Same thing happened to me 14 years ago. Never looked back. Went from almost failing undergrad, sleeping 15 hours a night, anxious, depressed, apathetic, joint pains, sad/tearful, hopeless to now practicing as a physician!
I cut out gluten by myself I'm 15 and I used to be depressed all the time, decided to stop eating all gluten and a lot of issues vanished. I will never eat wheat again
Good for you, that is incredible!!! Your comment is inspiring to me because I am so lost in life, always been depressed, anxious and different somehow, just trying to push through life. When I am in a good mood, I think about going back to school for a masters in counseling. I'm hoping a gluten free can give me the mindset to pursue my dreams. Best of luck on your journey.
Rye can contain ergot fungus, which contains LSA - the natural precursor to LSD. The grains were imbued with psychoactive properties. They think that may have contributed to the salem witch trials
Its life changing. My wife says i am back to the man she fell in love with when we met 17years ago. Gluten made me so sick the last few years i had to give it up. Immediate results.
I cannot thank you enough for this. About two weeks ago I started to cut gluten and I’ve never felt better in my life. I have so much energy, clear headed, and happy. I can’t believe it. I wish I would have known sooner but I’m happy to be here now.
@@OGAesthetics Hi! This has completely changed my life for the better. It has stabilized my mood and energy levels are consistent. Inflammation has decreased dramatically! Whenever I have gluten now, I notice an immediate change in mood, anxiety and inflammation. How do you feel so far?
@@gemmae4521 i have like 15 different symptoms that have just been getting worse the past 2 years. mainly feel like im developing alzheimer/dementia, chronic fatigue and like 4-5 different skin issues. 3 days in so far. feeling abit lighter today, better cognition and mood for sure. im hoping this just keeps improving day by day, i really hope this is it.
I went grain free for about 5 days and people started commenting at how dark my hair was getting. Asking if I was dying it. I must have been unable to absorb nutrients which resulted in my hair fading in colour. My social anxiety also almost completely vanishes. To the point I shock myself at how confident I become talking to anyone. It's like it's not me talking. Depression goes away after 2 days. To the point I'm insanely happy. I just feel happy to do anything. I just feel like smiling all the time. Can't wait to do this diet again. Don't know why I stopped. Highly recommend people to try going grain and caffeine free Great video
Glad to hear! I just started limiting wheat and gluten; have not even looked at ingredients yet just started about a week and a bit ago and feel much better. Less brain fog, depression, anxiety and joints feel better. If just limiting has this effect I will continue to slowly cut out most gluten/wheat out of my diet as this is potentially life changing!
@@MM-yy9us that's something I forgot about. I didn't even realise I had joint pain until I start this diet. I feel so light and fresh. Like I'm a kid again. Like I can just jump out of bed in the morning or run up and down the stairs Are you still doing the diet?
@@mimi1girl2dempsey3 caffeine for me has many of the same effects as grains. Probably as its also very damaging to the gut. Makes me depressed anxious and angry all at the same time. When I go grain free and still drinking coffee I don't feel the same benefits. The more coffee I drink the more bloated my stomach looks. Still have joint pain. No motivation. Feel tired. Gives me pain in my liver also. I can't honestly think of a benefit of consuming caffeine. Other than it makes people feel good as they're addicted to it or for a quick boost of energy. But energy can't just come from nowhere. Takes a toll on the body. You know something is bad if you get terrible withdrawal effects from eliminating it from your diet.
@@jamietorrance9074 Caffeine doesn't even give you energy, in broad terms, it just blocks the adenosine receptors so that there isn't any adenosine running in your system preventing you from feeling tired. Drinking water itself is significantly a better substitute compared to Caffeine which is unhealthy and is not necessary for humans.
This is crazy because I would describe to my friends "It feels like I'm the guy in Limitless" I was gluten free for about 6 months while doing fasting. It helped my depression and inflammation I had in my brain (Post Concussive Syndrome) then I thought I was fine and started eating bread again. Learned the hard way that it just was not worth it. Thanks for the video
Ive had friends say im manic :) Because I can go from thinking like 200% faster than normal and think 3-4 moves ahead in speech like face to face. I have to slow myself down all day because I can go off so fast and technical like 1.5 speed on youtube videos. And I can read and remember so much text and science studies and so on. But give me a pizza, 2 beers and 2 ice creams and im gone for like 2-3 days, slow, tired, no body energy, brain slow, like out of body experience. Like talking with customers and having to say like, im having a gluten attack and they mostly know what it is. A quick google and they know im not that crazy because they already know the "super" me. Gluten and lactose seems to be the problem. Just did a bloodtest and 23andme.com DNA to confirm
I’ve been only five days gluten free and my digestive symptoms have gone away! I struggle so much with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder and headaches-I can’t believe a medical professional has never recommended this diet to me! I was so desperate for change and miserable I would have tried anything. So thankful to finally feel better ☀️
I'm not surprised the medical profession never recommended this for you. I'm glad you're doing so much better. I am going to go gluten free. Tired of the depression, being tired, digestive issues etc.
I’m 22, my brain fog was that bad on gluten that I thought I was getting early onset Alzheimer’s, no joke. I couldn’t remember anything and my social ability was basically 0 I couldn’t have a conversation with anyone. Cut out gluten and after a week my head felt a lot more clear and I could start to be confident again in my memory and abilities. Gluten is a killer. I really miss pizza tho :(
heyy bravo so happy to hear that :) keep going. i am going through a similar situation brain fog , bad memory and fatigue. Now, is the 2nd day gluten free and already feel my brain more clear. Miss bread too but it worths the try
u still feel good bro? im dealing with the same issue. cant talk to anyone really my brain doesnt work. had gluten yesterday and honestly feeling super depressed today
I have been miserable for almost 3 years with exteme depression, a couple bad panic attacks, anxiety almost constantly, high heart rate, binge eating, etc. I have been gluten free for a week and all of it is GONE. and no cravings, it’s crazy how food will do this! i never will go back to gluten 🧐
@@BizKit167 OH i will update you - two weeks ago i changed to a gluten free / plant based (vegan diet) and boy it’s amazing for my mental, physical, etc! I have NO reactions , no downs after eating, no low moments - 100% best decision ever!
I'm 9 months gluten free. Changed my life for good. I had intestinal problems + all of the symptoms mentioned above in video. I strongly suggest: go gluten free!
Doctors are drug salesman, nothing more then that. They have no nutritional science education and it was set up that way to keep them in the dark. A lot of evil people out there, watch what you put into your delicate insides.
It gives me hope that you posted this video 🙂. I was 54 when a brilliant psychiatrist suggested that I eliminate gluten. I have some permanent balance issues, it’s important for people to start eliminating gluten at younger ages. It’s been a miracle.
I am 25 years old . Diagnosed with ADHD since age 8. Througout ny life had symptoms of stomache aches and other stomache issues. I naturally had celiac test that came out negative and was diagnosed with irritable bowl syndrom. The past year I had experieced symptoms of Joint pains in both knees and elbows. Depressions, anxiety . I have had phases of muscle tingelibg and uncontrolled jumps Fatigue and brain fogs and ofc the regular stomache aches . I am about to embark on a glouten free journy , hoping I can let all thoes things go. Today was the day where I couldnt take it anymore and came across the gluten intolerance non celiac articles in which shockingly I could check 7/ 8 symptom boxes. Thanks for the video !
I didn't test positive for celiac, but my latest blood tests showed me having an allergy to gluten and wheat flour. The odd thing is I took such tests three years ago and didn't show up. It's tough to know what's going on when you have IBS. I haven't had gluten and dairy for about 5 weeks. I have also been drinking celery juice every day for about a month. I also make gluten free pancakes that are very nutritious and feed good bacteria. I just wish I could go out and eat with friends. I am not there yet.
@@mrcroco5121 In my case, I think so, but that's because I have IBS and for many suffering from that it's best to keep away from gluten for a while, at least. If you're going to consume gluten, then wait some months and take special enzymes along if you feel you have to have a pizza with friends. I am also avoiding spicy food as much as possible. I am also holding off on having dairy until my gut is much stronger.
@@mrcroco5121 I have had ADHD since I was a kid, as well. You should take a multi-faceted approach for your problem. And there's no one size fits all. Most people with ADHD, autism, and other things supposedly have gut issues. You could gradually do many things like intermittent fasting. If you're having trouble sleeping and allergies, then reduce histamine causing foods and liberators. Histamine levels going up can also lead to brain fog. People dealing with histamine issues at least temporarily cut out dairy, gluten, oranges. You have to research and look at your symptoms.
I just went 2 days without gluten and last night I had insomnia and went to a job interview on only 4 hours sleep...normally i cant even get out of bed after 9 hours sleep. Had no idea gluten caused psychological issues I'm so excited to find this information (bioplar-ish, ADHD person here)
I quit bread 7 days ago and I have so much energy and my mind is clear! I’m seriously going to try going completely gluten free and see what happens. I feel amazing already just from not eating any bread!
I love that you described it as like the movie "Limitless" because this is exactly what I was just thinking. Since getting rid of gluten from my diet for only 3 days it feels like a fog has lifted and I am suddenly happy and am getting some great ideas/inspiration/motivation and energy. It is so bizarre. I am very excited. Thank you for reiterating exactly how this feels to me.
Dude, it's like you read my mind. Everything you said in this video echo's my own thoughts. How I felt both before and after going wheat free. If only I'd known at a younger age. I might be a completely different person today. The mental clarity I have now is unbelievable.
Its totally been changing my life as well. I was prescribed anti depressants and adderall throughout high school and I didn't know why I felt un focused and tired all the time, always over weight no matter how hard I dieted or what I tried ! Thank you for sharing.
Wow. This is definitely a sign; I was recently (2 weeks ago) diagnosed with severe depression, severe anxiety, and adhd. I had recently been complaining on reddit about Brian fog, lethargy, fatigue, and just overall slowness, while I hadn’t always been that way. I was prescribed venlafaxine for the depression and anxiety but it made me feel unlike myself so I stopped after the first week (no withdrawal symptoms thank God). I had recently heard about gluten as a cause but I was hesitant to try. I guess I’ll be joining the team now! Awesome video and Also, thank you for the free ebook ❤️❤️
I agree with what you said man. I stopped 2 days ago. I cut it completely. What happened the next day was astounding. I felt the cloud you were talking about....it does feel like it doesn't exist anymore
Thank u so much for sharing Dr. ! I’m officially giving up gluten, it’s been a week and I already feel more clear and energized. I wish I would’ve done this sooner. I’m sure that gluten was the problem since I was a little kid. Now that I think about it, I use to cry every morning because I woke up feeling depressed and I still have morning depression but as an adult, I don’t cry, I stay in bed. I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with me, I thought it could be hormones changing now that I’m in my thirties. I took a food sensitivity blood test and waiting on results
I watched this video because I’m in search of alleviating my ADHD symptoms. I tried eliminating gluten before, and on day 3 I felt manic, too! I also felt like it was all in my head. But I couldn’t deny that I was in a great mood and felt so good. I fell off the wagon after a few weeks, but I’m definitely going to give it another shot as I just graduated college. Thanks so much for this!!
Thank you. This helps explain my condition to people who are so ignorant and intolerant and don't understand my sensitivity and think I'm just making it up.
Definitely starting this journey. Never considered I'd be person who needed to go gluten free until I started researching what it does for people with anxiety, depression, ADHD and thyroid and immune disease. Hoping it dramatically changes my life like it did yours. Thanks for the video
Hey Scott, compared to other TH-cam doc channels and creators discussing this stuff, I really appreciate your straightforward and honest approach. Talking like you do in real life makes it one of the best ways to get the info across. Thanks a bunch, mate!
I’m almost 40 found out when u was 38. The brain fog, the pain, the gut issues, the inflammation of joints the depression, anxiety, and just not feeling normal. I’m so glad it’s going sad to say but if you have this issue, life did not feel like it’s worth living with it. Now I’m back to my old self and I feel amazing. It’s only been a little more than a year, but I can’t believe how long I suffered. I can go on it on about the symptoms. I actually can’t eat a whole meal without being doubled over with pain. Thank you God! you really have to do your own research because a lot of doctors will dismiss you as for me. My blood test came back negative but my stomach culture was positive so don’t believe it when they tell you you were negative by blood because your stomach could be positive.
Yes, it is terrible to suffer without any knowledge or control over the underlying cause. For some, it can create quite a storm and cycle of self-blame and shame in addition to the already disruptive consequences it produces throughout the fabric of our lives. I'm glad you found the information you needed to make the dietary adjustment and profoundly change your life. The process of becoming self-aware, informed, and willing to initiate (often difficult) changes for our future betterment is not an easy one but one abundantly worth it. Thank you for sharing!
I’m about to give a gluten free diet a try in an attempt to help alleviate a panic disorder that came on out of nowhere about five years ago. I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to gluten being one of the culprits. I eat a lot of Asian food and notice when I consume soy sauce or tofu too much my anxiety is much worse. This video was helpful. Thanks!
Yeah, going gluten-free has gotten rid of my lifelong anxiety and depression, as well as other adverse physical health issues that was caused by gluten.
My brother-in-law has Crones disease and he has significantly improved his quality of life going paleo/gluten-free. I've recently gone that path in the past 30 days and oh boy have I seen positive changes going on in my body.
That's great to hear about your brother's results and yours as well. It's amazing how such a simple diet change can have a profound transformative effect on your life! Stick with it, your gut will heal more and more as you remain gluten/grain-free and the positive health benefits will continue.
Doctor Scott Health Hello dr. Scott. I have brain fog, depression and I’m not socializing very well. And I decided to go gluten free. How long did it take for you to feel this effect and be relived?
Honestly I believe this to be true. My son suffered from seizures and once we removed gluten AND food colouring, supplemented with on omega 3 high EPA fish oil, he was healed. It was a miracle and I thank God everyday. Thanks Doc for sharing your experience!
Thank you for this video! I stopped eating gluten and i feel like a normal person and that limitless feeling you are talking about. But for years I’ve been suffering from all those systems you were talking about and it cause drama with friends and family because of my emotions being all over the place.
I'm starting to think that alot of peoples issues could be stemming from a intolerance of gluten. Theres people on the celiac website online saying they literally went 15 years with anxiety, depression, ocd and then stopped eating gluten and it pretty much disappeared over night
It’s crazy, that’s what I’m experiencing at the moment. Still can’t believe that all those health issues that I ve been trying to treat separately: anxiety, digestion problems, even muscle aches and more; all of that had the same cause.
Over night? I think it takes some time for your body to clean from the gluten and it's takes some time until you actually feel better. I don't think over night
My first experience of feeling well happened during a fast for a colonoscopy test. The three days without food cleared my depression and IBS. I was feeling great for a few weeks after that but reversed to my old depressed and crazy self. I didn't think that wheat was the culprit at the time. Now I'm down to one meal a day and gluten free. I feel great and my weight is under control without much effort. If I cheat, I can't stop eating wheat afterward. I'm like an alcoholic but for wheat. So it's either none at all or abuse.
But also thank you for being so open and honest with your past struggles and how this is radically helped you I think this is going to change the mental health game dramatically.... It has even helped people I love that have symptoms associated with autism. You are awesome keep it up thank you for doing what you do
I like your story because it's like mine. Practically the same. At the beginning of giving up gluten I became foggy free brain after two weeks and I just couldn't believe it because I have been trying hard my whole life to think clearly. Now I don't stop shearing my experience to all I want and love, even though the majority is relactan to believe it. Thanks for shearing your change in life.
Dude, really kind of you and brave to share your experience here, I'm going to be starting gluten free today over the next month to see how it will affect overall mood and motivation for work, you're helping loads of people with this! Thanks
Heart palpitations! I lived the last 4 years with heart palpitations and no one could find the answer. I also have excruciating pain in my joints, blurry vision, bloating, inflammation, anxiety and sleeping problems 😮
Sounds like a autoimmunity problem. I got all the above after covid 2020 Feb. Probably vasculitis... I improve with fasting, grain free, seed oil free. Peter Osborne helped me a lot. All the best from Romania ❣️
@@katec2630 my heart palpitations yes got worse after a heavy carb and gluten meal. Also food sensitivity was another cause. I have histamine intolerance. I think what caused mine was antibiotics. I stopped eating gluten a month ago and it was no better. So, last week I started taking Culturelle digestive probiotics for woman and after a few days I’m fine. Even the inflammation in my legs got better. Hard to believe but true. Had gluten again with no problems. But tomorrow I’m starting a raw fruit and vegetable fast to reset my gut. I still can’t believe how much better I feel after suffering all these years taking these probiotics. It’s amazing.
My eyes itch, my nose gets blocked then so does my throat. Ive been put on a gluten free diet by a functional nutritionist. Im on day three. Never eating the stuff again. I like breathing more than pizza.
