Depression
Those people who have digestive problems like gluten intolerance are often more susceptible to both depression and anxiety. The signs would be very disabling and include feelings of sadness and hopelessness. The condition can be caused by many reasons. The first is an abnormal level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that allows for the communications of cells. A lowered level of this component is associated with depression. Changes in your gut microbiota might also be blamed. A decrease in good bacteria and an increase in harmful bacteria would affect your central nervous system, thus raising the risks of depression. Also, digesting gluten proteins can also form gluten exorphins, which might interfere with your nervous system and lead to mental illness. [5]
