Could a
gluten-free diet have saved Kurt Cobain? I don't know. But I was just
wondering, what if he had known about gluten? What if he had tried going gluten
free? What if a gluten-free diet could have saved him. He might not have
been so depressed and hopeless. He might not have been so tortured.
Even before he
started using heroin, Cobain was sickly and skinny (suspiciously
symptomatic of celiac disease). He threw up often, especially when
he was nervous or stressed out. Concert tours were physically and emotionally
exhausting for him, and at least once (that I know of) he literally had a
nervous breakdown during a show and threatened to commit suicide right there in
front of the audience.
Anyone who struggles with gluten sensitivity and has gone on a gluten-free
diet has probably noticed there is a direct correlation between gluten
consumption and bouts of depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues, in
addition to the gastrological difficulties. The pressures of fame and grueling
concert tours would have done me in too before I went gluten free.
I think a
gluten-free diet would have helped him feel better and possibly could have
saved his life. I may be wrong. I didn't know him personally, so who's to say. Just
my own personal theory.
Kurt Cobain was the front
man for the musical group Nirvana. He suffered from illness and depression most
of his life and in the last few years of his life struggled
with heroin addiction. He died from a self-inflicted
shotgun wound to the head, April 5, 1994 at the age of 27.

I believe this as well!
ReplyDeleteI believe this as well!
ReplyDeleteI have totally thought this as well. I'm glad not to be the only over analyzer!
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the documentary about Cobain I too think that Gluten was his hidden demon. As a confirmed Celiac I went through YEARS of horrible psychiatric issues including wanting to die etc.........if only he was around now so that it could have been detected
ReplyDeleteIncredible, kurt looked exactly like me when yiunger. I was skinny had atringy hair and pale. My stomach hurt, i was moody and delressed etc. At 32 i was diagnosed with celiacs.he was like a mirror to me and i believe he had the disease. Rest in peace kurt
ReplyDeleteGluten intolerant. Self diagnosed. Off lithium for first time in 17 years and gluten free has been my base line for wellness. RIP Curt.
ReplyDeleteKurt.sorry.
DeleteYes I believe 100% Kurt Cobain had celiac disease. I had have been suffering with severe stomach pain my entire life not to mention depression anxiety insomnia and posdible bipolar. All this was proved wrong I was misdiagnosed for 20 years. Now strict gluten free diet has saved my life. I only wished that Kurt had have been tested for gluten intolerant symtomms and celiac disease. We will mever know fyi Courtney harrison love is a murderer. Rip kurt you inspired me to continue music to this day despite my health issues.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the typos* God bless Kurt
