Anyone else feel paranoid, have nightmares or night terrors when glutened? I was trying to do a three-day-challenge to show the doc and get positive blood work (but I have already asked about that and I don't know if the blood work will even show my HARD work!) but all of the crappy symptoms are back, including nightmares, waking dreams, and waking up feeling like something was in the room?!?! The dreams are so vivid, and scary, that I call my hubby (who is overseas) and make him talk to me for a little while. Anyone else have dreams/fears like this when glutened?????

These are typical anxiety symptoms and hypnotists deal with them all the time. Their origin is in scary things from the past, like scary movies or news scenes. Gluten may make you more susceptible. At any rate, they are easily dealt with and a trip to a hypnotherapist or a call to one may be in order.

Thank you guys so much for sharing your thoughts about the vivid nightmares, anxieties, paranoia and things that happen when we get glutened. Some days I feel like I am the only one out there that suffers from these problems.

When I get glutened I get into this deep paranoia/anxious state where nothing goes right, feels right. I am paranoid about yesterday, today and whatever may happen tomorrow. I drive my husband crazy with these feelings, he just doesn't understand how I can be so critical of myself and literally hate everything around me. My job suffers, my relationships suffer. I get absolutely nothing done, I'm afraid to be by myself, but at the same time don't want to go anywhere either.

I was glutened at some point this past week, and I am finally coming out of it today. It takes a good three to four days for me to feel relief.

I'm with you BamBam. I got glutened this week (by Sensodyne toothpaste :angry::angry::angry: ) and I took a nap Monday afternoon. I slept very restlessly but when I woke up and the house was dead quiet I was convinced something horrible had happened. It took me a few to "wake up" and settle down. Vivid dreams, etc can be brutal. Mine have decreased so much since i went gluten-free. Totally lost the night terrors and fear of the dark. It was bad. I think I said this before but I used to wake up and if it was really dark I would get claustrophobic and start hyperventilating and tear around the room looking for a light switch.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
