Default Schizophrenia and gluten sensitivity

Schizophrenia, gluten, and low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diets: a case report and review of the literature.

Kraft BD, Westman EC.
ABSTRACT: We report the unexpected resolution of longstanding schizophrenic symptoms after starting a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet. After a review of the literature, possible reasons for this include the metabolic consequences from the elimination of gluten from the diet, and the modulation of the disease of schizophrenia at the cellular level.
PMID: 19245705

The full article/ case study is available online:

Conclusion
While more research is needed to confirm the association between gluten intake and
schizophrenia and whether dietary change can ameliorate schizophrenic symptoms, health care
providers could consider screening patients with schizophrenia for celiac disease and/or augment
the medical regimen with a gluten-free or low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet.
