Mood Swings And Things

Ok while I have only been gluten-free for  three weeks,  my moods have been very calm,but today has been different. Oddly seem to be a bit shorter tempered than normal, I have went over everything I have eaten past few days (food journaling) and can attest that everything in my kitchen is indeed gluten free. I know I am still going thru a withdrawl period but holy crap. Did anyone else here during their initial first few weeks have the bizare mood swings? I'd say it would be my time of the month(sorry if TMI) but that would be a bit impossible seeing I had a hysterectomy back in  2011. Does anyone know outside of deep breaths, mediation and such to help stop the cranky mood swings I am experiencing today? The news is not totaly bad, I recently have found I am starting to work on things I have needed to do like get my MCSE, and working on learning to code again.

If they left the ovaries - it could be hormonal. If you are taking any hormone replacement, the healing intestines might be taking in more than you need, now.

Getting a diagnosis of a disease that, while its treatable, is life long,  can be very emotionally draining.  You can be going along fine, and suddenly, BAM!  It kind of reaches the breaking point.

Everyone, Celiac or not, has grumpy days.  It may be the weather, it may be you didn't get enough vitamin XYZ, it might be you didn't sleep as well as usual, too  much caffeine, too little caffeine, too much sugar, too little sugar,  it could be you have been possessed by demons.  Who knows?

Thank you for the insight. I still have my overies as I had expressed my concerns for not wanting to go on hormone therapy after expressing those concerns to my obgyn. Who agreed since my overies was perfectly healthy.  Actually there was some recent changes going on  non health related but enviormental, that may kinda led into it.  I may have been reacting to others  emotions more than my own, sometimes I do tend to do that. I just felt it was more of a me thing.

yup, ovaries in all likely hood ="period" like hormone alterations....unless you have aged out after the fact, you are one of the sub group that losing your uterus has put you into menopause...don't know a lot about that, but have heard of it.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      By Recently diagnosed · Posted

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.
