The short answer is yes, it does. Are you sure you're not consuming any gluten?

And you're also sixteen, that's enough to make anyone depressed <_<

Off course it does...

I always feel really depressed after eating gluten by mistake, eventhough my life really rocks! ;)

Try checking your food for any kind of hidden gluten sources!

I am very depressed also when I get gluten. It is aweful and it was one of my symptoms before finding out. I got gluttened this past Saturday night and yesterday was miserable!

I don't know about the corn. What symptoms are you having. You could try eliminating it from your diet. I think that would be the only way to tell.

Go see your doctor and tell them how you are feeling. Make sure you get the help you need.

Lauren,

I would suggest getting allergy testing done by a qualified allergist. They test for all common food allergens, including corn. I have a mild allergy to corn and several other foods in addition to being gluten intolerant. There are different types of allergy tests available. I'm not sure what the latest and greatest technology is for allergy testing but mine was the skin prick test. They can also do it by a blood sample but I'm not sure which is considered most accurate. The type of testing I had done was over $1000.00 but my insurance paid for it.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
