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.

      Flavorings usually identified but don't know if there are laws that govern that. I bot lamb shanks that had rosemary flavor but did not see anything else that might be a grain so I ate it. I eat tons ground beef usually organic and grass fed from aldi. Not identified as gluten-free but hopefully it is. On the other hand I would only eat hot dogs which has several ingredients if identified gluten-free.

      All liquor that has been distilled are gluten-free because the liquor is captured from evaporation. Gluten is a heavy protein that will not evaporate make it safe for all celiac’s. cheers!

      Ground meats can contain flavorings and fillers. You must look for the gluten-free symbol on the packaging. I use Jennie-O brands which are marked gluten-free.

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.

      You should also have her checked for vitamin deficiencies.   "Iodine's presence in the diet can contribute positively to hair strength and elasticity by maintaining hair follicle cycling and supporting the synthesis of hair shaft components like keratin. Keratin is strong and won't dissolve in diluted acids, alkalines, solvents, or water" "Keratosis pilaris is a benign skin condition characterized by small bumps around hair follicles. It is caused by excess keratin, a protein that forms hair, nails, and skin. Iodine is not directly related to keratosis pilaris, but certain foods can help improve it" It could be deficiency in iodine may be causing the keratosis Polaris.  Insufficient iodine intake affects healing, intellegence skin and nails. The average intake of iodine fell 50% from 1970 to now.  A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will indicate intake.  TSH and T4 will not show iodine intake deficiency until damage is being done. Most newly diagnosed Celiac Disease and other autoimmune diseases are deficient in vitamin D when diagnosed.  Other than bone growth, vitamin D is essential for mental health and the immune system.
