Urinary peptides are incompletely broken down pieces of protein. The peptides from gluten and casein are important because they can react with opiate receptors in the brain, thus mimicking the effects of opiate drugs like heroin and morphine. These compounds, called neuropeptides, have been shown to react with areas of the brain such as the temporal lobes, which are involved in speech and auditory integration. Neuropeptides also decrease the ability to feel pain and affect cognitive function.
Most people that have food allergies to milk and wheat also have problems with peptides from milk and wheat interacting with their brain and causing an opiate-like effect. However, there are some people that may not show a food allergy to milk or wheat, but have the peptide problem and vice versa so it is a good idea to have both the peptides and food allergy testing done.
