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

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

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5698467/

 

This article discusses symptoms and disorders associated with Histamine Intolerance.

Histamine Intolerance Originates in the Gut

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8069563/

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

Histamine Intolerance—The More We Know the Less We Know. A Review

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8308327/

And...

Diamine oxidase supplementation improves symptoms in patients with histamine intolerance

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6859183/

And...

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

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/239651/

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

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30817932/

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

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
