Bad Mood after eating

Hey all-- I recently have gone gluten-free. Within one week I have snapped out of depression and anxiety and am noticeably calmer and just more myself. Great stuff. But.... after meals, 100% gluten free, even just say for example, chicken or steak, I get irritable as hell for 2-3 hours after I eat. Then it disappears. It makes me not want to eat at all. The hours before eating I am fine, then within 15 mins of eating there we go again, irritability, depression etc. maybe my blood sugar levels are still adjusting? Can someone help explain or think of anything?

If it’s blood sugar maybe eat some fruit?

My thought is that it could be time to get a fasting blood sugar test, and explore the possibility of diabetes. Another thought is that many with celiac disease also have thyroid issues, so perhaps discuss your symptoms with your doctor who may order tests to check for these.

Wow! This was me all last year. How weird! I really couldn't figure it out and I still haven't. But I do know there are some foods that if I eat a lot of them, I feel like that afterwards. Not because of intolerance (because they're fairly benign ones) but something in the balance. 
I think it's something to do with protein. I would never eat a whole steak or chicken breast but eating smaller amounts it doesn't happen. I thought it was all in my head but a friend who knows a lot about neurochemistry said it made sense. I forget why. ha. 
I also know some people get that response eating tyramine foods. That's a well-known thing (because your heart races etc.). "The Cheese Effect" or whatever it is.

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
