Irritablity


Guest spruette

I keep having these fits, like I get very irritated very easily. I was diagnosed with celiac disease last week. I was very malnourished by judging from the color of my eyes and skin and the weight I lost so quickly. I heard that Vitamin B 12 or something is for that same thing. Could I have been losing enough B-12 to make me this irritable. It never lasts, but every once in a while, I just get so snippy with my husband I don't even know why. :o What can I do to help it? Take more vitamin b or a multi vitamin - not sure how to do any of this, as I said I was just diagnosed last week. I just want some of my tension to go away so I laugh more like I used to instead of snapping at my poor husband. Any help is appreciated. ;)

During my first year of gluten-free, when I posioned myself I would get very iritable beginning a few days after the incident, lasting for 3-5 days.

Irritbility goes away in about 3 months after gluten-free. I was irritated over noises,

car pulling up to me at lights, etc Not normal irritation to say the least. YOur husband is going to be so happy in 90 days. My husband can't beleive the difference in me, esp during PMS which has pretty much disappeared.

Well, I'm happy to read this! My two year old son and husband have both been especially irritable during the past week, they've been gluten-free since January 1. I allowed my son to eat gluten over the weekend and it only made his tantrums worse. It's a relief to realize that the issues are relating back to gluten, which is what I suspected to begin with.

i have found that a b complex vitamin helps me immensely. if i miss a couple of days, i really feel it. i get really moody. you could try a good b complex and see if that helps. i've had good luck with the costco vitamins-kirkland signature. they say whether they are gluten free.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
