about some imaginary threshold of MEME count gives something legitimacy. REALLY? WHERE AM I!!

I believe there are a few other conditions besides Celiacs which are pretty serious that make eating gluten a bad look, though less prominent.

It's also impossible to know that you don't have celiac disease unless you've had an immunoassay that comes up negative. Not all celiac cases show severe GI symptoms. As such assuming that someone does not have celiac disease who has not been tested has a 1-2% false negative rate. Secondly, gluten can aggravate FODMAPs sensitivity: http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/fulltext http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(13)00702-6/f... This study is often cited to "prove" that non-celiac gluten sensitivity does not exist, but what it actually shows is that most "NCGS" cases are caused by FODMAPs and that gluten can aggravate the symptoms in a person who has not cut out FODMAPs: >In all participants, gastrointestinal symptoms consistently and significantly improved during reduced FODMAP intake, but significantly worsened to a similar degree when their diets included gluten or whey protein. Gluten increases GI residence time in everybody, which is not an unhealthy effect on its own, but which can increase the duration of exposure to any dietary irritant: http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/0016-5085(83)90374-8/pdf http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/0016-5085(83)90374-8/pd... >Hydrolyzed gluten prolonged intestinal transit time, and this effect was reversed by concomitant administration of naloxone It's seriously that easy to just look up "gluten sensitivity" on Google Scholar or SciFinder or (insert academic search site here) to find these sort of studies. And frankly it's kind of annoying to see people who won't even go to that level of effort degrading the actual personal experiences of someone who is simply trying to improve their own life.

  Thank you for the links. As to laziness on searching for gluten sensitivity" i wasn't the one making the claim that it cures depression. Have an upvote anyways for your efforts.

I don't want anyone in my professional life to know I have suffered severely from depression, so I made a throwaway account. Regarding science and evidence, this is anecdotal, and just my personal experience. It has 100% changed my life, so I thought I would share.

  Honest question, you attribute all of that to simply removing gluten for your diet? edit: typo's

    Yes, pretty much the only thing I have changed. I don't exercise much, and my work more stressful than it ever has been. I'm also fairly lactose intolerant, and cut out dairy years before the gluten thing, and that also had a huge impact on my health.

God forbid someone mentions their own experience, especially if they have a disclaimer it's only their own experience!
