Over Christmas we had a family gathering and my sister-in-law failed to inform me that she put sausage in the sloppy joy mix. She used the Manwich sauce also, but I believe that is gluten free. Anyway, three days down the line I feel just plain yucky emotionally. I have no motivation, want to stay home and pout, my ability to think things through is just unreasonable. I make mountains out of molehills. My anxieties go way to the extreme side. When I am gluten free my life is pretty normal with just normal every day goods and bads.

I've always understood that glutened symptoms revolve around digestion and bowel problems. I have some of that, but the emotional problems are so intense that some days I wonder if I am going to make it.

Hold out Daisy. Gluten causes your immune system to do crazy things to your body chemistry and brain - emotional distress is definitely a symptom. Just have patience and strength knowing it WILL pass (even though it doesn't feel like it ever will). Good luck!

Hi Daisy, and welcome to the board. Many people have severe emotional problems when glutened. I am sorry you are feeling an emotional wreck right now. Hopefully it will pass very soon, and you'll be back to your old self. Hang in there in the meantime!

Daisy,

It is perfectly normal to have emotional symptoms when you get glutened. You may feel depressed, irritable, or even think irrationally. It will get better once your immune system calms down. Gluten reactions can last from 1-10 days. I usually feel normal after 4 days. I hope you feel better soon.

-Brian

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
