Hello, Gluten-Induced Anger. Nice To See You Again.

I'm four and a half weeks into a gluten challenge, and today, after eating a sandwich for lunch, I absolutely ERUPTED in a dark explosion of anger. I work in a kindergarten, so I had to try and contain, but it was so bad that I had to go to the bathroom, do a few air punches, silently scream, and then break down crying. The trigger? My boyfriend was talking to a co-worker about us possibly taking a trip to an island next month, and he hadn't mentioned it to me yet. I think I just got upset because he was discussing the prospect with someone else before he was discussing it with me. Oh my.

 

My dear boyfriend, thank goodness for him, understands and tells me that it's okay, but I told him that I wish he could be inside of my body and mind when this happens. It truly is like Jekyll and Hide, and you just can't control it. When I'm off gluten, I NEVER get angry. Ever. It was such a strange feeling, and I was shocked at the angry, frustrated person that seemed to crawl out of the depths of me. 

 

I just needed to vent that, and I'm sure that lots of other people here suffer from the "gluten grumpies," although I guess it's more like "the gluten-induced, irrational furies."  :D Thank you for listening!

Edit "thank goodness for him" means that I am grateful for him. Not that things would be worse for him if he didn't understand. Haha.  :P

Yup, I know how that is! Hopefully it will be over soon. The last two weeks of my gluten challenge overlapped with the first two weeks of my daughter's gluten withdrawal, and boy did we have a grumpy household! Hang in there.

how much longer for your challenge?  I hope you're done soon!!

 

I've always had a much shorter temper around my family because hey aren't they suppose to love you no matter what  :P

 

I've been gluten-free for 4 months now, and my Mom has noticed different improvements, but one of them has been my anger.  One day she was like, "Maybe gluten is why you've always had a temper."  When I was born the doctor even told my Mom, "Oh it looks like this one has a temper."  In general I'm able to handle stress so much better since going gluten-free.  Hope you feel better soon!

I had the same problem.  Thank goodness it doesn't happen anymore after nearly 6 years gluten free.  Early in the diagnosis when my husband would leave gluteny crumbs lying around, my reaction was not good for our marriage!  Maybe knowing it will soon be gone will help you cope a tiny bit.  Good luck.

I once started explaining how gluten made me feel angry, and started to apologize to my husband in advance. He started laughing and informed me it was crystal clear to him when I got in it - anger, withdrawal, general b%$@#y moodiness. Basically, no warning required!

Btw, I don't think it does that anymore. Maybe if I was on a challenge? I'm pretty mellow (I think), now.

After 8 years, anger and general crabbiness / brain fog are my main symptoms if I get accidentally cross contaminated. (this happens only very rarely anymore)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
