My sincerest thanks to all who replied to my post.  My sister is doing well.
She will get tested and is considering trying the diet.

I received 59 responses.  Many said that there was a definate link between
depression and gluten ingestion.  Severe mood swings schizophrenia, and
headaches were often side effects.  According to the responses, these were
greatly improved by strictly adhereing to a gluten free diet and in some
instances, a casein free diet as well.

Many said that doctors were not helpful as they would just prescribe drugs
for depression(treating the symptoms, not the cause).  I will try to get her
to try the diet regardless of how she tests, to see if that helps. She was
not very receptive to the thought of going on a gluten free diet, as I am
sure most celiacs can relate to.

Again, thanks to all the reponses. They were of great help.

Sincerely,
Michelle Van Kleeck
