"celiac Attack"

I had a question regarding the celiac attack. I was reading here about some of the attcks you folks have and I have to ask.  I  was told I had celiac at 30 (8 years)  I had a blood test only, but it was off the charts.  My question is, when I have a celiac attack (and its never a great deal of wheat eaten on accident) I do not have many if any physical symptoms.  Rather my mood and emotions become very bad.  I am not even the same person.  I cant think, I get SUPER depressed. ect.  Am I the only one who has this?  Because, I had gluten just over a week ago (a mistake in a resturant) and feeling an emotional change. My hair even seems different.    I need to know if this is common, or possible or should I be looking into something else.   When I am on a strick diet, I am just fine. 

THANKS bunches

You are not alone! Gluten definitely affects me physically but it has a huge impact on my mood. I become depressed, anxious, brain fog and moody! It's awful!

Hi Rebecca.  The term "celiac attack or gluten attack" is a term that I have heard here, but not sure how it's defined.  Some people have strong, painful symtoms after gluten ingestion, within twenty minutes or so.  I suppose that's what they mean.  Perhaps this is a severe allergy, or severe gluten intollerance, or both.

 

I personally, get very aggitated and tense, along with digestive issues about 26 hours after a gluten exposure.  The aggitation comes first.

 

Gluten Ataxia effects the brain.  And it can be quite debilitating, for some unrecognized.

 

Everyone is different.  And I would venture to say, that the longer you are gluten free, the more varied your symptoms can be.  I am certain that I have been exposed to cross contamination, or even a minor bit of gluten and have had no reaction, after eight years of being gluten free.  Meaning, that my body is now strong enough to deal with the 20 ppm, that is the proposed level of gluten that  most people with Celiac can be exposed to without damage..

 

Truly, gluten sensitivity is a weird bird, for sure.  You just have to listen to your body.

I really appreciate the feed back. It's super great to know I am not alone in this boat.  Having Celiac in the first place is a nightmare, but when I am contaiminated, I get so bad All I want to do it hide and never leave the house,.  Its tough. My emotions are so bad.  The fog is a good way to describe it. I feel dumb, and am easily confused and cant seem to handle things as well as I can when all is well.  Depression, and just plain irritaed at everything and everyon. 

 

THANK YOU!

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
