( Natural News ) Italian researchers revealed in a recent article published in the Journal of Neurology the case of a 75-year-old man with Parkinson’s disease whose symptoms dramatically recovered after following a three-month gluten-free diet. The researchers reported that while celiac disease is often associated with gastrointestinal complaints, it also has neurological symptoms. Aside from causing gut and intestinal problems, wheat intolerance is also said to affect the brain and may cause schizophrenia , mania, and autism. There are multiple reasons why gluten is associated with neurotoxicity. Gluten has drug-like compounds. Gluten contains pharmacologically active opioid peptides, gluten exorphins, and gliadorphin, which induces behaviors associated with addiction. Gluten affects immune function. Many studies have shown that consumption of wheat may negatively affect the gut-brain axis, intestinal permeability, and autoimmune response of sensitive populations. Gluten interferes with neurological function. Research has found that the wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) — also known as “wheat lectin” — can cross the blood-brain barrier. In effect, it can affect multiple neurological functions. Gluten can diminish cognitive function. Wheat does not provide the proper kind and amount of nutrients that the brain needs. Previous studies have linked the overconsumption of gluten to cognitive decline in older populations in the West. (Related: Gluten attacks the brain and damages the nervous system. ) With these factors in mind, it comes as no surprise that eliminating gluten from the diet could lead to a reduced risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease .
