I am interested in finding out if there is any link to celiac and mood disorders. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with PMDD (pre-menstral dysforic disorder) I used to laugh at the commercials where anti-depressants were peddled for it, until it happened to me. OR, was the PMS and the celiac too much for my body to handle? I don't have a clue, but something is wrong. I was put on meds for the PMDD after my GYN had me keep a journal of these "episodes" I was having. Strangely, consistantly for 7 months, a week before my cycle I would well, go nutso, almost a week to the day...So I started the meds and I've been okay for awhile now. I started my Gluten Free diet aug. 19th, I just went through the first cycle while on the diet and even with the meds I went wacko! I have heard of depression and other things being a side effect of celiac. With all the things in my life for my whole life that now make "sense" after my diagnosis, I really truly hope I can figure this one out, I can't live in fear of my friggin cycle for the rest of my life. If you suffer from a mood disorder, please chime in I need all the info I can get at this point. :unsure:

I don't have a mood disorder, but I did have strong mood swings the week before also. (I didn't even want to be around me :angry:) Since going gluten free it isn't as bad. I've been gluten free for just over 2 years and I've noticed that I'm no where as moody as I used to be. The longer I go gluten free the better my moods. Perhaps when you have gluten free longer you will notice a difference.

One of my signs that I've been gluten is my need to snap at everyone and everything around me - whether they have done something or not.

I hope someone else answers and gives you more help than I've been able to come up with.

It was thought by my doctors that many of my depression issues were related to my hormones because I would become so much worse during my cycle. I also became progressively more ill with each pregnacy. I finally had my tubes tied because we thought if I got pregnant again it would send me even more over the edge. Celiac soon after that caused a very early menapause, but that did not ease the symptoms. It turned out to all be caused by the neurological manifestations of celiac. I posted a topic on a good paper I found a while back and am posting a link to the page.

I wonder if it is caused by the gluten-free diet - your improved health and new n' improved hormone function. I have bipolar disorder and I haven't noticed any mood trouble after a year+ on the diet, although I take lithium - a mood stablizer - not an anti-depressent.

I don't know of any direct link between celiac disease and mood disorders.

Do you take a B complex vitamin? That can be helpful in mood disorders, celiac and plain PMS.

Thats pretty much what I was wondering, if its all related to the celiac. I've been reading alot on the web about how that can be a symptom also. I also tied my tubes after my second child because of all these problems I have. :(

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests...

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

      Thanks that's what I didn't know about soy hidden with wheat. I know it's autoimmune but want sure about sensitivity to corn or eggs. There's no tests for these which are non gluten is there? I have had gluten free tortillas pastas made with corn and have had eggs so I don't think it bothers me but I was curious if there was a test that does sure sensitivities...

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      And of course I get these results (the ttg iga marked high at 646 mg/dL) on a Friday in my portal, my doctor wasn't in, and now we are in the weekend—leaving me to have to try and figure things out on my own until sometime next week. None of the nurses at the office would talk to me.

      The IGA TTG (aka, TTG-IGA) is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. A high value in this test indicates probable celiac disease, though there are other reasons (some other diseases, some medications and in some cases, even some non-gluten foods that can cause it to be elevated. And it is not unusual at all for other celiac antibody tests to be normal when the TTG-IGA is high. Normally, when the TTG-IGA is elevated, the physician will order an upper GI with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage characteristic of celiac disease. The biopsy is then sent out for microscopic analysis. This is to confirm the results of the blood testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test. You should not begin a gluten free diet until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete. This is very important because otherwise the results will be invalidated.  This article on celiac disease blood antibody tests might be helpful to you while you are waiting for feedback from the physician:
