Food Intolerances/allergies And Anxiety

I have experienced a weird symptom that I wonder if any of you have had or know anything about.

It seems that when I have eaten a questionable food, I get this adrenaline surge feeling after eating and AND when I'm going to the bathroom (2). It's almost like an anxiety reaction, but purely physical. My heart doesn't race, but it feels like it is.

I've also been having anxiety and trembling guts that I think are food-intolerance/allergic reactions.

I've got an appt with a gastro, but not until April 5. This may be too long to wait! Do any of you think this is anything to be super concerned about, or would you wait for the appt? I may just see if I can get in with an internist sooner.

Thanks in advance for all input!!!

Yep, been there and done that. I was freaking out so bad about what I'd ate, I found myself not eating. The anxiety, for me, got so bad that I went to the doctor and was put on an anti-depressent which has really helped a lot. It's also helped any "IBS" issues I'd have, normally the minute I'm stressed out my stomach is off and running.

I don't know if you need to be super concerned, but I would recommend taking your diet down to very simple plain foods. Keep a food log so you can see if you're getting any trends in what you eat/bathroom/anxiety issues.

feel better!

Thanks for your input and understanding, Ev!! I have taken my diet down to just meats & veggies, but adding little things here and there seems to have proven my current intolerance to most other things. Sigh. Where are the days of eating pizza & stuff? lol It's better to not eat those things, I know, but I'm getting bored trying to figure out what I can eat!

I know what you mean about being afraid to eat and so not eating! That was me last week and I became weakened, which is not good either! Guess I'll be resolute in my current dietary needs and be diligent about documentation.

Take care!!

I read somewhere, don't remember where, that it takes the brain awhile to catch up to the body after a lengthy illness. The brains still reacting like it is allergic to something even though there is nothing causing a reaction.

Does that make any sense?

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
