DD turned 10 in Aug. and found out 3 yrs. ago that she had celiac disease. But in the past month she has had 3 crying spells. Would this have to do with celiac disease or puberty??? I know they say depression, concentration problems and so on are things that can occur with celiac disease but is that so being off of wheat and gluten or only while you're eating wheat/gluten??

Thanks so much!!!!

Is it possible she could have been glutened somehow? My 8 year old gets extremely moody and emotional if he's had gluten, even a small amount. The smallest thing will set him into a crying spell. If that's not it, it could possibly be hormonal changes/puberty approaching. It seems to start so much earlier with girls these days. Good luck, having an emotional child can be very trying, lol.

Thanks! Isn't that so weird how gluten can affect someone. Well I don't think she's accidentally had gluten. She wouldn't cheat either. She went thru a lot of pain before being diagnosed and doesn't want to go thru anything like that again. It would've been accidental if she had been glutened. Maybe it's just horomones. Let the fun began, if it is horomones. ha ha....

Yes, let the fun begin. My girls are adults now but I can sure remember. At age 10 and female, all the girls are attempting to be on the top of the pile, at all cost. Friends get betrayed, talking behind your back and no regard for feelings. Then the herd mentality kicks in. If you're out with one, baby, you're out with all. It's an awful, awful time for these young people.

Self-confidence and a stong interest in a personal hobby or sport will help quite a bit.

sclark,

If it is potentially gluten related, two scenarios:

1. If she is getting a low but consistent amount of gluten, and you might not know that she is, it might be worth it to have the full Celiac blood panel run, just to make sure. If you haven't had her Celiac blood work run in awhile, it might be good just to ensure that she is doing well.

2. It could be due to small amounts of gluten (specific incidents)...many on here report mood disturbances when glutened.

Is she eating out? Are you careful of cross contamination at home--Separate butters, mayos, cream cheese, etc? Separate toasters?

(I just wanted to provide the gluten side of this....but it just as easily could be hormones!)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
