Do You Feel More Weepy When Glutened?

I got into some gluten, I'm pretty sure I know how. I've been so sick all afternoon and in so much pain! I've had random crying spells that are not like me. Do any of you feel more weepy when glutened? I don't know how I endured this much pain before going gluten-free. Who would think food has so much control of our bodies? I now know food changes everything we are. How we feel, think and function.

Yes! One day after having a bite of bread on accident I was weepy and depressed for the rest of the day and the next. (although some of that might have been pure anxiety since I knew what happened).

I also get really weepy and depressed when I have soy so to me gluten and soy seem related.

yes of course (you can see my whimpering post from earlier today...). But I attribute it to the psychological aspects of the disease - frustration, lack of control, etc...

Yes, I lose control of my emotions. I just can't cope with things that would normally be only mildly irritating. If I have consumed gluten then I wake up crying in the morning, I cry on the bus, I cry in the bathroom at work, I cry if someone pushes in front of me in a line, if a student doesn't pay attention..... Friends have found me wandering the streets weeping and taken me home. Even though I know exactly why its happening, I still can't control it. But the people close to me are used to it, and they and I know not to take me seriously when I'm like that, it wears off in a day or two!

Me too. I cry when someone speaks to me even in love and concern. I find everything profoundly sad when I am glutened.

Yes - I get very emotional and generally feel depressed/weepy. Also get a very short fuse and am irritated by EVERYTHING. Just ask my fiance - he can always tell when I ate something because of my emotional response.

DITTO on the weeping, rage, irritability, feeling "overwhelmed", frightened and anxious, agitated ...it's pretty weird... and before I KNEW what was causing it, I was pretty worried I was going mad :unsure: --as these things are NOT my usual personality. I found even the neighbor's dog barking made me pissed off!! I kept trying to figure out what the hell was going on!!I even went to a shrink!!!--and insisted I wasn't like this--something was making me feel this way. And you know what SHE said? Hey, do you have any food intolerances???? :blink: THAT got me thinking...and led me --a year and a half later, baffled doctors, erroneous testing and misdiagnoses--towards a REAL diagnosis.

They are doing a lot of research on the affect of gluten toxicity on brains.

WE could probably write the book on it :blink:

I sure notice a dramatic change --I call it "the curtain dropping"--- when I have been glutened--and it feels gloomy and awful.

That is a good outlet!! :) --It is good your muscle mass was not affected by the disease. I LIVE for the day I can work out again and swim. I am in so much pain right now and filled with knotty trigger points and restricted movement....I am hoping more months on the diet will help out my massive lost muscle mass and tone. (I dropped 90 lbs., rapidly with this thing) The PT thinks so and so do I!!

Keep at it, Mama!! ;)

Thanks everyone! I'm without power right now due to a really bad storm..day two. I'm struggling on eating. I lost all my food in my fridge, but managed to grill some meat last night. I'm eating fruit, gluten-free ceral bars(don't usually eat these) and some Jello. I cannot eat nuts and I'm trying to stay whole foods. I've got a lot to do after work today and have since thought about that emergency kit someone posted about! I'm going to keep more on hand.

I just got glutened (just felt the effects, anyway), and my god, I know what you mean. I was in the lounge of my residence hall reading something that I didn't like, and I noticed it irritated me more and more as time went by. Then I realized the pain in my sides was getting worse, and I marched back to my room, worried and frustrated. That soon became anger, and I threw my chair back down on the ground, smashed by fists against my desk. That soon turned to hopeless weeping, back to anger, back to weeping. Then it went into a lesser version of the pain, and I just stared blankly at my wall, wondering where this possibly could have come from. Then I was in the "distract myself with the internet" phase, and now I guess I'm in the "post it online" phase.

Short version: Yes, it makes me weepy and incredibly emotional (on the negative side).

Weepy, short tempered, self destructive and suicidal.

Last week got very 'dark' around here and I didn't know why.....it got to the point where I thought that I had finally had some sort of mental break that wasn't related to gluten. After 3 days of horrible horrible thoughts about running away and hurting myself, I told my husband I was going to the county mental health service and look into some sort of treatment/hospitalization...only then did he confess that he had prepared eggs for me with the community tub of margarine 3 or 4 days earlier. He should have known better, he had to have seen all of the bread crumbs in there when he was scooping it out...either he truly wasn't thinking or he was 'testing' me..he normally wouldn't made the effort to make food for anybody but himself...so I am leaning toward 'testing'.

