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.

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
