A member asked:

Could gluten give depression even without having the celiac disease?

Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes: Yes, I have seen gluten intolerance (short of celiac disease) be associated with depression -- and remit when a gluten-free diet is followed carefully for several months. I think it's worth a try in all patients with mood disorders, who are willing to do it.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
