Hanging In There Against The Depression And Anxiety


GF Grammy

Recommended Posts

GF Grammy Newbie

I have had Celiac for years but was only diagnosed recently. I have been reading posts for several weeks and learning more and more. I am grateful for all of the insight and help I received from this forum. I have never had problems with moods or depression until removing gluten from my diet. This is as difficult as the pain is to deal with.

My oldest son was diagnosed with Celiac several years ago. My symptoms were SO different from his that I had no idea that I was suffering with the same thing. He has just posted a song on YouTube that fits how I am feeling with the struggle right now. It is Martina McBride's Anyway. May it encourage all who chose to listen. Open Original Shared Link

Both my daughter and I suffer from depression when we are glutened, mine is mild hers is pretty severe. She also has panic attacks and we are hoping that the longer she is gluten-free (she's only been doing it a couple of months, at 16 she "goofs" a lot) the fewer panic attacks she will have. Its very difficult to go thru.

I have only been gluten free for about 6 weeks and I have been so darn depressed lately. I think it has only hit me recently that this is a complete life change. Combine this with feeling sick all the time and not being able to exercise.

I have heard people say that depression symptoms ease with the gluten-free diet, I guess I'm just waiting for that to kick in. I feel so bad for my fiance who is so patient with me, he could be out having fun but instead is lounging around the house getting bored because I don't want to o anywhere. sigh :(

You need Green Magma in order to attack depression associated with celiac disease.

It worked on me and when my nephew first got depression it worked on him. It takes

24 hours for it to kick in and then energy level shoots way up. Check health stores

for it but not a GNC. Go to Open Original Shared Link and it

should be listed there.

Umm, that has barley in it! I would not eat/take/drink that stuff because it has gluten in it!

That has barley grass and it is certified gluten free and says so right on the label.

yep,

Because its has sprouted and is no longer a grain, it no longer has gluten. No grasses contain gluten as far as I am aware. I used to take something similar in the form of gluten free powdered wheat grass. Must admit it did help the energy levels.

My husband never suffered from depression and anxiety, until after he removed gluten from his diet. Whenever he accidentally is "glutened" he is absolutely unbearably miserable!! It is a hard thing to go through, and I saw the post on the green magma. I will check this out for him! This site is so helpful for dealing with all the stuff that goes along with gluten intolerance. When my husband was diagnosed, we were told, " just don't eat gluten" and given a list of acceptable and unacceptable foods. That was it. This website has been so helpful!

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!

      It's great that this business has celiac disease awareness and uses gluten-free oats! I wish more restaurants would make such simple changes, for example if Asian restaurants switched to using gluten-free soy sauce, many (but not all!) risks would be eliminated for lots of their dishes. My daughter works at a Vietnamese restaurant where the owner is keenly aware of celiacs, and he has made the switch to gluten-free soy and fish sauces.

      It sounds like you’ve been doing everything right—strictly avoiding gluten, managing food allergies, and advocating for yourself—yet you’re still dealing with severe pain, exhaustion, and other debilitating symptoms. The fact that your colonoscopy came back clear after 31 years gluten-free is a testament to your diligence, but it doesn’t erase the very real struggles you’re facing daily. It’s concerning that previous doctors dismissed your celiac diagnosis, and now you’re left fighting for validation while dealing with unexplained symptoms like eye pressure, skin issues, and relentless pain. Menopause and long COVID may be complicating things further, making it even harder to pinpoint...

      Could you be having acid reflux? I used to get it soooo bad before I was diagnosed, now very rarely. I didnt have stomach upset, aka silent reflux, but pain in chest (thought I was having a heart attack) and food would get stuck from the esophagus irritation. The things here really helped, especially raising head of bed, sip of apple cider vinegar before meals with protein, heel thumping, and until it healed, taking DGL after meals to coat...do NOT take antacids https://drjockers.com/acid-reflux/ DGL https://www.amazon.com/Integrative-Therapeutics-Rhizinate-Deglycyrrhizinated-Licorice/dp/B001WUC406/

      Studies have shown that individuals with canker sores tend to have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood compared to those without the condition. This suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be a risk factor for developing canker sores.  Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac Disease.
