It might be possible to repair your brain after gluten by something as
simple as fewer calories with good nutrition, or by eating less
frequent meals.  Severe food intolerance can cause brain damage, i don't
know about foods other than gluten, but gluten can.

From the "intermittent fasting" link on my web page
http://www.lightlink.com/lark/why.html

   studies have shown that
   undereating can have profound effects on brain function and decrease
   vulnerability to injury and diseases. Undereating can protect neurons
   against degeneration in animals, models of Alzheimer's Disease,
   Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease and stroke. Moreover,
   undereating can stimulate the production of new neurons from stem
   cells (neurogenesis) and can enhance synaptic elasticity, which may
   increase the ability of the brain to resist aging and restore function
   following injury.


   Interestingly, increasing time intervals between meals can have
   beneficial effects on the brain and overall health of mice that are
   independent of calorie restrictions. Scientists believe that the
   beneficial effects of calorie restriction and intermittent fasting
   (with no calorie restrictions) appear to be the result of a cellular
   stress response that stimulates the production of proteins that
   enhance neuronal plasticity and resistance to metabolic and oxidative
   insults. These proteins include neurotrophic factors such as BDNF
   (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), HSP (Heat Shock Proteins) and
   mitochondrial uncoupling proteins. It has been assumed that certain
   kinds of stress such as due to periodic fasting, ndereating and
   physical exercise, may have similar beneficial effects on brain and
   muscle tissue, respectively, by stimulating regeneration of brain and
   muscle cells via activation of stress proteins and the productionof
   growth factors
