Low grade allergies have a lot of effect on the behavior of some people, hives, nose problems, and stomach upset.
Celiac disease can cause diarrhea and change the bowel lining.
I recently heard a lecture where one doc discussed that newer tests are finding a lot of mild celiac disease.
Milk is another problem. Non western Europeans have lactose deficiency, and can get bowel problems. But many "white" Americans may not realize a Cherokee great grandmom or a Hungarian ancestor that makes them unable to eat a lot of milk products.
And again, milk can also cause allergies (and so can soy, alas).
There is a relationship between low grade allergies and behavior, and giving a person a good diet often makes them behave better. But it is not true for everyone.
A lot of people with mild mental illness get obsessed with one idea. Sometimes this idea is a diet. But since schizophrenia is a description of symptoms not a disease, it may be years to find whether or not there is a link.
For example, pellegra can cause mental disease (low vitamin B) and thirty years ago people would treat schizophrenia with high dose vitamin B...and some would respond. But the number who got better with the vitamin wasn't higher than the number of normal remissions with no treatment at all.
although some people have allergies, they don't affect everyone.
One more note: Those with American Indian ancestry often get a sun allergy rash that can be quite bad. So if you get a dry itchy ecsema type rash in the summer, check your geneology. Most docs don't recognize it.

I think the perfect diet is meat, fish, and vegetables, with some fruit and nuts thrown in.
‘Corn’ in King James English refers to wheat. The English refer to what we call ‘corn’ as maize. Maize/corn is a New World crop, unknown to the Hebrews.

I’m a Gluten for pun-ishment. ;)
Yeah and Hannity had no idea what a "gluten free diet" means. He quipped with a straight face, "I should probably look into that I've been putting on a few pounds" and she just stared at him.

Our County Fair, this year, is advertising “deep fried beer”. Haven’t been to the fair in over a decade. I just might go this year.
Me too. None better.
