Depression Went Away After 5 Months?

Hello, I was depressed constantly since age 13, then my belly went big and started having terrible panic attacks in 2011 to 2013. In August 2013 I went gluten-free and I noticed that my depression and anxiety went away in December. It was so fantastic, I felt in love with life again since age twelve. :)

 

Do you think noticing an improvement after 5 months when it comes to depression/anxiety is common? It seems that the moodiness is the last symptom to go away in my case. Any similar stories? I've got glutened many times this summer and recently and I've been a bit moody so it's deffinitely gluten-related.

I think it possible. My emotional state certainly improved with my general state of health. In retrospect, I can now clearly see certain depressive cycles correlating with my dietary lifestyle.

Depressive episodes are one of my symptoms of being glutened. I had horrid depression growing up and was hospitalized because of suicidal ideation. Now I only get suicidal like that after being glutened. Sometimes I still get depressed, but not nearly so bad. So yes depression can clear up because of being gluten free.

Yeah I know, I just didn't expect for moodiness to be the most persevering symptom. I guess even the slight malabsorbation makes me feel dull due to years of malabsorbsion. The longer I am gluten-free the happier I feel.

Anyway, happy Christmass to all of you and I hope 2015 will be better and gluten- and depression-/anxiety-free for all of us! :)

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. 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.):
