I am always so overwhelmed with the generosity of this group. I tried to send a personal thank you to each one who responded. If I missed anyone thank you so much for your help.
I asked for information on the connection between celiac and schizophrenia. These are the responses I received

I've copied those two sites from the Facebook group Gluten Free Planet. The second is a book just released by
Dr. Ford.

I don't have research for you, but I can tell you that my daughter
exhibited behaviors and emotions that looked a lot like autism or childhood
schizophrenia before she was diagnosed. She was very young (less than
three) and the symptoms were sporadic, but marked. I am a licensed
clinician (clinical social worker), not a casual observer. Her behavior and
emotional stability first took a rapid turn for the worse when she went gf,
then after about one month showed remarkable improvement. Her emotional
health was the first sign of improvement we saw - it took many more months
for her gi system to recover, and then she finally resumed growing.

My depression and brain fog totally disappeared with a very strict gluten free diet. I do not have celiac disease. I have gluten sensitivity. That is not what you asked but it is a brain problem related to gluten.

There are thousands of studies and research on that topic. Here are a couple of the research papers and their findings for you: When the cause of a neurological disease is known, the percentage of those patients with elevated antibodies to gluten is 5%. When the cause of a neurological disease is unknown, the percentage of those patients with elevated antibodies to gluten is 57%.J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2002;72:560–563
