Diagnosis of a mental disorder and gluten as the main culprit essay example

When a doctor makes a diagnosis of "brain / mental disorder", the first drug after the diagnosis is the drug that the patient must prescribe. While medications are necessary for most and effective treatments, what the average person doesn't know is that many of the symptoms associated with mental illness can also be caused by a gluten allergy. It's also important to recognize that celiac disease isn't the only gluten-related disease, it's just the most famous. Gluten has a wide range of effects, especially on the brain and its daily functioning. Disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and brain fog, may be the result of an allergy to gluten or only to it. For many, a gluten-free diet has eased the symptoms of these disorders, prompting physicians to begin this approach when treating a patient. This is because allergies are caused by an immunological reaction. Testing for this can be difficult, so research must continue to help detect these reactions. More people are becoming aware of gluten sensitivity, and it's important to understand that gluten can also greatly affect the brain; Gluten can be the source of many mental illnesses associated with the brain, and it has been proven that a gluten-free diet can relieve the symptoms of these disorders.

Gluten-free labels can be seen on almost every trip to the grocery store, gluten-free sections are on almost every restaurant menu, and it's not uncommon to hear someone say they're gluten-free almost everywhere. Everyone has heard this phrase, but what exactly is gluten and why does it negatively affect the brain? Gluten is made up of proteins and is found in foods containing wheat, barley and rye. When looking at celiac disease, allergies are caused by an adverse immunological reaction to wheat proteins. In gluten sensitivity (not celiac disease), the symptoms are caused by an increased immune response to gluten, and this reaction usually comes from genetics as well. Gluten specifically degenerates the brain and nerve tissue to a large extent for allergy sufferers, causing neurological problems. to (Gaesser). Because of people hearing about these allergies, they may assume that a gluten-free diet is appropriate for a healthy person. Many people prefer a gluten-free diet, believing that due to common allergies and celiac disease, they immediately assume that gluten is bad in general. This is not always the case as many of the problems are related to genetics. It's extremely important to assume that a gluten-free diet is for everyone's holiday because there are benefits to gluten if you're healthy and don't suffer from allergies.

In addition to spreading the trend based on these assumptions, the benefits of diet for a person who is struggling with mental health is very important information to pass on.

When looking at depression, gluten symptoms can stem from symptoms. In an article published in the journal Functional Medicine Patient Education, the author states: “… the intestinal wall becomes excessively porous. This allows undigested food, toxins, and bacteria to enter the bloodstream, where they cause inflammation throughout the body and brain" ("Gluten can cause depression, anxiety, brain fog, and other brain disorders"). There are many different reactions that can cause brain damage. This article looks at bacteria found in gluten that cannot be digested by most. This is why many celiac patients may also struggle with depression; there is a direct correlation. In addition to this method, there is also a reaction called gluten cross-reactivity. Gluten has a structure similar to brain tissue. The immune system can then confuse gluten in the bloodstream with brain tissue and attack the brain. All of these gluten-related reactions cause an imbalance with bacteria (good and bad) in the digestive tract. Because many nutrients needed for brain health are absorbed in the digestive tract, many nutrients end up not being absorbed, which slows or stops the chemicals needed to prevent mental illness. In fact, these processes are very complex and can be difficult to detect. Either testing or testing of a gluten-free diet will usually determine the diagnosis of gluten allergy due to complexity.

To test gluten-related disorders and treatments, the University of Maryland conducted a six-year study on 347 patients. This study tested the symptoms of these patients and how they are related, as well as the treatment. The results showed that "the two most common extracellular manifestations with gluten load were 'foggy mind' (42%) and fatigue (36%)" (Reese Parish 44). Of the 347 patients, these numbers are very important in assessing symptoms. These symptoms are also found in people with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and many other brain disorders. It is also important to recognize that the majority of these subjects did not know that these symptoms could be caused by gluten, they were randomly selected. Thirty-seven patients with similar symptoms were then included in the study and treated by removing gluten from their diet, and all symptoms were reduced. It is still extremely studied and discussed by many scientists, but research and studies have proven the mental health benefits of a gluten-free diet and that allergies are actually common throughout the world.