This is what is so mind boggling to me: I have taken anti-depressants meds for anxiety for over 20 years. They never really worked but I was scared to stop taking them. It took three or four days of not eating gluten and the dark cloud of depression has lifted. I got lazy last week with family in town and "treated myself" to pizza, cake, pasta, bread etc. and my depression came roaring back. Again - three days off gluten and I feel good again. I can't believe I've suffered so long barely able to work, house a mess, relationship issues, and the thing to cure me was not eating wheat. If you're curious I have not given up my anti-depressants yet. Maybe someday soon though. Also, I still eat pizza without eating the crust, and possibly a wheat cracker here and there...I don't treat myself like a Celiac who can't have even a crumb of bread, cake, etc.....but definitely have VERY few wheat-containing products. Side note: Why didn't my psychiatrist recommend gluten-free instead of simply prescribing pills which never seemed to work? I think we all know the answer to that. ($$$$)
@@oneofthosecreativetypes24 I kind of already stopped by the time I saw this video and your post. I was wondering why I hadn’t had a hidradentitis supprativa flare up. (I’m sure I butchered the spelling of that, but it’s close 😂.) I also wondered why I could eat a cup of cooked rice before bed and not sweat in the middle of the night but pasta would have my bed sheets drenched. Just a few changes and I realized what it was. It’s funny that different types of wheat do me differently. Like a tortilla vs a burger bun vs pasta vs fried foods. They all mess me up in different ways. I quit the pasta first because I prefer rice, rice noodles, and glass noodles over wheat pasta. They also made me feel the worse. So I thought. Like you, I had a sort of a relapse 😅 and ate some fried food and my goodness! I realized I had been suffering with IBS for over 3 decades and just got used to the pain. And the thing is, my mother took me to the doctor when I was a child about the HS boils and the IBS issues I was having and they just shrugged me off when they couldn’t figure out anything. I was so used to suffering in not just what I’ve mentioned here, but in other ways too, that I just trudged on. I’ve been trying to heal myself as I’m sure there is just a hamster wheel of sickness, medical bills, and big pharma trying to keep us all depressed and destitute. The peace of mind and clarity that has come with knowing that I don’t have to suffer with HS anymore is beyond refreshing. I’ve never had a real relationship because I was so embarrassed they may think I have an STD. All because of WHEAT! I’m going to cure my gut with fermented foods and hopefully find a husband and have some kids within the next decade.
It took me 44 yrs and I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity while undergoing an upper and a lower scope due to GI symptoms and acid reflux. In May 2019 I got the diagnosis but for some odd reason I didn’t stop the gluten diet. Now that I had been doing intermittent fasting for about seven days and had cut down a lot of wheat I feel that brain fog is lifting and my joints are better and I started loosing weight. It feels like when I was 17 yrs old going to play tennis
I must admit, even after being a week gluten free, I am definitely less tired, I have energy and the best thing is, as someone who struggles with boredom eating, I honestly do not feel like snacking or eating junk food. I’m definitely feeling so much better than what I was a week ago and I’m hoping this can be a long term thing
I changed my life just with cutting any grain products with gluten. Only buckwheat (not a real grain) made it for me. Since I stopped eating grain like bred, pizza, pasta I feel so much better especially after getting up in the morning. I don’t look tired, my skin and Teint got better from day to day. ❤
Thank you! Spread the word! I figured it out for myself but I know so many people with depression and anxiety who are very addicted to gluten! I wish they would try it for just one week! I recently had to broaden my diet before testing and I got a rush of anxiety from the gluten. It took about a week for it to go away! It also very seriously messed with my hormones! I’m so glad to be back to ketovore! I feel normal and healthy again! Also people need to know gluten is stored cumulatively and does not go away for 6 months.
The brain fog and need to use the bathroom immediately after eating has been with me all my 48 years. In the few years it’s gotten a lot worse. This is all making sense!
I've started a gluten free diet a few days ago as I experience anxiety, low energy, brain fog, rumination, etc.. and it's always been in waves and most of the time there's no real reason behind why I'd be feeling this way and then I heard about how gluten affects our mental health so hopefully soon I can see the real benefits of going gluten free
I had a concussion back in 2013 and it lasted about a year and a half. I've had so many doctor's visits in regards to my brain fog that I can't even count. For the longest time, I thought it was the concussion symptoms and accepted the harsh reality. Fast forward to 2020, I had brain fog for several months and later found out that pollen was the reason (now that I think about it, it could've been gluten since I was eating pretty healthy too). Now, it is back again and I am suspecting that it is and was gluten all these years. I'm going to cut gluten for a few months and see if I will finally become free of brain fog. I'll be back with updates
@@AssyrianKing4ever give it some more time! atleast a week or two :D i had my last bite of gluten yesterday. well, gluten and a bunch of sugar. and i have had so bad anxiety all day today, especially this morning. but every hour or so that passes im feeling better, "detoxing" the shit out of my body lol. day 1 no gluten today
Basically look up Brain Inflammation and start to cross off the possible causes. I also get a 2000 item food alergy test every 4 months and build a diet around that. Plenty online for £40.
I relate to your post but I was really unlucky. I tried to get tested several time in 2015, 2016. All result came back negative and since I didn't know anything at all regards the syndrome I increased all my negative symptoms. Since I was diagnosed celiac, at least I found all the answer which I need. As you stated, adhd, depression, chronic fatigue, brain fog disappeared. My sex drive became normal, my level of anxiety disappeared, my long memory and short memory became normal......but it still too late.
My hope is that one day these will be simple and routine tests done at birth and periodically at check ups. Genetic tests, antibody tests and other immunicological tests are catching up but there is still little awareness and virtually no proactive approach towards these things (from the modern medical field). There is so much suffering that could be avoided and/or alleviated.
Go gluten-free, it feels like a life changer after just 2 weeks on. There are alternatives, like rice waffles and stuff. Food will taste better and you will enjoy the benefits of it. I personally gained weight as well, which I was never able to do!
I normally eat pretty healthy; I am only three days into this gluten-free experiment and I am already feeling a massive difference. I was regularly eating a moderate amount of bread and pasta. I like that there are gluten free alternatives to satisfy these cravings. Some things I’ve noticed right away are: Improved mood, less brain fog, better sleep, and I feel lighter and less bloated. I am extremely excited about this, I cannot believe I didn’t try it sooner. A friend of mine just tried it herself and reports that all of her inflammation is gone which is what led to my trying it. Thanks for your video! This is awesome.
My aunt said she tested positive for intolerance. Grandpa was a farting zombie. And I am Now in the middle removing all of those very foods. Beer. Pasta. Bread. All my favourite foods bye bye... well Actually sushi is my favourite so it is ok. But I feel Soo happy and relieved. Also Diagnosed Adhd. It will be nice to see what happens
I think it’s the glyphosate that is the bigger culprit in gluten foods. Whatever it is I started to realize that gluten foods cause irritation, tears and peeling on my lips and I wonder if the same is happening in the intestines. Also makes my skin itch and I get very bloated. Physical symptoms are relatively minor but annoying. Definitely experienced a lifetime of the brain fog and anxiety, as well as joint issues more recently. Tried quitting gluten including all the foods I like for the past 2 years, “relapsing” many times, but I think I can do it this time because now I’m certain of my sensitivity and it’s worth it in the long run. Withdrawals and feeling like angry crap the first few days, mornings are miserable but I think the worst is past me. Fruit and sugar helps, I know sugar is a whole different monster but in the meantime it’s my gluten free crutch, I’ll give up the (refined) sugars next.
Hello. I think there are a couple of reasons gluten containing foods could trigger issues. As you said, glyphosate, for sure, also certain additives like bromine, synthetic iron; other ingredients like comercial yeast also could generate discomfort. Many people claim that bread and other foods in europe are way different from bread in USA. Sorry for my english
Well,I don’t have any choice as I’m celiac. I never eat gluten unless I’m accidentally glutened. 😩 Then I’m in real trouble. I don’t know that I feel that much better, but then it’s been years being GF I’d give anything to have real bread ( just once ) 🤷♀️A Vietnamese Banh Mi roll, would be my first choice, if I lost my celiac disease. I’m really happy for you to feel better off gluten, it’s really interesting. I enjoyed your story ,and I’ve subscribed. Thank you.
Wow I am so happy I came across this video. You’re testimony was super inspiring! I have been thinking about cutting gluten for a while now. For the sole purpose of losing my belly but now excited to reap the other benefits!
Hi Doctor Scott, how are you doing now? Hope all is well and your state of mind has stayed happy and contented. Please let us know and if other people have seen similar results to you!
Just started doing GF about a week or two ago and I have been feeling the same way. Chronic pains have diminished or disappeared, my energy is way up, my thinking is clearer and my anxieties have diminished. Kind of crazy how this ubiquitous protein may have been contributing so greatly to my myriad of issues
I can't write in english very well, so.... Nos últimos dois meses eu estava tentando perder peso, eliminando açúcar da minha dieta. Por coincidência, grande parte dos alimentos ricos em açúcar são justamente os que contém glúten. Após as primeiras duas semanas, passei a me sentir muito melhor, com mais disposição e pensamentos mais claros. Principalmente a forma clara de pensar foi o que mais me impressionou positivamente. Achei que fosse o efeito da perda de peso. Mas quando comi uma fatia de pizza, percebi que minha mente voltou ao estado anterior. Então comecei a pesquisar qual era a relação entre a fatia de pizza daquele dia e o meu funcionamento neurológico. Um dos locais onde vim parar foi justamente aqui. Fiquei muito grato por você compartilhar a sua experiência. Muito obrigado. Thank you.
