13- ADHD Syndrome
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a syndrome which affects both children and adults, and has recently been proven to be connected to gluten sensitivity. A child with ADHD responds to a gluten free diet much better than to the drugs for this disorder. This indicates that this disorder is exacerbated by gluten intake. Alternately, further research has discovered another connection, where food sensitivities and stomach problems have been reported to be the root cause of behavioral disorders particularly ADHD. Malabsorption issues in the gut facilitate a number of mental issues among which ADHD is the most important. This way, certain proteins enter the body, whereas in a healthy gut, they are prevented from doing so.
