Opiate Withdrawal from Gluten and Casein?

Dr Charles Parker's Celiac Notes.

Opiate withdrawal from discontinuing gluten and casein?
Cautionary note: sounds absurd until you see it.
.
You might want to warn gluten sensitive, celiac and casein sensitive patients about this
odd and painful clinical phenomenon:
Withdrawal after stopping wheat or milk products can be painful, exhausting, and depressing,
with weakness, anger, and brain fog.
.
The peptides from gluten [gliadorphin] and casein [casomorphin] are important because
the react with opiate receptors in the brain, thus mimicking the effects of opiate drugs like heroin and morphine.
These compounds have been shown to react with areas of the brain such as the temporal lobes,
which are involved in speech and auditory integration.

Irish, you wrote an excellent article on gluten and casein. Heroin and morphine mostly effects on brain, the symptoms you suggested about the opiate drugs like heroin and morphine are correct.
