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 *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
