Glutened from rice cakes--I hate the unhinged anger.

[selectivefocus]

The Quaker ones. They're not certified. I ate literally an entire sleeve of the caramel ones. When I got the trademark migraine the next morning, I knew I screwed up. 

I had joint pain last night (day 2) and today is day 3 and I'm so freaking irrationally angry. I don't always get the anger symptom but i hate it. I am usually the picture of composure and go with the flow and calm and happiness. It reminds me of how I used to feel all the time before diagnosis. Negative and angry and the smallest things would set me off. I feel so much shame about knowing I used to feel/act like that all the time. I know it is the gluten and it will go away but I just hate it SO MUCH.

I have the Celiac gene from my father. It runs heavy on his side of the family. He is one the nastiest, angriest, most negative people in the entire world. He would never entertain the idea that he has Celiac though, he doesn't think it's real. 

Angry outbursts were one of my 7 year old's biggest symptoms. She turned into a tyrannical demon who would scream and throw things and slam doors.

I feel you regarding the joint pain and anger. I have to work so hard to keep my emotions in check when I am badly glutened. And I get irrationally angry at myself when I let my guard down and try something new and get glutened yet again.

High histamine levels can cause irritability and mood swings.  

Histamine N-methyltransferase regulates aggression and the sleep-wake cycle

This article discusses symptoms and disorders associated with Histamine Intolerance.

Histamine Intolerance Originates in the Gut

And another article suggests things to help lower histamine levels...

And...

Diamine oxidase supplementation improves symptoms in patients with histamine intolerance

And...

Antihistaminic action of (--)-trans-delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol

And...

Vitamin insufficiency can cause aggression...

Thiamine and benfotiamine counteract ultrasound-induced aggression, normalize AMPA receptor expression and plasticity markers, and reduce oxidative stress in mice

Supplementing with the B Complex vitamins is beneficial while the intestinal villi are healing and aren't able to absorb essential nutrients.
