Good one .

I'm afraid you are right... a big part of the lack of information spread is because it doesn't involve a medication so there is nobody to promote it to the physicians. And research dollars are scarce if there is no potential blockbuster drug to come out of it.

There is no downside to a gluten free or gluten free/casein free diet. It makes me crazy, sometimes, how often doctors will actually discourage it unless they find biopsy proven celiac disease when so many suffer the same effects from gluten sensitivity that doesn't show as celiac disease....especially when symptoms are neurological!

I was looking back at this conversation. Two years later. At least there are books coming out about both dairy (casein) and gluten, even if the doctors are still ignoring it.

I see on http://itsnotmental.blogspot.com/ books have been added as well as links. And blog stories about it as in Getting Better, a follow up to Bipolar and off meds.
