Yes, I do get anxious after eating gluten. Not every time, but often. Sometimes comes after D, sometimes before, rarely without any D at all. It's like my brain goes ADHD and everything makes me a bit nervous or cranky. I make bad decisions - or no decisions at all. Luckily the anxiety doesn't usually last more than 36 hrs or so. And 8 or 12 hrs in I usually realize what's going on and can anticipate a bit (like, focus on very discrete tasks).

I get really bad anxiety after a glutening. I get shaky and what my fiance calls "crazy-eyed".

Anxiety was actually the symptom my doctor saw that caused her to test for celiac, oddly enough.

I accidentally got glutened on Sunday at breakfast (restaurant) and spent the entire day reading in bed. I was exhausted, irritable/cranky, anxious, and didn't want to be around humans (lol). My fatigue and anxiety usually last for 4 days, getting a little better each day (I'm at about 80% today).

Yes, anxiety has been described as being related to celiac disease and I've read a lot about people experiencing anxiety after being glutened. Everyone seems to get better at a different rate depending on their level of sensitivity and I hope you feel better quickly :)

I was an anxious mess during my gluten challenge. Not sure if it was the wacky symptoms that cropped up or anxiety in itself. I use passionflower.

Our gut hosts the same neurotransmitters our brain does. GABA is involved in anxiety and is also in your gut.

Its really funny to read this right now because I just now joined the forum and its because I'm feeling so anxious at the moment.

There was a hurricane warning this afternoon so the family had to camp out at a nearby Buffet.

Big. Mistake.

I barely ate anything at all-actually got chastised for so much wasted food- and even then somehow some way I can't fathom, between ribs, rice, corn, spaghetti sauce, and ice cream I ate gluten. 

The ammount of self-directed-anger I feel when this happens is reflective of how messed up my mind gets. Its incredible how skewed my perspective becomes after a glutening. Everything is darkness, problems are blown way out of proportion, my anxiety is unbelievable, and I get heart palpitations allong with tremors. The worst is feeling my brain-im being serious here-swell. Slowly but surely right after the allergic dry couph goes away the vice like grip of a headache sets in and doesnt go away for about 3 days. I now know its inflamation. 

But anyways no its totally normal.

      + bloodwork - endoscopy.. then + bloodwork and another + bloodwork.. next endoscopy??

      By joleenrae · Posted

      My daughter was tested at her annual appointment when she turned 4 because her brother has celiac's. She has no symptoms. She eats a lot of gluten.  Blood work round #1 March 2024:  -          Endomysial IgA Ab: Negative  (Range: Negative) -          Gliadin IgA: <10.0 U/ml  (Range: <20.0 Negative) -          IGA: 93.43 mg/dL  (Range: 27.00 - 195.00) -          TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA: 9.1 U/ml  (Range: <4.0) *** this was high. the range changes for the next one, but it was noted that it was about double the range.  We went for an endoscopy in May 2024 and it was negative.  Blood work round #2 October 2024: -          ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER: 1:5 titer  (Range: <1:5) **flagged as high -          ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER: POSITIVE  (Range: NEGATIVE) **flagged because its not negative -          IMMUNOGLOBULIN A  TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA:  28.8U/mL  (Range: 22 – 140.  <15.0  =Antibody not detected. >or= 15.0 =Antibody detected.) **flagged high but the ratio/range was different and about double. Note says: Serological evidence for celiac disease is present. Blood work round #3 January 2025: -          TTG IGA: 28.1U/mL  (Range: 22 – 140.  <15.0  =Antibody not detected. >or= 15.0 =Antibody detected.) Now we are scheduling another endoscopy. My main concern right now is if the endoscopy is negative again…where does that leave us??? Public Schools and daycare will not feel her gluten free if its not an official diagnosis.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.
