Food and Mental Illness

For many years I suffered from very mild depression and migraine. I was also very sensitive to certain types of light. I just thought this was normal for some people.

Then at the age of 56, I was diagnosed as a coeliac and for the last two years I have been on a gluten-free diet. Basically, that is no bread, beer or pasta.

All of the symptoms have disappeared. As a scientist, I have found several scientific papers in the literature, linking lack of vitamins to all sorts of brain problems.

So those who decry the link between food and behaviour and mental illness, do so at your own peril.
