This is your brain on gluten
Our brains have glial cells that make up nearly half of the brain's mass, and are recognized for causing immune function reactions/inactions. In other words, when "poked" by stimulation, these cells are activated to send or transmit information from the brain to other parts of the body. If poked the wrong way, it's sending a bad message. If a person who is gluten intolerant, has a wheat allergy or suffers from Celiac Disease eats gluten... well then you are just pissing off your glials. Way to go.
When gluten is ingested, the glial cells are activated (and irritated) and this can snowball into what others have, for years, had no explanation for. Brain fog, lack of concentration, depression or poor mood swings. As well as many other psychiatric symptoms that seem to go hand-in-hand like moon-gazing lovers with the intestinal symptoms, even asthma or rashes and headaches. Fun, right?
Just say no.
