Erin,

I also saw that off comment, not related to that post by meg.  I looked up scientific studies, related to celiac and bipolar on PubMed and found no studies with conclusive evidence that "bipolar people are celiac."   I am at a loss as to where that person has found or feels there is conclusive evidence of the claims they are making.

After being on Lithium for over ten years. Then changing to Trileptal and Seoquel.  I had to have my Galbladder removed, for being impacted with stones.  Now I do suffer from celiac.  The galbladder stores bile which the liver deposits.  After eating fatty foods.  The galbladder dumps the bile into your digestive system to break down the fatty food you've eaten.  Now if you don't have a galbladder.  The bile is not stored.  But goes directly into your digestive system.  Which begins the ibs.  I always have to carry imodem with me if I am going out to dinner.  Most times I'll just eat at home., I still have to take imodem.  I also have to take GasX. Eating  Activea does help alot. So this is the only connection of the two that I can think of.  Has anyone else have to have their Galbladder removed? 

I was just reading a study about this the other day.  It found (I think it was in Scandinavia) that there was no correlation with bipolar and subsequent celiac, but a higher incidence of depression followed by celiac diagnosis.  There was a higher incidence of depression following celiac diagnosis, as well.
