Getting High On Wheat

Does anyone else get high on wheat before they get ill? I have been sober for a long time and I am now realizing one of the ways I did it was to get stoned on wheat when things got to stressful. I was with a group last night and caught myself watching someone eat a pretzel, I got that old tingle again and knew I needed to look away before I started entertain the thoughts of how much I wanted one.

Before when things got stress full I would plop down on the couch with a bag of gluten and binge. I would first feel real good from it. Then feel sedate then go to sleep. The only way I could deal with family functions was to sit there with a plate of cookies.

Its been 6 months without gluten and I never want to go back to that physical mess that I was. I am getting better. But the stress of the holidays is getting to me. I am not special, I am sure it is getting to many people.

Of course, they affect people to different degrees, but the phrase is "opioid peptides".

Thanks that was very interesting. I spent an hour googling and reading and it is nice to have a word and some backings to go to what I was thought was going on.

YES!

I've noticed corn does it to me too.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.

      With NCGS there isn't villi damage, so it would not be detected via an endoscopy/biopsy. There also may not be high levels of tTG-IgA or tTG-IgG (sometimes they can be elevated, but in the normal range), but these blood tests may be slightly elevated or even high in people with NCGS: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide), but, you can still have it even if all of these tests are normal.

      That all makes sense thank you.    I was within normal ranges - a little on the lower end.  So, the NCGS would still show positive biopsy?