Olá! Obrigado por seu depoimento? Continua na dieta sem glúten ou desistiu? Poderia escrever uma atualização? Pode ser em português. Se quiser, também te monstro umas ferramentas que vc pode instalar para escrever em inglês sem muita complicação.
Começando hoje, vou eliminar todo o gluten, açúcar e derivados de leite da dieta. Minha situação está deplorável em todos os aspectos e tenho certeza que a dieta é 90% dos meus problemas nesse momento.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience, it means more to me than just someone talking about it. When I was a little kid I recall an experience just like the one you described when referencing the movie “Limitless”. Through these many years I tried to remember what I ate. Now I know it might had been what I did NOT eat. For a while I debated if that incident was real or a dream...
I'm on my 10th day of giving up and its hell - i have the worst brain fog I've ever had, it's horrendous. My temper is real bad as well. Basically, I've had brain fog for 4 years, its ruined my life - cant get a job, forgot all my studies. Its got to the point now, its even effecting my dreams where I cant remember them anymore. I also cant eat dairy or soy, so I'm left with having the same food every day. 5 weeks ive read and the brain fog should start to clear, if Ive not done permanent damage over these 4 years. Thats my real worry, that I've done permanent damage, via brain inflammation, and I will never get a clear head and I will have increased the likelihood of getting dementia about 80% more.
The brain CAN repair itself! Research Dr. Amen's work. He does brain scans and always reiterates that it is not too late to get a healthy brain. I hope you are feeling better now!
I’m looking for inspo to go GF again for good. Gluten is hidden in so many things. I ate a jimmy johns unwhich yesterday and legit could barely walk...and that was with NO BREAD! The meats and cheese all have gluten 😫 I have inflammes brain so badly. If I eat gluten I have horrible anxiety& depression. Thanks for this video!!
Txs for sharing your experience, I knew recently that am the one with gluten intolerant because of am B+ blood type -anxiety, headache, breathing disorder, manisturial disorder, vision disorder, digestive problems, fever, joint pain, always feel asleep, lost of health problems doctors didn't identified, but I rade about my blood type diet and problem solved God saved me, I tell people-adjusted diet with blood type 👍👍👍
The reason I googled the subject and found this video is because, for about a week or two - I have been fasting a bit and cutting out bread, only for weight loss. I also have been waiting to get medication for my dyspraxia - which has symptons such as not able to focus, wandering mind etc. I have never even read a book from start to finish. Today I was trying to study something and I was reading, usually something would distract me ... but I was able to read and focus better than I have in years. I was wondering wtf was happening, so thought could it be the fact I have not been eating bread or gluten? Anyways.. I still have some weeks to go.. but if its true, I am never going back
i have been gluten free for last 3 days and from 2nd day onwards i'm feeling alot calm, its a big deal for me because i do have GAD! don't know whether this is some kind of placebo or not!
No is not, yesterday I was on my second day too and I felt calm and willing to enjoy life, then I took the protein powder ( with gluten, that I didn’t know it and I felt so bad few minutes later as he explain on 08:22) . So from yesterday’s when I took this powder protein till now it’s passed 24h and again feel much better, calm and positive, so yeah it’s not a placebo, gluten simply block l tryptophan that is important to generate serotonin. Gluten free and happy live peopleeee
I'm beginning to think that gluten is not for human consumption at all.... I'm 40 and I went gluten free begining of 2022 and I've been suicidal and in pain for as long as I can remember... since I stopped gluten my depression seems to be getring better I however now know that if I even attempt to eat something or not being careful, then the following days the cloud is back and my headaches chronic sneezing and the sh1ts 💩 is back
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm on day 3 of gluten and sugar free and already feel a difference, some people recommend cutting out dairy as well for adhd, did you also cut it out by chance?
What you should absolutely do is go to Aldi and buy 100% grass fed ground beef. Only eat that for three days with salt then after that only add one food back every 24 hours. You'll be shocked what you are reacting to. Probably any food with lectins
Still here! Did 5 weeks strict gluten free. Felt really unwell for most of it. Unfortunately didn't notice any positive effects. Lost a bit of weight maybe but I'm not fat anyway. Still sticking to no bread for now, gluten free pasta etc. Maybe I'll try giving up dairy next and hope that works!
Was never tested for celiac but did an experiment / a few actually / cause being gluten free can be a pain and I never really had the digestive issues But - in my case manifests as weak muscle tone / I can literally feel the muscles in my face droop and I have a sort of hypothyroid face that appears swollen and droopy My hair thins / I leave hair everywhere and am pulling strands of it out of my vacuum cleaner I am very headachy and just feel I can’t comprehend info fast enough or think fast enough And my hormones are off also Now when I go off gluten - within several days my face looks different, my eyes clear, my hair stops shedding, I can think more clearly and faster, I am less weepy and sad and my periods come like clockwork Now - if I could just stick w remaining gluten free But have just begun again and already feel as if the fog is lifting again May only be the placebo effect as it’s only been 24 hours really but I do feel much more rational in thought than I did yesterday and just overall calmer not having consumed any gluten in the last 24 hours Will need to just stick with it But to anyone who doesn’t have digestive probs but a whole host of other symptoms that just don’t seem to go away - just give it a go for a few weeks and see if you feel differently
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate hearing how your journey has been as a person with a gluten sensitivity 💕 I am starting to eliminate gluten for skin issues, wondering if I will have other benefits.

Same thing happened to me 14 years ago. Never looked back. Went from almost failing undergrad, sleeping 15 hours a night, anxious, depressed, apathetic, joint pains, sad/tearful, hopeless to now practicing as a physician!
I cut out gluten by myself I'm 15 and I used to be depressed all the time, decided to stop eating all gluten and a lot of issues vanished.
I will never eat wheat again
Good for you, that is incredible!!! Your comment is inspiring to me because I am so lost in life, always been depressed, anxious and different somehow, just trying to push through life. When I am in a good mood, I think about going back to school for a masters in counseling. I'm hoping a gluten free can give me the mindset to pursue my dreams. Best of luck on your journey.

Why don't you go in school to become a nutritionist?? to learn how to heal yourself and other people through nutrition.
yall need to tell yall diet
Back in the day schizophrenia was called bread madness - think about that, very telling.
Wow, very interesting. I had not heard of that. Another interesting topic and rabbit hole I need to investigate!
Or breadhead
Wow, really interesting
Rye can contain ergot fungus, which contains LSA - the natural precursor to LSD. The grains were imbued with psychoactive properties. They think that may have contributed to the salem witch trials
@Tiffany Thibodeau god I have to tell my brother this! he seems a lot better now but this could really help !
Its life changing. My wife says i am back to the man she fell in love with when we met 17years ago. Gluten made me so sick the last few years i had to give it up. Immediate results.
Did you also cut out oats?
I cannot thank you enough for this. About two weeks ago I started to cut gluten and I’ve never felt better in my life. I have so much energy, clear headed, and happy. I can’t believe it. I wish I would have known sooner but I’m happy to be here now.
hey gemma. how do you feel now? i just started this around 3 days ago.
@@OGAesthetics Hi! This has completely changed my life for the better. It has stabilized my mood and energy levels are consistent. Inflammation has decreased dramatically! Whenever I have gluten now, I notice an immediate change in mood, anxiety and inflammation. How do you feel so far?
@@gemmae4521 i have like 15 different symptoms that have just been getting worse the past 2 years. mainly feel like im developing alzheimer/dementia, chronic fatigue and like 4-5 different skin issues.
3 days in so far. feeling abit lighter today, better cognition and mood for sure. im hoping this just keeps improving day by day, i really hope this is it.
@@OGAesthetics I’m sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with those symptoms, I hope this is it for you too!
@@gemmae4521 have u seen other benefits after thoose initial 2 weeks? :) and how long did it take for you to notice anything?
I went grain free for about 5 days and people started commenting at how dark my hair was getting. Asking if I was dying it. I must have been unable to absorb nutrients which resulted in my hair fading in colour.
My social anxiety also almost completely vanishes. To the point I shock myself at how confident I become talking to anyone. It's like it's not me talking.
Depression goes away after 2 days. To the point I'm insanely happy. I just feel happy to do anything. I just feel like smiling all the time.
Can't wait to do this diet again. Don't know why I stopped. Highly recommend people to try going grain and caffeine free
Great video
Glad to hear!
I just started limiting wheat and gluten; have not even looked at ingredients yet just started about a week and a bit ago and feel much better. Less brain fog, depression, anxiety and joints feel better.
If just limiting has this effect I will continue to slowly cut out most gluten/wheat out of my diet as this is potentially life changing!
Interesting but why coffee?
@@MM-yy9us that's something I forgot about. I didn't even realise I had joint pain until I start this diet. I feel so light and fresh. Like I'm a kid again. Like I can just jump out of bed in the morning or run up and down the stairs
Are you still doing the diet?
@@mimi1girl2dempsey3 caffeine for me has many of the same effects as grains. Probably as its also very damaging to the gut. Makes me depressed anxious and angry all at the same time.
