Irritability And Gluten

Hi,

I'm brand new here - my 8 y.o. daughter was just recently diagnosed gluten sensitive through Enterolab, and we have started a gluten-free diet. Her only symptoms have been belly aches, and we would have never even considered gluten sensitivity except that she had been having some severe irritability and we started exploring possible causes. Have any of you had a similar experience and if so, how long should it take for the irritability/mood problems to improve?

Thanks for any input you might have!

Before I was gluten-free I was highly irritable. I believe it took about a month for this to clear up. I think mostly stemmed from not feeling well.

Hi Karen,

Wow she sounds just like my daughter. The belly aches were her main sympton along with being very moody. I can't pinpoint exactly when her irritability got better, but over the last few months it seems like every day is a little better. Although when she got glutened this summer, her behavior was what tipped us off, completely irrational reactions to anything she didn't like. Hang in there and know that it does get better.

As another point (not to freak you out like it did us), the GI doc said that the moods could partially be caused by hormonal changes gearing up for puberty, I prefer to remain in denial about that whole topic so I blame the gluten.

We're about 3 weeks into the diet now (that is, with mistakes along the way!), and things do seem even a little better.

I don't even want to think about hormonal changes at this point either!

Thanks for the responses! It is really helpful to know others are experiencing similar issues.

Karen

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
