Angry & Anxious When Starting Gluten Free Diet

Hi there,

I am new to all this and I have posted a couple of questions on the coping w/

celiac disease forum. Anyway-I gotta another question....

Did anyone feel extremely moody when first starting the gluten free diet???

I feel like I am going to go nuts and my stomach has been nauseous since starting this.

Though the nausea has let up today.

I am at the beginning of day four of being gluten free.

If these symptoms are attributed to "detoxing gluten"-I am absolutely shocked!!!!

This is crazy. Could I be going through withdrawals of wheat bread???????? :blink:

Absolutely you could be experiencing withdrawals, I remember it VIVIDLY... I remember calling my mom in tears saying it felt worse than withdrawals from drugs (yeah, been there)... It was awful, but it passed fairly quickly, just keep your body nourished and hydrated and try to rest as much as you can. Gluten affects the opioid receptors just like narcotics do, interesting huh? Just hang in there and keep it up, you will get through this and feel so much better for it.

Yes -- the moodiness is something many of us have experienced -- I wish I'd known that at the time since my withdrawal-based moodiness had something to do with the utter implosion of my relationship after my diagnosis. It will pass, however, so just hang in there and remember that you may be overreacting to things for a while.

For anyone who's been wondering, by the way, that relationship is definitively over -- which really has nothing to do with my illness, as I've recently discovered. I did my best to take responsibility for the ways in which my health might have complicated matters between us, but it turns out we needed more than one person giving it their best shot to make it work.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I have been gluten-free for one week and I have had a migrane, been realy tired and crabby. I have a hard time coping with my normal busy schedule, work 1/2 time,, 3 kids under 6, the housework and feeding everyone (2 gluten-free and 3 not gluten-free). I'm hoping I will feel better soon and pull myself together! I'm so used to being the rock of the family it has been hard! I feel guilty about not having the enery to play with my kids!

Sometimes rocks need to be pampered as well -- don't be too hard on yourself -- you'll be a much better rock when you're feeling healthy and relaxed!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
