A report published in February 2004 discussed a study carried out at Johns Hopkins University and Aarhus University in Denmark. 8,000 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia over a period of 20 years were found to have a measurably increased risk of coeliac disease.

Gluten itself is a compound. The part which is believed to cause these problems is called gliadin. Gliadin breaks down into peptides in the digestive system. In most people, peptides cannot pass through the cell walls of the intestine, but in others there are larger gaps between the cells than normal, and they are able to enter the bloodstream. From there, they will be carried to every part of the body, including the brain - and these peptides are "known to influence brain function in a variety of undesirable ways," according to Stephen Gislason MD, CEO of Environmed Research Inc. in West Vancouver, Canada.

He goes on to say: "The milder, but similar brain dysfunctions observed with gluten allergy suggests that food allergy may play a role in schizophrenia, with gluten as a set of triggering antigens."

Both clinical depression and the even more devastating bipolar disorder (aka manic depression) have also been linked with a similar reaction between areas of the brain called, appropriately, gliads and gliadin or its peptides in the bloodstream.
