Irritability And Gluten

Hi,

I'm brand new here - my 8 y.o. daughter was just recently diagnosed gluten sensitive through Enterolab, and we have started a gluten-free diet. Her only symptoms have been belly aches, and we would have never even considered gluten sensitivity except that she had been having some severe irritability and we started exploring possible causes. Have any of you had a similar experience and if so, how long should it take for the irritability/mood problems to improve?

Thanks for any input you might have!

Before I was gluten-free I was highly irritable. I believe it took about a month for this to clear up. I think mostly stemmed from not feeling well.

Hi Karen,

Wow she sounds just like my daughter. The belly aches were her main sympton along with being very moody. I can't pinpoint exactly when her irritability got better, but over the last few months it seems like every day is a little better. Although when she got glutened this summer, her behavior was what tipped us off, completely irrational reactions to anything she didn't like. Hang in there and know that it does get better.

As another point (not to freak you out like it did us), the GI doc said that the moods could partially be caused by hormonal changes gearing up for puberty, I prefer to remain in denial about that whole topic so I blame the gluten.

We're about 3 weeks into the diet now (that is, with mistakes along the way!), and things do seem even a little better.

I don't even want to think about hormonal changes at this point either!

Thanks for the responses! It is really helpful to know others are experiencing similar issues.

Karen

      Daughter recently diagnosed with Celiac and I am questioning my results...

      By Beverage · Posted

      As Scott suggests, look into dermatitis herpetiformis. Also the rash there could be from SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or candida. If your regular doc won't investigate those possibilities, consider going to a naturopathic doc or integrative medicine doc.

      The forms of vitamins really mattered for me, maybe not for everyone but very much for me. Learned so much here. This b12, recommended by @Ennis-TX has really helped me since diagnose.  I can tell when i run out that i don't feel as good. LIQUIDHEALTH Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Liquid Drops with Sublingual Hydroxocobalamin - Boost Energy, Support Immune System, Improve Memory & Concentration - Vegan, Sugar Free, Non-GMO (2 Pack) https://a.co/d/c3cxXt7   i also had RLS, one of my few noticeable symptoms before diagnosis. It rears up when I slack off the supplements or drink wine. I found 2 of these a day keeps it at bay, get it very rarely now: Limited-time deal: ANDREW LESSMAN Circulation & Vein Support for Healthy Legs 60 Capsules - High Bioactivity Diosmin, Butcher's Broom, Visibly Reduces Swelling & Discomfort in Feet, Ankles, Calves, Legs https://a.co/d/7int9i9   I also take the procapslabs.com b complex, it has the methyl forms, which makes a difference for me: ANDREW LESSMAN High Potency B-Complex 180 Capsules - with High Levels of Folate Complex & Biotin, Promotes Cellular Growth, Energy, Immune Function, Detoxification, Fat Metabolism & More https://a.co/d/4fkAmFx   I also take extra thiamine, in form benfotiamine, as recommended by @knitty kitty which tremendously helped asthma.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your son has two positive blood tests for celiac disease, plus a positive biopsy for it...why hasn't your doctor diagnosed him with celiac disease, which is the most likely diagnosis based on the test results you shared? The next step should be a gluten-free diet, which your doctor already recommended.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      I am glad to hear you are not taking acid blocking meds as they increase gut PH which inhibits mineral absorption which, in turn, often causes the body to rob it's own bones of the calcium it needs for various metabolic processes. I was asking about that because acid reflux is very common in the celiac community.
