Here’s a compelling story showing just how powerful a gluten free diet can be in seemingly unrelated problems like migraine headache and depression. – Dr. Perlmutter
I first visited Dr. Perlmutter approximately one year ago after having a mild stroke at age 48. Clearly, I wanted answers on how to prevent another such brain event. After Dr. Perlmutter performed some testing, he found that I was gluten intolerant and deficient in various vitamins and minerals.
A gluten-free approach through a healthy diet has provided me with many benefits. Since the age of nine years old, I have been plagued with chronic migraine headaches and depression. After following a 30 day elimination diet, ingesting no gluten, alcohol, dairy, sugars or sugar substitutes, I have had no other complications with stoke, no occurrence of migraine or sinus headaches, and a great relief of my depression symptoms.
I am totally convinced that the most important thing you can do to keep your brain healthy from disease and premature ageing is to eliminate gluten, sugars and other unhealthy carbohydrates from your diet.
