Anyone else feel paranoid, have nightmares or night terrors when glutened? I was trying to do a three-day-challenge to show the doc and get positive blood work (but I have already asked about that and I don't know if the blood work will even show my HARD work!) but all of the crappy symptoms are back, including nightmares, waking dreams, and waking up feeling like something was in the room?!?! The dreams are so vivid, and scary, that I call my hubby (who is overseas) and make him talk to me for a little while. Anyone else have dreams/fears like this when glutened?????

These are typical anxiety symptoms and hypnotists deal with them all the time. Their origin is in scary things from the past, like scary movies or news scenes. Gluten may make you more susceptible. At any rate, they are easily dealt with and a trip to a hypnotherapist or a call to one may be in order.

Thank you guys so much for sharing your thoughts about the vivid nightmares, anxieties, paranoia and things that happen when we get glutened. Some days I feel like I am the only one out there that suffers from these problems.

When I get glutened I get into this deep paranoia/anxious state where nothing goes right, feels right. I am paranoid about yesterday, today and whatever may happen tomorrow. I drive my husband crazy with these feelings, he just doesn't understand how I can be so critical of myself and literally hate everything around me. My job suffers, my relationships suffer. I get absolutely nothing done, I'm afraid to be by myself, but at the same time don't want to go anywhere either.

I was glutened at some point this past week, and I am finally coming out of it today. It takes a good three to four days for me to feel relief.

I'm with you BamBam. I got glutened this week (by Sensodyne toothpaste :angry::angry::angry: ) and I took a nap Monday afternoon. I slept very restlessly but when I woke up and the house was dead quiet I was convinced something horrible had happened. It took me a few to "wake up" and settle down. Vivid dreams, etc can be brutal. Mine have decreased so much since i went gluten-free. Totally lost the night terrors and fear of the dark. It was bad. I think I said this before but I used to wake up and if it was really dark I would get claustrophobic and start hyperventilating and tear around the room looking for a light switch.

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "grass-fed" meat by definition cannot contain wheat as it means the animal is only fed grass  organic meat can be fed wheat feed

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.