I am starting to come out of it...knowing what is causing it makes it easier to deal with but every time it happens it gets worse than the time before..it's time to take the house gluten free...my husband refuses to even consider it. It's probably the gluten talking, but it might be time to consider divorce. I hope that I live in a no fault state...I'd hate to tell a judge that I am divorcing my husband over bread crumbs.

Pancake Sunday hating stacey,

I support your thought process. The fact that he refuses to consider (or even try to meet you in the middle) is something that you deem important for your health is a deal breaker. Who knows how much farther that lack of support for you goes. This whole process is tough as it is - the last thing you need is additional battles with people who are closest to you. You'd be ok telling a judge that you are divorcing your husband if he is poisoning you, right?

I would wait to make sure it was a pattern first, and not an isolated incident. Also, don't make any decisions regarding the future of such important relationships while still under the influence of gluten! It is like a drug.

But once you're gluten "sober" if this is a constant pattern and not a mistake/something he regrets and never will do again...

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Katiec123 · Posted

      @cristiana I’ve got an appointment with the midwife next week so will speak to her then. Waiting for gp to get back to me. I’ve made the decision today to cut gluten out regardless due to the risks I’ve read about

      Hi Katie I am so sorry you had two miscarriages in the past.  Try not to worry, though, because it could be that they were unrelated, perhaps? Well done for contacting your GP.  Is it possible that you can speak to your midwife in the meantime for a chat?    Cristiana

      @cristiana hi!  the things I’ve read online about having untreated coeliac disease whilst pregnant has really scared me and made me very hesitant to continue eating it. I feel like the best option might be to eliminate gluten from my diet now and then continue with testing after I’ve given birth. I’ve got in touch with my gp and am due to get a phone call back on Monday. Really worried now as I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      @Katiec123 Welcome to the forum. I started to have symptoms related to coeliac disease (mouth ulcers, aura migraines etc) but no gastric symptoms during my first pregnancy.  That went to term, in fact, I was 10 days over and had to be induced.  But my second baby, born 21 months later, arrived at 33 weeks.  He's now doing well, and taller than all of us - it was just an earlier than expected arrival! I agree, it would not be wise to eat gluten  if there is any suspicion that you have coeliac disease during a pregnancy.   It would of course be good to know for sure, one way or another, because I believe coeliacs receive extra monitoring during pregnancy in many countries.   I think it may be well worth asking your GP if you can be referred to a gastroenterologist for a formal diagnosis asap.   By the way you spell 'coeliac' I'm guessing you are posting from the UK?  If that is the case, the NHS may rush things along for you, I suspect they will.  If it appears that they cannot refer you urgently, if you have the money for a private consultation it might be well worth it, as there is a trend here in the UK (I'm British) to diagnose coeliacs without the need for an endoscopy if the blood test results are compelling. Sounds like this is the case for you.  If you can see a gastroenterologist privately s/he might be able to diagnose you there and then (make sure you take a printout of your blood tests). Generally, there is a lot of support for coeliacs through the NHS, with a nutritionist, annual reviews and blood tests to check for diet compliance and health related issues, DEXA scans to check bone density, extra vaccinations where indicated and in some areas, certain gluten free food available on prescription.  So for lots of reasons, if you can get a diagnosis it's worth it. I hope all goes well with your appointment, let us know how you get on.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Shireen32 · Posted

      Hi , since being gluten free I am still having bad stomach problems . Such as constant gas in my stomach 24/7 ,burning, constant bubbling noises coming from my stomach and gurgling sounds that never stop .Pain under the left side of my rib cage when ever I eat and just always there’s pain there  .  My symptoms have not improved at all since being gluten free.  Could this be refractory coeliac disease ?? How is that even diagnosed or confirmed  ?  I had tests recently and this is what they say :Endomysial abs (IgA) -Positive  TTG abs (IgA)U/ml : My result is : 0.9 U/ml The Range:0 - 10 U/ml What does this mean pls ??? How can I still test positive for Endomysial abs when I am gluten free and am very careful about cross contamination? Do I even have coeliac disease I’m convinced some other digestive disorder is causing these symptoms .   I also have not had a endoscopy and now the gastroenterologist calls me after one year ( I’m from the uk and have free healthcare which has been such a nightmare with all this and never help me  )  so as I am gluten free the gastroenterologist advised me to start eating gluten again to be referred for a biopsy .. Is a biopsy even worth me doing ? The only proof I have is when I was eating gluten I could never get my ferretin , vitamin d and folate levels up . And since being gluten free these have gone up a little bit  . But that doesn’t always mean coeliac as I know gluten stops absorption in even normal people  . Pls can anyone shed some light it’s much needed ! And share some advice or answer my questions above . I have no idea with this whole coeliac stuff and am very much struggling .Much Appreciated .