Many other studies support the validity of doctors recommending gluten-free diets to patients suffering from mental illness. The Gastroenterological Research Publication includes another study of a five-year-old girl with extreme psychiatric problems. Until the age of four, the girl was healthy, but she suddenly began to have visual and auditory hallucinations. This girl suffered from hallucinations of fairies to horrible scenes of a young boy. Her mother first tried eliminating soy, corn, and dairy products from her diet, but to no avail. While attending lectures on nutrition when she was older, she came up with the idea of ​​eliminating gluten, which caused her hallucinations to completely disappear. “She talks about how, for the first time in her life, she was able to focus on her studies, which allowed her to get a degree in biology and get a job” (Genuis). Without a gluten-free diet, this girl may never be able to continue her studies and become successful. A second case study also confirms the improvement. This study was conducted in Melbourne, Australia by Monash University. The researchers specifically focused on the brain fog associated with gluten sensitivity and whether aspects such as memory, attention, processing efficiency, and motor function would improve after eliminating gluten. The results of the study concluded: "Patients showed significant improvement in 4 of the cognitive tests, and improvement in measures of verbal fluency, attention, and motor function at 52 weeks was highly correlated with Bolot's scores and increased anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies" (Laidman). The second time, brain function improved significantly after he experienced brain fog before he was put on a diet. The study also showed that in some patients, the symptoms did not improve, suggesting that these symptoms are not always the result of gluten, but they are very common. This study also showed how many tests are needed to really know the effects of gluten. In the future, we hope that these studies and scientists will find more effective tests and methods for detecting allergies.

Gluten-free diets have been a fad for a considerable period of time, but not many people realize that this diet may be necessary for some when trying to treat mental health problems.

Although celiac disease is the most common gluten allergy, general psychiatric/mental disorders are also associated with gluten allergy. The reactions that cause these symptoms are complex and testing is difficult, which is why many doctors immediately prescribe a gluten-free diet to see if symptoms disappear or improve. Countless case studies prove the effectiveness of a gluten-free diet for mental health problems. This is still a widely discussed issue and is still being researched, so it's good to spread the word about the benefits of a gluten-free diet for those who are not completely healthy or have mental health problems. This discussion needs to continue so that more technologies and less complex testing can be found to help people with gluten allergies.

Gluten and Anxiety: Is There a Link?

The term gluten refers to a group of proteins found in various grains, including wheat, rye and barley.

Although most people can tolerate gluten, it can cause a number of harmful side effects in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Some say that gluten not only causes indigestion, headaches, and skin problems, but it can also contribute to psychological symptoms such as anxiety (1).

This article discusses research in more detail to determine if gluten may be a concern.

Celiac disease

In patients with celiac disease, eating gluten causes inflammation in the intestines, causing symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and fatigue. 2).

Some research suggests that celiac disease may be associated with a higher risk of certain psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.3).

A gluten-free diet can not only relieve symptoms of celiac disease, but also reduce anxiety.

In fact, a 2001 study showed that after a gluten-free diet for 1 year, anxiety decreased in 35 people with celiac disease.4).

Another small study of 20 people with celiac disease reported that participants experienced higher levels of anxiety before starting a gluten-free diet than after following it for 1 year.5).

However, conflicting results have been noted in other studies.

For example, one study found that women with celiac disease were more likely to have anxiety compared to the general population, even after completing a gluten-free diet.6).

Notably, homestay was also associated with a higher risk of anxiety disorders in the study, which may be related to the stress of buying and preparing meals for family members with and without celiac disease. 6).

Moreover, a 2020 study of 283 people with celiac disease reported a high frequency of anxiety in people with celiac disease and found that following a gluten-free diet did not significantly improve anxiety symptoms.

So while a gluten-free diet may reduce anxiety in some people with celiac disease, it may not reduce anxiety or even contribute to stress and anxiety in others.

More research is needed to evaluate the effect of a gluten-free diet on anxiety in people with celiac disease.

Gluten sensitivity

People with gluten sensitivity to gluten may also experience harmful side effects from consuming gluten, including symptoms such as fatigue, headaches and muscle pain.7).

In some cases, people who are not sensitive to celiac disease may also experience psychological symptoms such as depression or anxiety.7).

Although more qualitative research is needed, some studies suggest that removing gluten from the diet may be beneficial in these conditions.

In one study of 23 people, 13% of participants reported that their subjective anxiety decreased after a gluten-free diet (8).

Another study in 22 people with gluten sensitivity without celiac disease found that eating gluten for 3 days resulted in increased feelings of depression compared to controls.9).

Although the cause of these symptoms is still unclear, some research suggests that the effect may be due to changes in the gut microbiome, a community of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract that are involved in several aspects of health.10,11).

Unlike celiac disease or wheat allergy, there is no specific test used to diagnose gluten sensitivity.

However, if you experience anxiety, depression, or any other negative symptoms after eating gluten, consult your doctor to determine if a gluten-free diet is right for you.

Essence

Anxiety is often associated with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

Although studies have shown mixed results, several studies show that monitoring a gluten-free diet can help reduce anxiety symptoms in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