When I go grain free and still drinking coffee I don't feel the same benefits.
The more coffee I drink the more bloated my stomach looks. Still have joint pain. No motivation. Feel tired.
Gives me pain in my liver also. I can't honestly think of a benefit of consuming caffeine. Other than it makes people feel good as they're addicted to it or for a quick boost of energy. But energy can't just come from nowhere. Takes a toll on the body. You know something is bad if you get terrible withdrawal effects from eliminating it from your diet.
@@jamietorrance9074 Caffeine doesn't even give you energy, in broad terms, it just blocks the adenosine receptors so that there isn't any adenosine running in your system preventing you from feeling tired. Drinking water itself is significantly a better substitute compared to Caffeine which is unhealthy and is not necessary for humans.
This is crazy because I would describe to my friends "It feels like I'm the guy in Limitless" I was gluten free for about 6 months while doing fasting. It helped my depression and inflammation I had in my brain (Post Concussive Syndrome) then I thought I was fine and started eating bread again. Learned the hard way that it just was not worth it. Thanks for the video
What wanst worth it? Eating bread ?
Ive had friends say im manic :) Because I can go from thinking like 200% faster than normal and think 3-4 moves ahead in speech like face to face. I have to slow myself down all day because I can go off so fast and technical like 1.5 speed on youtube videos. And I can read and remember so much text and science studies and so on. But give me a pizza, 2 beers and 2 ice creams and im gone for like 2-3 days, slow, tired, no body energy, brain slow, like out of body experience. Like talking with customers and having to say like, im having a gluten attack and they mostly know what it is. A quick google and they know im not that crazy because they already know the "super" me. Gluten and lactose seems to be the problem. Just did a bloodtest and 23andme.com DNA to confirm
Just eat gluten free bread buddy
@@shockingcolor Nobody should eat any kind of bread even if it's gluten free, bread is not human food
same here
I went gluten free for 3 weeks now, and my brain fog is gone!
That's amazing! Happy to hear your newfound mental clarity and well being : ) Thanks for sharing with us!
How long before it was gone?
@@Charlie-eq3dj most likely instantly or after a day or so. You'll be surprised how fast it works
@@Charlie-eq3dj it's true, pretty much after 24 hours you see a difference
@@vvelvettearss 3 days here
I’ve been only five days gluten free and my digestive symptoms have gone away! I struggle so much with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder and headaches-I can’t believe a medical professional has never recommended this diet to me! I was so desperate for change and miserable I would have tried anything. So thankful to finally feel better ☀️
Are you still glutenfree? Did it turn out to be a fluke or are you still on it and feel better?
Oh I hope I get this relief. I'm excited to go forward with this.
I'm not surprised the medical profession never recommended this for you. I'm glad you're doing so much better. I am going to go gluten free. Tired of the depression, being tired, digestive issues etc.
Do you experience sleep disturbances?
I’m 22, my brain fog was that bad on gluten that I thought I was getting early onset Alzheimer’s, no joke. I couldn’t remember anything and my social ability was basically 0 I couldn’t have a conversation with anyone. Cut out gluten and after a week my head felt a lot more clear and I could start to be confident again in my memory and abilities. Gluten is a killer. I really miss pizza tho :(
heyy bravo so happy to hear that :) keep going. i am going through a similar situation brain fog , bad memory and fatigue. Now, is the 2nd day gluten free and already feel my brain more clear. Miss bread too but it worths the try
@@arrtisti the pros of a gluten free diet most definitely outweigh the cons, happy to hear!
What about trying cauliflower pizza?
u still feel good bro? im dealing with the same issue. cant talk to anyone really my brain doesnt work. had gluten yesterday and honestly feeling super depressed today
Omg i experience exactly the same thing i get youuu and pizza is my fav food too 😩😩
I have been miserable for almost 3 years with exteme depression, a couple bad panic attacks, anxiety almost constantly, high heart rate, binge eating, etc. I have been gluten free for a week and all of it is GONE. and no cravings, it’s crazy how food will do this! i never will go back to gluten 🧐
I hope your still going gluten-free and feeling better!
How are you doing so far?
@@Fakestockguru Been back and forth eating gluten but will be restarting tomorrow!
That's crazy I'm suffering 3.5 years from mental health issues I wonder how gluten free can change it
@@BizKit167 OH i will update you - two weeks ago i changed to a gluten free / plant based (vegan diet) and boy it’s amazing for my mental, physical, etc! I have NO reactions , no downs after eating, no low moments - 100% best decision ever!
I'm 9 months gluten free. Changed my life for good. I had intestinal problems + all of the symptoms mentioned above in video. I strongly suggest: go gluten free!
If only doctors suggested diet change toward depression healing, not antidepressants!!
Doctors are drug salesman, nothing more then that. They have no nutritional science education and it was set up that way to keep them in the dark. A lot of evil people out there, watch what you put into your delicate insides.
I agree
They don’t make money that way unfortunately
It gives me hope that you posted this video 🙂. I was 54 when a brilliant psychiatrist suggested that I eliminate gluten. I have some permanent balance issues, it’s important for people to start eliminating gluten at younger ages. It’s been a miracle.
I am 25 years old .
Diagnosed with ADHD since age 8.
Througout ny life had symptoms of stomache aches and other stomache issues.
I naturally had celiac test that came out negative and was diagnosed with irritable bowl syndrom.
The past year I had experieced symptoms of Joint pains in both knees and elbows.
Depressions, anxiety .
I have had phases of muscle tingelibg and uncontrolled jumps
Fatigue and brain fogs and ofc the regular stomache aches .
I am about to embark on a glouten free journy , hoping I can let all thoes things go.
Today was the day where I couldnt take it anymore and came across the gluten intolerance non celiac articles in which shockingly I could check 7/ 8 symptom boxes.
Thanks for the video !
I didn't test positive for celiac, but my latest blood tests showed me having an allergy to gluten and wheat flour. The odd thing is I took such tests three years ago and didn't show up. It's tough to know what's going on when you have IBS. I haven't had gluten and dairy for about 5 weeks. I have also been drinking celery juice every day for about a month. I also make gluten free pancakes that are very nutritious and feed good bacteria. I just wish I could go out and eat with friends. I am not there yet.
@@Bazza5000 and do you feel better since going gluten free? If may I ask
@@mrcroco5121 In my case, I think so, but that's because I have IBS and for many suffering from that it's best to keep away from gluten for a while, at least. If you're going to consume gluten, then wait some months and take special enzymes along if you feel you have to have a pizza with friends. I am also avoiding spicy food as much as possible. I am also holding off on having dairy until my gut is much stronger.
@@Bazza5000 thanks for the advice !
@@mrcroco5121 I have had ADHD since I was a kid, as well. You should take a multi-faceted approach for your problem. And there's no one size fits all. Most people with ADHD, autism, and other things supposedly have gut issues. You could gradually do many things like intermittent fasting. If you're having trouble sleeping and allergies, then reduce histamine causing foods and liberators. Histamine levels going up can also lead to brain fog. People dealing with histamine issues at least temporarily cut out dairy, gluten, oranges. You have to research and look at your symptoms.
I just went 2 days without gluten and last night I had insomnia and went to a job interview on only 4 hours sleep...normally i cant even get out of bed after 9 hours sleep. Had no idea gluten caused psychological issues I'm so excited to find this information (bioplar-ish, ADHD person here)
Keep going. It gets better and better
So avoiding gluten gave you insomnia?
Same here. Did your insomnia go away?
I quit bread 7 days ago and I have so much energy and my mind is clear! I’m seriously going to try going completely gluten free and see what happens. I feel amazing already just from not eating any bread!
I love that you described it as like the movie "Limitless" because this is exactly what I was just thinking. Since getting rid of gluten from my diet for only 3 days it feels like a fog has lifted and I am suddenly happy and am getting some great ideas/inspiration/motivation and energy. It is so bizarre. I am very excited. Thank you for reiterating exactly how this feels to me.
Omg I hope this happens for me
How are u now?
All what you said in this video is true man because i went through the same experience. I felt my mind limiteless
Your so cute 😉
Dude, it's like you read my mind. Everything you said in this video echo's my own thoughts. How I felt both before and after going wheat free. If only I'd known at a younger age. I might be a completely different person today. The mental clarity I have now is unbelievable.
Its totally been changing my life as well. I was prescribed anti depressants and adderall throughout high school and I didn't know why I felt un focused and tired all the time, always over weight no matter how hard I dieted or what I tried ! Thank you for sharing.
Wow. This is definitely a sign; I was recently (2 weeks ago) diagnosed with severe depression, severe anxiety, and adhd. I had recently been complaining on reddit about Brian fog, lethargy, fatigue, and just overall slowness, while I hadn’t always been that way. I was prescribed venlafaxine for the depression and anxiety but it made me feel unlike myself so I stopped after the first week (no withdrawal symptoms thank God). I had recently heard about gluten as a cause but I was hesitant to try. I guess I’ll be joining the team now! Awesome video and Also, thank you for the free ebook ❤️❤️
Kay Pee how are you now?
