as i was doing research on an unrelated subject, i found the following
abstract of a study done which strongly suggests that many psychiatric
may be gluten-intolerant-based. i've included the reference in case
anyone is interested in looking into this further.

Vlissides, Dimitrios N., et al.  "A double-blind gluten-free/gluten-load
controlled trial in a secure ward population."  BRITISH JOURNAL OF
PSYCHIATRY.
1986 Apr Vol 148 447-452. ISSN 00071250

A double-blind control trial of gluten-free vs a gluten-containing diet
was carried out in a ward of a maximum security hospital: 22 male
patients (aged 23-59 yrs) were studied for 14 wks. Most suffered from
psychotic disorders, particularly schizophrenia. Various dimensions of
behavior were rated on the Psychotic Inpatient Profile (PIP) at
different stages. There were beneficial changes in the whole group of
Ss between pretrial and gluten-free period in 5 dimensions of the PIP,
maintained during the gluten challenge period; these changes could be
attributed to the attention the Ss received. Two Ss improved during the
gluten-free period and relapsed when the gluten diet was reintroduced.
