Is there a link between mental health issues and nutrition?

(New Zealand)

Is gluten making you depressed? Eating gluten if you are a coeliac (diagnosed or not) seems to have an impact not only on your physical health, but also on your mental health.

What Are The Reasons For This? Does Anyone Have Any Clues? Or Experience

clear thinking
by: Anonymous

After countless health problems and lack of sensible diagnosis other that iron deficiency and digestive system problems I cut out all gluten from my diet ... and what a difference! I am not bloated anymore, my stomach stopped hurting after months of pain, but the most interesting thing is my thinking is not muddled and for the first time in months I can concentrate and I don't feel like I'm in coma.
So I guess it is affecting mental health as well.

Gluten could make you depressed
by: Yvonne

I suffered from depression, panic attacks, muddled thinking, and all the Drs. could suggest was a psychiatrist. They said I was absolutely normal(?). Friend suggested gluten free, so tried it and what a difference. Was tested years ago - not coeliac - so cut most gluten out, but suspect that now am affected by even small quantities of gluten, so am going to request a retest.