Kay Pee have you been sticking to gluten free? Hope your feeling better
It could also be a problem with histamines. It's not necessarily gluten that leads to brain fog.
Gluten is shit. Really, it is.
I agree with what you said man. I stopped 2 days ago. I cut it completely. What happened the next day was astounding. I felt the cloud you were talking about....it does feel like it doesn't exist anymore
Thank u so much for sharing Dr. ! I’m officially giving up gluten, it’s been a week and I already feel more clear and energized. I wish I would’ve done this sooner. I’m sure that gluten was the problem since I was a little kid. Now that I think about it, I use to cry every morning because I woke up feeling depressed and I still have morning depression but as an adult, I don’t cry, I stay in bed. I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with me, I thought it could be hormones changing now that I’m in my thirties. I took a food sensitivity blood test and waiting on results
Same here and now I’m 46 and left gluten sinds a week now and already feel sooo much beter .
So you guys experience sleep disturbances?
I watched this video because I’m in search of alleviating my ADHD symptoms. I tried eliminating gluten before, and on day 3 I felt manic, too! I also felt like it was all in my head. But I couldn’t deny that I was in a great mood and felt so good. I fell off the wagon after a few weeks, but I’m definitely going to give it another shot as I just graduated college. Thanks so much for this!!
Yes! Give it another try! Best of luck and thank you for your comment : )
Thank you. This helps explain my condition to people who are so ignorant and intolerant and don't understand my sensitivity and think I'm just making it up.
This is what happened to me too irl
Definitely starting this journey. Never considered I'd be person who needed to go gluten free until I started researching what it does for people with anxiety, depression, ADHD and thyroid and immune disease. Hoping it dramatically changes my life like it did yours. Thanks for the video
Any updates
Hey Scott, compared to other TH-cam doc channels and creators discussing this stuff, I really appreciate your straightforward and honest approach. Talking like you do in real life makes it one of the best ways to get the info across. Thanks a bunch, mate!
I’m almost 40 found out when u was 38. The brain fog, the pain, the gut issues, the inflammation of joints the depression, anxiety, and just not feeling normal. I’m so glad it’s going sad to say but if you have this issue, life did not feel like it’s worth living with it. Now I’m back to my old self and I feel amazing. It’s only been a little more than a year, but I can’t believe how long I suffered. I can go on it on about the symptoms. I actually can’t eat a whole meal without being doubled over with pain. Thank you God! you really have to do your own research because a lot of doctors will dismiss you as for me. My blood test came back negative but my stomach culture was positive so don’t believe it when they tell you you were negative by blood because your stomach could be positive.
I had to go gluten free but it honestly changed my LIFE
22 years of suffering and not knowing why
Yes, it is terrible to suffer without any knowledge or control over the underlying cause. For some, it can create quite a storm and cycle of self-blame and shame in addition to the already disruptive consequences it produces throughout the fabric of our lives. I'm glad you found the information you needed to make the dietary adjustment and profoundly change your life. The process of becoming self-aware, informed, and willing to initiate (often difficult) changes for our future betterment is not an easy one but one abundantly worth it. Thank you for sharing!
I’m about to give a gluten free diet a try in an attempt to help alleviate a panic disorder that came on out of nowhere about five years ago. I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to gluten being one of the culprits. I eat a lot of Asian food and notice when I consume soy sauce or tofu too much my anxiety is much worse. This video was helpful. Thanks!
Ryan Yousefi how are you now?
Ryan, your issue is probably a histamine issue, not gluten per se. You have to deal with your histamine problem.
not a nutritionist but im pretty sure soy got no gluten
90% of soy crops worldwide are GM.
Genetically laced with pesticide. Same as Canola.
Corns too.
Could be preservatives too.
I have hashimotos thyroiditis and I feel like a different person when I don't eat gluten. My doctor said I should never eat gluten with my condition
Yeah, going gluten-free has gotten rid of my lifelong anxiety and depression, as well as other adverse physical health issues that was caused by gluten.
My brother-in-law has Crones disease and he has significantly improved his quality of life going paleo/gluten-free. I've recently gone that path in the past 30 days and oh boy have I seen positive changes going on in my body.
That's great to hear about your brother's results and yours as well. It's amazing how such a simple diet change can have a profound transformative effect on your life! Stick with it, your gut will heal more and more as you remain gluten/grain-free and the positive health benefits will continue.
Doctor Scott Health Hello dr. Scott. I have brain fog, depression and I’m not socializing very well. And I decided to go gluten free. How long did it take for you to feel this effect and be relived?
Honestly I believe this to be true. My son suffered from seizures and once we removed gluten AND food colouring, supplemented with on omega 3 high EPA fish oil, he was healed. It was a miracle and I thank God everyday. Thanks Doc for sharing your experience!
Thank you for this video! I stopped eating gluten and i feel like a normal person and that limitless feeling you are talking about. But for years I’ve been suffering from all those systems you were talking about and it cause drama with friends and family because of my emotions being all over the place.
I'm starting to think that alot of peoples issues could be stemming from a intolerance of gluten. Theres people on the celiac website online saying they literally went 15 years with anxiety, depression, ocd and then stopped eating gluten and it pretty much disappeared over night
It’s crazy, that’s what I’m experiencing at the moment. Still can’t believe that all those health issues that I ve been trying to treat separately: anxiety, digestion problems, even muscle aches and more; all of that had the same cause.
Over night? I think it takes some time for your body to clean from the gluten and it's takes some time until you actually feel better. I don't think over night
@@BizKit167Yes I also wonder about this. It cant be over night. Mabe for some but for others how long? Before the mind and body is «healed»?
Over night? Not for me unfortunately... I've been grain frew for a week and no changes so far...
My first experience of feeling well happened during a fast for a colonoscopy test. The three days without food cleared my depression and IBS. I was feeling great for a few weeks after that but reversed to my old depressed and crazy self. I didn't think that wheat was the culprit at the time. Now I'm down to one meal a day and gluten free. I feel great and my weight is under control without much effort. If I cheat, I can't stop eating wheat afterward. I'm like an alcoholic but for wheat. So it's either none at all or abuse.
But also thank you for being so open and honest with your past struggles and how this is radically helped you I think this is going to change the mental health game dramatically.... It has even helped people I love that have symptoms associated with autism.
You are awesome keep it up thank you for doing what you do
Very well spoken, I'm starting today no turning back 💪🏾
I like your story because it's like mine. Practically the same.
At the beginning of giving up gluten I became foggy free brain after two weeks and I just couldn't believe it because I have been trying hard my whole life to think clearly.
Now I don't stop shearing my experience to all I want and love, even though the majority is relactan to believe it.
Thanks for shearing your change in life.
Hola! ¿Sigues sin ingerir gluten? ¿Se mantienen los resultados a largo plazo?
Dude, really kind of you and brave to share your experience here, I'm going to be starting gluten free today over the next month to see how it will affect overall mood and motivation for work, you're helping loads of people with this! Thanks
Heart palpitations! I lived the last 4 years with heart palpitations and no one could find the answer. I also have excruciating pain in my joints, blurry vision, bloating, inflammation, anxiety and sleeping problems 😮
Sounds like a autoimmunity problem. I got all the above after covid 2020 Feb. Probably vasculitis...
I improve with fasting, grain free, seed oil free. Peter Osborne helped me a lot.
All the best from Romania ❣️
May i ask if your heart palpitations were worse after meals and especially if it was gluten heavy?
@@katec2630 my heart palpitations yes got worse after a heavy carb and gluten meal. Also food sensitivity was another cause. I have histamine intolerance. I think what caused mine was antibiotics. I stopped eating gluten a month ago and it was no better. So, last week I started taking Culturelle digestive probiotics for woman and after a few days I’m fine. Even the inflammation in my legs got better. Hard to believe but true. Had gluten again with no problems. But tomorrow I’m starting a raw fruit and vegetable fast to reset my gut. I still can’t believe how much better I feel after suffering all these years taking these probiotics. It’s amazing.
@@gabigabriela2802 thank you dear! I’m going on a fast tomorrow ❤️
My eyes itch, my nose gets blocked then so does my throat. Ive been put on a gluten free diet by a functional nutritionist. Im on day three. Never eating the stuff again. I like breathing more than pizza.
