"An additional interesting pathway by which gluten might affect the brain was summarized by Bressan and Kramer, 2016. It appears that gluten can generate exorphins, as shown in animal models.Intriguingly, the gluten originated opioids have higher activity compared to those from casein and many Western societies consume as much as 50 g of gluten, daily. The bad side of those exorphins, when reaching their brain receptors, is their behavioral effects as shown in autism, schizophrenia and psychosis.
Decreased social interaction, reduced pain sensitivity, uncontrolled motor activity, disruptive effects on visual and auditory performances were described in mental illnesses as well as in neurodegenerative conditions.
The case report illustrating the life-changing amelioration, as achieved by gluten withdrawal in a patient with neuropsychiatric disorder having long term auditory and visual hallucinations, is very intriguing.
Finally, some cognitive impairment and “brain fog” associated with gluten-dependent diseases, may respond to gluten elimination."
