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! :)

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. 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.):
