Celiac Disease, Gluten Sensitivity and Anxiety

[Juno]

I finished the Stress program last June and I can't say enough what a huge help it has been, but a month ago I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and I have been reading about it and apparently my anxiety seems to be physical due to gluten sensitivity. It was actually thanks to a book that someone one recommended on this web site that ended in my diagnosis. I wonder, do you handle anxiety that has medical causes differently? I also wonder how many people with anxiety don't know they have gluten intolerance.
For the past month I cut out gluten entirely from my diet and I feel much better, much less anxious, yet the anxiety is not entirely gone.
I thought I would post this in case anyone else was interested or struggling with the connection between gluten intolerance and anxiety.
Also, for women apparently polycystic ovary syndrome causes anxiety as well.

I had a follow-up visit at an environmental medicine clinic (for multiple chemical sensitivities) a few weeks ago. They suggested that I read the book, "The Gluten Connection", by Shari Lieberman. That book has me wondering whether I've got gluten sensitivity, since the condition can be behind a number of other conditions, among them: osteoporosis (I've got osteopenia, a.k.a. pre-osteoporosis); osteoarthritis (which I have in my kenes); and vitamin D malabsorption (which I have reason to suspect that I have).

So I'm trying to watch the gluten. It's early days yet to say whether it's making a difference, but it's worth a try. In addition, I'm trying to incorporate eating plans from "The Raw Food Detox Diet", by Natalia Rose. It's quite a juggling act.

Of course I've left a message for my regular doctor re: whether I was ever tested for glutin sensitivity. I haven't gotten an answer yet.