Been off gluten for under 2 weeks and I can’t BELIEVE how much better I feel.. like really it’s unbelievable
This is what is so mind boggling to me: I have taken anti-depressants meds for anxiety for over 20 years. They never really worked but I was scared to stop taking them. It took three or four days of not eating gluten and the dark cloud of depression has lifted. I got lazy last week with family in town and "treated myself" to pizza, cake, pasta, bread etc. and my depression came roaring back. Again - three days off gluten and I feel good again. I can't believe I've suffered so long barely able to work, house a mess, relationship issues, and the thing to cure me was not eating wheat. If you're curious I have not given up my anti-depressants yet. Maybe someday soon though. Also, I still eat pizza without eating the crust, and possibly a wheat cracker here and there...I don't treat myself like a Celiac who can't have even a crumb of bread, cake, etc.....but definitely have VERY few wheat-containing products. Side note: Why didn't my psychiatrist recommend gluten-free instead of simply prescribing pills which never seemed to work? I think we all know the answer to that. ($$$$)
Thank you for commenting. I needed to read this. ❤️
@@user-ajp-4891 I hope it helps you or someone you love. I've heard wheat causes inflammation in the whole body, including the brain.
@@user-ajp-4891 Let me know how it goes for you if you stop eating gluten. It's not as difficult as you think, once you get used to it!
@@oneofthosecreativetypes24 I kind of already stopped by the time I saw this video and your post. I was wondering why I hadn’t had a hidradentitis supprativa flare up. (I’m sure I butchered the spelling of that, but it’s close 😂.) I also wondered why I could eat a cup of cooked rice before bed and not sweat in the middle of the night but pasta would have my bed sheets drenched. Just a few changes and I realized what it was. It’s funny that different types of wheat do me differently. Like a tortilla vs a burger bun vs pasta vs fried foods. They all mess me up in different ways. I quit the pasta first because I prefer rice, rice noodles, and glass noodles over wheat pasta. They also made me feel the worse. So I thought. Like you, I had a sort of a relapse 😅 and ate some fried food and my goodness! I realized I had been suffering with IBS for over 3 decades and just got used to the pain. And the thing is, my mother took me to the doctor when I was a child about the HS boils and the IBS issues I was having and they just shrugged me off when they couldn’t figure out anything. I was so used to suffering in not just what I’ve mentioned here, but in other ways too, that I just trudged on. I’ve been trying to heal myself as I’m sure there is just a hamster wheel of sickness, medical bills, and big pharma trying to keep us all depressed and destitute. The peace of mind and clarity that has come with knowing that I don’t have to suffer with HS anymore is beyond refreshing. I’ve never had a real relationship because I was so embarrassed they may think I have an STD. All because of WHEAT! I’m going to cure my gut with fermented foods and hopefully find a husband and have some kids within the next decade.
It took me 44 yrs and I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity while undergoing an upper and a lower scope due to GI symptoms and acid reflux. In May 2019 I got the diagnosis but for some odd reason I didn’t stop the gluten diet. Now that I had been doing intermittent fasting for about seven days and had cut down a lot of wheat I feel that brain fog is lifting and my joints are better and I started loosing weight. It feels like when I was 17 yrs old going to play tennis
That's amazing! Glad to hear of such profound positive changes!
I must admit, even after being a week gluten free, I am definitely less tired, I have energy and the best thing is, as someone who struggles with boredom eating, I honestly do not feel like snacking or eating junk food. I’m definitely feeling so much better than what I was a week ago and I’m hoping this can be a long term thing
Any updates
My toddler is gluten intolerant, I have ADHD & I think I'm going to give it a go you know! I follow the diet for my daughter anyway.
I changed my life just with cutting any grain products with gluten. Only buckwheat (not a real grain) made it for me. Since I stopped eating grain like bred, pizza, pasta I feel so much better especially after getting up in the morning. I don’t look tired, my skin and Teint got better from day to day. ❤
Thank you! Spread the word! I figured it out for myself but I know so many people with depression and anxiety who are very addicted to gluten! I wish they would try it for just one week!
I recently had to broaden my diet before testing and I got a rush of anxiety from the gluten. It took about a week for it to go away! It also very seriously messed with my hormones! I’m so glad to be back to ketovore! I feel normal and healthy again!
Also people need to know gluten is stored cumulatively and does not go away for 6 months.
The brain fog and need to use the bathroom immediately after eating has been with me all my 48 years. In the few years it’s gotten a lot worse. This is all making sense!
Update?
I've started a gluten free diet a few days ago as I experience anxiety, low energy, brain fog, rumination, etc.. and it's always been in waves and most of the time there's no real reason behind why I'd be feeling this way and then I heard about how gluten affects our mental health so hopefully soon I can see the real benefits of going gluten free
Bravo you just helped a lot people. bTW you also just spoke the story of every symptomatic undiagnosed Celiac. The Gliadin protein is fascinating!
Wow, finally a breakdown of what my body has been contending with. Very informative about the protein/gut/antigen war. Thank you for this!
I love the improvement in brain fog and joint pain, but I didn't need weight loss. I've lost foods that maintained my weight.
I had a concussion back in 2013 and it lasted about a year and a half.
I've had so many doctor's visits in regards to my brain fog that I can't even count. For the longest time, I thought it was the concussion symptoms and accepted the harsh reality. Fast forward to 2020, I had brain fog for several months and later found out that pollen was the reason (now that I think about it, it could've been gluten since I was eating pretty healthy too). Now, it is back again and I am suspecting that it is and was gluten all these years.
I'm going to cut gluten for a few months and see if I will finally become free of brain fog.
I'll be back with updates
how u feeling?
@@OGAesthetics Still the same tbh
I'm doing blood work and allergy testing soon so hopefully that'll help me pinpoint it. Hbu?
@@AssyrianKing4ever give it some more time! atleast a week or two :D i had my last bite of gluten yesterday. well, gluten and a bunch of sugar. and i have had so bad anxiety all day today, especially this morning. but every hour or so that passes im feeling better, "detoxing" the shit out of my body lol. day 1 no gluten today
@@OGAesthetics Got it! I'm staying hopeful.
Good luck to you!
Basically look up Brain Inflammation and start to cross off the possible causes. I also get a 2000 item food alergy test every 4 months and build a diet around that. Plenty online for £40.
I relate to your post but I was really unlucky. I tried to get tested several time in 2015, 2016. All result came back negative and since I didn't know anything at all regards the syndrome I increased all my negative symptoms. Since I was diagnosed celiac, at least I found all the answer which I need. As you stated, adhd, depression, chronic fatigue, brain fog disappeared. My sex drive became normal, my level of anxiety disappeared, my long memory and short memory became normal......but it still too late.
My hope is that one day these will be simple and routine tests done at birth and periodically at check ups. Genetic tests, antibody tests and other immunicological tests are catching up but there is still little awareness and virtually no proactive approach towards these things (from the modern medical field). There is so much suffering that could be avoided and/or alleviated.
Whats still too late? You are normal now? I'd be happy as fuck if I was you.
Go gluten-free, it feels like a life changer after just 2 weeks on. There are alternatives, like rice waffles and stuff. Food will taste better and you will enjoy the benefits of it. I personally gained weight as well, which I was never able to do!
Appreciate you sharing this journey. Excited to try 30 days without gluten 😆
Changed my life too. ❤
I normally eat pretty healthy; I am only three days into this gluten-free experiment and I am already feeling a massive difference. I was regularly eating a moderate amount of bread and pasta. I like that there are gluten free alternatives to satisfy these cravings.
Some things I’ve noticed right away are: Improved mood, less brain fog, better sleep, and I feel lighter and less bloated. I am extremely excited about this, I cannot believe I didn’t try it sooner. A friend of mine just tried it herself and reports that all of her inflammation is gone which is what led to my trying it.
Thanks for your video! This is awesome.
Covid and or the vaccine has triggered celiac disease in many people. You can look this up
Oh baby..it is for everybody 💙
My aunt said she tested positive for intolerance.
Grandpa was a farting zombie.
And I am
Now in the middle removing all of those very foods. Beer. Pasta. Bread. All my favourite foods bye bye... well
Actually sushi is my favourite so it is ok.
But I feel
Soo happy and relieved. Also Diagnosed Adhd. It will be nice to see what happens
I think it’s the glyphosate that is the bigger culprit in gluten foods. Whatever it is I started to realize that gluten foods cause irritation, tears and peeling on my lips and I wonder if the same is happening in the intestines. Also makes my skin itch and I get very bloated. Physical symptoms are relatively minor but annoying. Definitely experienced a lifetime of the brain fog and anxiety, as well as joint issues more recently. Tried quitting gluten including all the foods I like for the past 2 years, “relapsing” many times, but I think I can do it this time because now I’m certain of my sensitivity and it’s worth it in the long run. Withdrawals and feeling like angry crap the first few days, mornings are miserable but I think the worst is past me. Fruit and sugar helps, I know sugar is a whole different monster but in the meantime it’s my gluten free crutch, I’ll give up the (refined) sugars next.
Hello. I think there are a couple of reasons gluten containing foods could trigger issues. As you said, glyphosate, for sure, also certain additives like bromine, synthetic iron; other ingredients like comercial yeast also could generate discomfort. Many people claim that bread and other foods in europe are way different from bread in USA. Sorry for my english
Well,I don’t have any choice as I’m celiac. I never eat gluten unless I’m accidentally glutened. 😩 Then I’m in real trouble. I don’t know that I feel that much better, but then it’s been years being GF
I’d give anything to have real bread ( just once ) 🤷♀️A Vietnamese Banh Mi roll, would be my first choice, if I lost my celiac disease. I’m really happy for you to feel better off gluten, it’s really interesting. I enjoyed your story ,and I’ve subscribed. Thank you.
