I Am So Irritable

I just need to whine desperately.

I got off the "g" the first of the month so I am still up to my eyeballs in withdrawls & stuff

I get so grouchy when I eat something. Anything. And I am exhausted. Before I went off gluten my nervous system was jacked up from reacting to everything I ate, now my nervous system is at peace and I am so tired I feel like I could go to sleep and not wake up for like 5 years.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I am still eating vitamins and probiotics I went off coffee today and switched to green tea.

Do I have to just ride it out? I can't think of anything to do to make it better HAHAHA

I am sorry you aren't feeling well.

It can take a while for your body to adjust. Staying really well hydrated is very important, so is getting enough rest.

You may want to consider illuminating other foods from your diet while your body heals (dairy, corn, soy tend to be big problems for a lot of people during the transition).

Coffee is a big irritant, so that was a good move (although you can get grouchy with caffeine withdrawal as well)

Your body is doing a lot of hard work right now. You are probably tired and have every right to not feel well and be a little less than chipper.

Get as much rest as you can, keep eating good whole foods that can nourish your body. Its a phase and it won't be forever.

Hopefully someone else will chime in with some suggestions for getting over the hump.

Thank you mel for your support! I am feeling a little better today... I got glutened by a vitamin last week and I think it took my body a while to snap back as well. B)

I feel a bit Aristotelian (NOT my favorite philosopher, btw) in my response here, but your body is telling you that it isn't happy with what your head decided. Do not fear, your body will eventually catch up to what your head decided. In the meantime, as the middle child between two brothers, I can tell you that TORTURE of anyone who crosses paths with you is an excellent response, mind games are special fun. Please do not mention my name.

Hope you feel better soon!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Or you could just get some comedy DVD's to cheer you up, I recommend Robin Williams Live on Broadway.

Try to eat lots of avocado, it's good brain food. Oh, and at the health food store is a package of coconut macaroons by Jennie's, they're in a yellow canister. They're just coconut, eggs, and honey. They make good brain food too. And yummy.

THERE IS YOUR ANSWER. Just keep laughing. Anything you can do that keeps you laughing will keep up the mood. Laughter is the best medicine. Keep riding it out!

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
