Gluten reactions can cause profound depression.  The last time I had a
gluten accident, I was consumed with feelings of doom & a desire to die.
I wept for several days.  Not fun.  BUT, gluten is not the only food that
can cause a depressive reaction.  In fact, my ear, nose & throat
specialist said depression can be a subtle symptom of any food allergy or
intolerance.  Food allergy symptoms can also manifest in other mood &
brain symptoms such as rage, fog, confusion, even hallucinations in
extreme cases.  That has been my  experience exactly.  Milk, for example,
causes feelings of rage & anger in my eldest son & me.  My youngest son
gets super anxious & turns into a motor mouth when he consumes milk.

Wheat intolerance is one of the most common allergies/intolerances in the
western world.  I believe that is one of the big reasons why low carb,
Atkins-type diets are so successful.  These diets not only control blood
sugars & help people lose excess pounds, but they also promote a feeling
of well being because they restrict gluten.
