I’m starting a gluten-free diet after seeing some research which corroborated with a podcast I was listening to about diets in use for treatment for people who are afflicted with schizophrenia. This diet is only going to be used with conjunction treatments of antipsychotics and therapy, but it’s not the only diet I’ll try. If it doesn’t work out, then I’ll try another diet which has the epistemological research behind it, and that diet is the very famous Ketogenic diet, or just keto for short.
I’ve already experienced some positive to keeping things gluten free and hence lower carb, as my voices have gone down just the days since I started it. I will keep everyone updated as to my experience with the gluten free diet and then possible keto. The reason we think gluten could be harming my symptoms is because I used to be anaphylactic towards it when I was kid, which went away, but the allergy expert said that it could manifest again in some form, so this might be it.
Gluten free made no difference for me. Actually, it may have made me grumpier because I had to give up stuff I loved so much. I have the best luck with limiting junk food, greasy food, too much meat, sugar, and processed foods. I try to eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, to drink more water, and to work in lots of legumes. I feel so much better.
i did gluten free for 7 years while on and off meds. i dont believe it helped at all. i had some major crazy beliefs at that time and pretty much ruined most parts of my life. and i have compared that to times eating gluten off meds and there is at minimum no difference. possibly was even worse off gluten.
edit: actually i was definitally worse during those 7 years. cant say it was the gluten free diet. but coulda been.
Something that I would like to add to these responses were that it seemed that gluten-free diets only helped with people who had multiple food allergies, especially, and of course, to wheat.
yeah. ive read studies where basically if u got celiac then ur better off on gluten free then gluten, but if u dont, then it is worse for u than eating gluten.
non celiac,gluten>celiac,GF>non celiac, GF>celiac, gluten
Yes, I saw a podcast where Jordan Peterson (please don’t hate me, I realize he isn’t popular on this forum) interviewed Chris Palmer. I’ve just heard about Huberman from my brother, so I’m willing to look him up.
