Hi friends. There was on overwhelming response to my query. Thank you so much.
    I received four messages regarding celiacs who were also diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, and in each, definite behavioral changes were noted when the person - including children and adults - followed the gluten free diet, as opposed to times when each inadvertantly strayed from the g/f diet. A positive behavioral change was also noticed and verified by a practicing school psychologist.
    I also received confirmation from a couple of people who wrote that even though their loved one hadn't been diagnosed with either ADD or ADHD, a noticeable change in behavior occurred if the person did not strictly follow the g/f diet.
    I was also directed to a couple of studies done on the subject, and I will explore these in greater depth in the near future. For your information, here are a couple of the suggested web sites. (One e-mail listed way too many to list here.)

www.nih.gov, 

    In addition to these sites, I was told that a Dr. Peter Green of Columbia-Presbyterian in NYC also discusses this topic in his lectures.
    One person suggest I read the book "Dangerous Grains", by Dr. Braley.
    That's it for now. If I find anything more scientifically specific, I will post it.
