Anxiety Through The Roof

Oh man- I had my second panic attack in a week today after a gazillion years of not having ONE. :angry: I got glutened and re-glutened (toothpaste- Sensodyne) and my hubby had a stroke 2 weeks ago. He's doing fine now, but had some testing today (which came back great). I tried to nap this afternoon because my body was exhausted but my heart and brain wouldn't stop moving for a second. I'm pretty sure it's the gluten, but I feel so depressed and anxious right now.

I meditated as I lay in bed for about half hour- that didn't help. I'm having one of those "I want to escape my body" days. :(

It's my Viking pose. :P

I never mentioned them because I haven't had one in so long and the last one was clearly gluten. I'm just tired and Kurt is still "happy" from the sedatives so I don't want to harsh his mellow. :D

You know Bev, it might just be that you're trying to "come down" from the events of the past 2 weeks. Add the gluten in, and and the anxiety gets the upper hand so to speak. I would think as the gluten effects fade, the anxiety will go back where it came from--and hopefully stay put! I know that when I get CC, the anxiety always comes back. Feel better soon :)

Bev, I'm sorry about the gluten, your panic attack and your husband's stroke. I get panic attacks, and know how horrible they are. You have more than one reason to have one, the glutening just being the last straw, I am sure. I hope that both you and hubby will be better soon.

I went through a period of time, after being in the hospital, of having multiple panic attacks. It is a miserable state. Biofeedback was a huge help to me...but I had to learn to control my anxiety with breathing, learning to calm myself. Also--going out, taking a walk, turning on a tv show to get your mind off of it all can help temporarily. Thoughts for you today....

I'm so glad you're feeling better -- I had one of those after my birthday two weeks ago (cross contamination at a picnic) -- wasn't fun and was combined with a very weird encounter with my ex -- I had two nights of total insomnia and I also unsuccessfully tried to meditate my way through them.

Just wanted to send you a hug. Hope you feel better soon. I get the anxiety and irritability to go with it. I'm just lovely when glutened! :P

Thanks for asking- it's up and down. Anxiety seems to have died down. Now I'm just weepy and sad. I'm sure it's everything catching up with me. Just need some rest. And a big hug.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
