Milk Lifting My Mood And Giving Energy...why?

Hi everyone,

this may sound strange but I've recently made the discovery that milk enhances my mood and provides me with energy almost instantly after I've drank it.

This has been happening now for a short while now. When I was accidentally got glutened last week the milk didn't really take any effect, but now that it's been a few days, whatever is in the milk is giving me that lift again. This led me to believe that it could have been a B12 deficiency that I may have been suffering from so I bought some sublingual pills. They arrived today. I did some research and learnt that the methylcobalamin is the best form to take so I got those. I took a pill today and felt nothing. I did read that it could take months to see any chance but this doesn't explain what happened below.

I just drank milk again and got that energy boost, mood lift and a general feeling of good well being.

This may not be the right forum but I am writing this here, anyway, since celiac sufferers may have knowledge of vitamins, etc.

Does anyone know what vitamin could be responsible?

Maybe it's a mild effect from the opioid peptides in milk. Some people are more sensitive to it than others.

My BIL runs marathons. The recommended drink after exercise is chocolate milk. I know even non-fat milk &/ or chocolate have a good effect on my oldest boy. He plans to stock his dorm fridge with choco milk & Mt dew. If you can digest it, it sounds like a pretty safe upper. :)

That's great Sky! I'm going to tell him he doesn't need drugs. choco milk is his drug.

Edited: just talked to my 18 year old. He said "That sounds about right." in regards to Speedy's mood lift & energy boost. So there are 2 of you.

It could be the casein protein also. The American military once experimented with using casein as a fatigue fighter for soldiers. I have reactions to dairy products myself. I once stayed awake for 3 days straight after eating cheese and wasn't even tired. Started sleeping a after that 4 hours and then 6 hours the next day etc. Now that I have been off gluten longer and have a more healed gut, I don't react to it like that. But I still don't eat it for other reasons.

Well, I did lots of research about all this in the past few days and narrowed it down to either a possible B3 or B1 deficiency. Firstly, I tried B3 foods, such as chicken and felt no change.

Today, I tried B1 and felt the same effect that I got from milk ie more energy, much less anxiety (I experienced this a lot!) my mood is much more happy and I feel motivated to do many more things.

I read that Celiac can cause deficiency of many different B vitamins including B1. I believe I may have found my answer but I don't want to say too much in case I'm wrong.

Right now, I'm just enjoying the effects of thinking that I have finally found the right vitamin to replenish.

I take a vitamin B-Complex pill. It includes all B vitamins. They seem to give me a lot of energy. In fact I have to be careful not to take them to late into the afternoon because then I'm up all night with energy to burn :)

Have you ever bought a bottle of Organic, low fat chocolate milk and added protein powder to it? I don't care what time of the day or night... it propels my mood exponentially.

      Enegy level extremely low

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Test Results

      Oh, yes. When you reply with the reference ranges, please also add the units used such as mg/L or whatever. Different labs will used different units of measure just as they will deploy different reference ranges.

      Welcome to the forum, @breadbreadbaby! We cannot comment on your test numbers until you also provide the reference ranges used by the lab doing the analysis. Different labs construct the test analysis differently and used different reference ranges, Hence, there are no industry standards. You will likely have to repost the existing information in a new post as I don't think you will be able to edit your original. These two tests are the only ones that are celiac specific for which we need the reference ranges:  IgA - .98 Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4  Urate and ferritin are not specific tests for celiac disease. Urate is a test for uric acid levels and would be something run when gout is suspected. Ferritin is an iron storage protein. Though not a celiac specific test, iron stores are often depleted in those with long term celiac disease because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel by celiac disease. The small bowel is the portion of the intestinal track where all of the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed, including minerals like iron and the vitamins necessary to assimilate iron like B12. Many celiacs have few if any GI symptoms. This is common. We call them "silent celiacs". I was one of them. Silent celiacs are usually discovered indirectly because they develop health issues or irregular lab values indicative of vitamin and mineral malabsorption. In my case, it was elevated liver enzymes which had no other explanation. It took 13 years for me to get that figured out after the first appearance of elevated liver enzymes. By that time, I had experience significant bone demineralization.
