[QUOTE="Josie, post: 213584, member: 1792"] I am sorry about your husband. We have had great success with the gluten free diet relieving depression/anxiety in my house. My daughter and I both feel better mentally on it. My daughter also has to do casein free (milk). I believe when she has milk, she is mean and violent and when she has gluten, she is irritable and angry. I think if she were still eating it regularly, she would end up with a bipolar diagnosis. I have read on the gluten free board about people being diagnosis'ed with bipolar and/or depression and being able to get off their medications after starting the diet. If you are interested, I can send you a copy of an e-mail from the national celiac listserve describing what happens to people on the gluten free diet who have a little bit of gluten. It sounds like bipolar. You could have your husband get tested for celiac disease, but a negative result wouldn't mean the gluten free diet wouldn't help him. No one in my family has had a positive test, but many of us benefit from the diet in different ways. You could also just try the diet and see if he felt better. I could feel the results by the second day, but some people take longer. I was taking Lexapro when I started the girlfriend diet and could tell that I would need to get off from it by the second day. I felt "giddy". I was able to taper off without any medical supervision but it could be challenging figuring out what to do about medications. My daughter tapered off very slowly over about a year from her Lexapro. Another unconventional cause I have found for bipolar is Lyme disease. To research this, you would need to look into the alternative Lyme information. Most of the information you will see about Lyme dismisses what Lyme patients believe to be true. Here is a link about neuropsychiatric effects of Lyme. [URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20140625161557/http://www.ilads.org/lyme/Psychiatric_Brochure_08_08.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