When you accidentally eat gluten what symptoms do you have and how long do they last for?
Cutting out gluten today!! And grains too I am hoping
Wow I am so happy I came across this video. You’re testimony was super inspiring! I have been thinking about cutting gluten for a while now. For the sole purpose of losing my belly but now excited to reap the other benefits!
Hi Doctor Scott, how are you doing now? Hope all is well and your state of mind has stayed happy and contented. Please let us know and if other people have seen similar results to you!
Just started doing GF about a week or two ago and I have been feeling the same way. Chronic pains have diminished or disappeared, my energy is way up, my thinking is clearer and my anxieties have diminished. Kind of crazy how this ubiquitous protein may have been contributing so greatly to my myriad of issues
I can't write in english very well, so....
Nos últimos dois meses eu estava tentando perder peso, eliminando açúcar da minha dieta. Por coincidência, grande parte dos alimentos ricos em açúcar são justamente os que contém glúten. Após as primeiras duas semanas, passei a me sentir muito melhor, com mais disposição e pensamentos mais claros. Principalmente a forma clara de pensar foi o que mais me impressionou positivamente. Achei que fosse o efeito da perda de peso. Mas quando comi uma fatia de pizza, percebi que minha mente voltou ao estado anterior. Então comecei a pesquisar qual era a relação entre a fatia de pizza daquele dia e o meu funcionamento neurológico. Um dos locais onde vim parar foi justamente aqui. Fiquei muito grato por você compartilhar a sua experiência. Muito obrigado. Thank you.
Você está no caminho certo, parabéns!
Quanto ao inglês,pratique diariamente,assim você conseguirá (eventualmente) melhorar!
Olá! Obrigado por seu depoimento? Continua na dieta sem glúten ou desistiu? Poderia escrever uma atualização? Pode ser em português. Se quiser, também te monstro umas ferramentas que vc pode instalar para escrever em inglês sem muita complicação.
@@Espanholitos espanhol?
@@valuetainer3437 Olá. O idioma? Sou espanhol e brasileiro. Não entendi muito bem. Na verdade, nem lembrava de meu comentário aqui.
Começando hoje, vou eliminar todo o gluten, açúcar e derivados de leite da dieta.
Minha situação está deplorável em todos os aspectos e tenho certeza que a dieta é 90% dos meus problemas nesse momento.
Excellent video thanks
Fuck it, I'm trying this.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience, it means more to me than just someone talking about it. When I was a little kid I recall an experience just like the one you described when referencing the movie “Limitless”. Through these many years I tried to remember what I ate. Now I know it might had been what I did NOT eat. For a while I debated if that incident was real or a dream...
Awesome video, this is literally the exact same thing that happened to me.
I'm on my 10th day of giving up and its hell - i have the worst brain fog I've ever had, it's horrendous. My temper is real bad as well. Basically, I've had brain fog for 4 years, its ruined my life - cant get a job, forgot all my studies. Its got to the point now, its even effecting my dreams where I cant remember them anymore. I also cant eat dairy or soy, so I'm left with having the same food every day. 5 weeks ive read and the brain fog should start to clear, if Ive not done permanent damage over these 4 years. Thats my real worry, that I've done permanent damage, via brain inflammation, and I will never get a clear head and I will have increased the likelihood of getting dementia about 80% more.
Hey I hope you're doing ok. Can you give me an update on if you're still doing gluten free and how you are feeling if you are.
The brain CAN repair itself! Research Dr. Amen's work. He does brain scans and always reiterates that it is not too late to get a healthy brain. I hope you are feeling better now!
Hindered my college mathematics while I was having to work take care of mom.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! How are you doing today? Are you still on a gluten free diet?
Thanks
Thank you for sharing.
This is great, thanks for sharing.
I just want my joints to endlessly stop hurting, I can't even comfortably exercise, never thought celiac/gluten would cause joint pain.
Thank you sharing, I am working on this journey
You are absolutely correct about the damaging effects of glutens in wheat, rye, & barley. I wished I knew about this years ago.
I’m looking for inspo to go GF again for good.
Gluten is hidden in so many things.
I ate a jimmy johns unwhich yesterday and legit could barely walk...and that was with NO BREAD! The meats and cheese all have gluten 😫
I have inflammes brain so badly. If I eat gluten I have horrible anxiety& depression.
Thanks for this video!!
Same, it just started this year as I’m nearing 28 years old.
@@workgambit906 that’s how old I was when I got sick!
I was 27 turning 28 my world was rocked.
Best of luck!
Txs for sharing your experience, I knew recently that am the one with gluten intolerant because of am B+ blood type -anxiety, headache, breathing disorder, manisturial disorder, vision disorder, digestive problems, fever, joint pain, always feel asleep, lost of health problems doctors didn't identified, but I rade about my blood type diet and problem solved God saved me, I tell people-adjusted diet with blood type 👍👍👍
I realize want to try.
How to start?
The reason I googled the subject and found this video is because, for about a week or two - I have been fasting a bit and cutting out bread, only for weight loss. I also have been waiting to get medication for my dyspraxia - which has symptons such as not able to focus, wandering mind etc. I have never even read a book from start to finish. Today I was trying to study something and I was reading, usually something would distract me ... but I was able to read and focus better than I have in years. I was wondering wtf was happening, so thought could it be the fact I have not been eating bread or gluten? Anyways.. I still have some weeks to go.. but if its true, I am never going back
i have been gluten free for last 3 days and from 2nd day onwards i'm feeling alot calm, its a big deal for me because i do have GAD! don't know whether this is some kind of placebo or not!
No is not, yesterday I was on my second day too and I felt calm and willing to enjoy life, then I took the protein powder ( with gluten, that I didn’t know it and I felt so bad few minutes later as he explain on 08:22) . So from yesterday’s when I took this powder protein till now it’s passed 24h and again feel much better, calm and positive, so yeah it’s not a placebo, gluten simply block l tryptophan that is important to generate serotonin. Gluten free and happy live peopleeee
Is there anyone with fibromyalgia,tmj, myofascia pain that's tried this? Just curious of experiances.
I'm beginning to think that gluten is not for human consumption at all.... I'm 40 and I went gluten free begining of 2022 and I've been suicidal and in pain for as long as I can remember... since I stopped gluten my depression seems to be getring better I however now know that if I even attempt to eat something or not being careful, then the following days the cloud is back and my headaches chronic sneezing and the sh1ts 💩 is back
Many thanks.
Thank you! just thank you!
My pleasure!
How do I stick to the diet , when my family isn’t gluten free
Help
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm on day 3 of gluten and sugar free and already feel a difference, some people recommend cutting out dairy as well for adhd, did you also cut it out by chance?
What you should absolutely do is go to Aldi and buy 100% grass fed ground beef. Only eat that for three days with salt then after that only add one food back every 24 hours. You'll be shocked what you are reacting to. Probably any food with lectins
Very very informative!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Very informative thanks. I feel like an absolute piece of shit right now and have done for years. Brain fog is intense. Defo gunna give it a good try
Are you still with us
Still here! Did 5 weeks strict gluten free. Felt really unwell for most of it. Unfortunately didn't notice any positive effects. Lost a bit of weight maybe but I'm not fat anyway. Still sticking to no bread for now, gluten free pasta etc. Maybe I'll try giving up dairy next and hope that works!
Was never tested for celiac but did an experiment / a few actually / cause being gluten free can be a pain and I never really had the digestive issues
But - in my case manifests as weak muscle tone / I can literally feel the muscles in my face droop and I have a sort of hypothyroid face that appears swollen and droopy
My hair thins / I leave hair everywhere and am pulling strands of it out of my vacuum cleaner
I am very headachy and just feel I can’t comprehend info fast enough or think fast enough
And my hormones are off also
Now when I go off gluten - within several days my face looks different, my eyes clear, my hair stops shedding, I can think more clearly and faster, I am less weepy and sad and my periods come like clockwork
Now - if I could just stick w remaining gluten free
But have just begun again and already feel as if the fog is lifting again
May only be the placebo effect as it’s only been 24 hours really but I do feel much more rational in thought than I did yesterday and just overall calmer not having consumed any gluten in the last 24 hours
Will need to just stick with it
But to anyone who doesn’t have digestive probs but a whole host of other symptoms that just don’t seem to go away - just give it a go for a few weeks and see if you feel differently
Thankyou so much, on day 4 gluten free, its horrible
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate hearing how your journey has been as a person with a gluten sensitivity 💕 I am starting to eliminate gluten for skin issues, wondering if I will have other benefits.
I hope so! Have you started yet? Please share your results and experience here with us : )
