What could be causing this?

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has experienced this: 

i have gotten off everything with gluten, rice, dairy and even sugar. (Raw food diet plus a little plain meat) I was doing great for about a month, and now all of my symptoms are starting to creep back: depression, foggy mind, anxiety,mood swings, racing thoughts, etc. no gastrointestinal probs but I never had much of that to begin with. It's really discouraging because I thought I had a good handle on it.  Any ideas or suggestions? I eat a lot of seeds and nuts, vegetables, fruits and a bit of meat.

You are six months into then diet, but had a month of feeling good, right?  Perhaps you are consuming a hidden source of gluten.  Maybe go back to you doctor for a celiac blood panel to check for compliance?  

I was glutened in July.  I can not tell you what glutened me.  It was probably one product or one prescription medication that my gluten-free husband did not consume, but I will never know because I am not going to test it out!  My symptoms were different that when I was diagnosed, so I went in for the blood panel.  Sure enough my antibodies were high!  Took me two months to feel better and another month to get dairy back.  I thought that I was very careful (have been at this gluten-free with my hubby for 14 years and over two years for me.)

Gluten happens. ?. At least rule it out.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?
