i have read in multiple places that bipolar disorder has a connection with gluten intolerance, and thus, a gluten free diet is often suggested for those whom have bipolar disorder...

any thoughts on this or other conditions and the relation that food has to them??

I stay away from processed foods, we do most of our 'cooking' at home...much of it raw fruits, assortment of simply prepared veggies and whole grains...lite on any sauces we use, too. Anyway, I'm pretty much depression free. My anxiety is so far reduced that I'm doing a lot I never dreamed I could. It seems to be helping w/IBS, too.

I can tell you that I think bipolar disorder...in many people...has to do with vitamin/mineral deficiencies and food allergies!

That said...I overcame my bipolar disorder (misdiagnosed was hormonally related)...anyway by eating organic foods. I got rid of the preservatives and food additives and within four months my symptoms were much...much better.

You can check out specifics at the Holistic forum. Honestly...I think that preservatives and food additives are THE MAIN CAUSE for many illnesses because they cause inflammation! Inflammation causes disease.

It's hard work because you really have to rework your entire life but the rewards are vast!!!
