7 Weeks gluten-free

So I've noticed after 7 weeks or so (ok, I did cheat and have a cookie) I feel a dramatic decrease in feelings of stress, tension, anxiety and a nice increase in feelings of well being.

I feel calmer, more in control, more upbeat, more focused. Work crap doesn't bother me that much. Yeah things will piss me off and I'll get upset, but I seem to bounce back much much quicker.

I guess I didn't really equate the way I was feeling with what I was eating, but it sure was making a difference.

So um like is this all in my head:) Anyone else experience this?

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am 6 weeks gluten free and now feel like I have more energy. I used to be tired all the time, thought that it was normal, now I have so much more energy. Because of this, I feel I am better able to deal with stress and seem to be more tolerant.

Good luck and congrats on 7 weeks gluten free! :rolleyes:

P.S. I made the best pinapple upside down cake the other day. It tasted so good! The first baked good in 6 weeks. The recipe was in The Gluten Free Gourmet Makes Desert. I highly recommend it, it wasn't hard to make either!

I hope when i reach 6 and 7 weeks i feel so much better. I have been having very little energy this week, but i think it is more cause i mourn no more cheese lol. And the weather has been nice, then snow, then rain, then nice, it kinda makes u tired lol

congrats to both of you to feeling better.

Yes.

All my compulsive (except one stupid one) urges are gone. I can actually sit & relax & enjoy a moment

Congratulations Jerry--keep it up. Might I add, what a beautiful picture of you and the kids. I was thinking you said your kids were older, maybe I am remembering wrong--who is in the pic with you? The little guy looks like you.

Congrats Jerry, I know you've had your struggles along the way, but I think you can honestly see now that it was well worth it.

I also have noticed dramatic decreases in stress and anxiety in my 7 gluten free weeks.Just today at work when the wheels were coming off, I kept my head and it didn't even bother me. I hadn't even realized I had been in a stressful situation until about an hour later. Two months ago I would have been flying around the office calling everyone morons.

They're still morons, but I tell them diplomatically and privately now instead of lumping them all together in one big outburst B)

Keep up the good work man!

I went gluten-free in January 2007 and I honestly cannot believe the difference. I cannot even begin to fathom how I survived before cutting poison out of my diet! I don't know if it's the vitamins (B12 shot and oral supplements), the improvement in my sleep or the peace of mind of just knowing what's wrong with me, but I'm loving life now!! It's an adventure for me to find new foods and recipes to try...although it is expensive...but worth it! :) I've found this forum to be really inspirational for me too since finding out! I've done a lot of reading over the past few months and have learned SOOO much!

I have been gluten-free for four months now. Initially, (through the holidays mostly) I felt incredibly good. I actually noticed how incredibly good and happy I felt. Which was in such contrast to all these year of dealing with life on or around a toilet everyday... geesh.

Then I hit a rough patch for a month or so, I was getting sick from something once every week or two -- which I gotta say is way down from 3-4 days every week, but I realized after feeling so good how mentally intolerant I became of even an occasional bad day. Now I have gone a full 7 weeks with only one bad day -- and I feel great.

It is really cool to feel so good, after feeling so "rotten" for so long.

Congrats on feeling so great -- it's a new life!!!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      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.
