Is this as a result of eating gluten?

Definate! Shortly after I started the gluten-free diet we were at Sam's Club shopping and I went back to grab something we forgot. My hubby and son decided to go look for other things and I couldn't find them. I had my first panic attack. :( I was in tears when I finally found them and they were just moseying around looking at stuff. My hubby felt so bad that the next time we were in Wal Mart I went down to get beans and he stayed where he was. Well I ended up all over the store looking for him and finally took my stuff out to the car and waited 15 minutes before I went back in to look for him. He was afraid to move and was waiting for me. Thank God I was having a great day and no worry. :D It was so funny. It does get better.

I usually get a sudden drop into a depression about 4 days into a glutening. I have been doing great for a few month as far as not getting glutened. Just started the diet in March.

Good Luck to you1

God Bless,

As was stated, anxiety can and does happen with Celiac. Two things which can help quite a lot are a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) supplement, and magnesium. Both are tremendously important for brain and nerve function, as well as untold other things. Obviously, the most important thing is to not ingest any gluten.

Some people are just born with a tendency to be anxious and worried. And the stressors of life can overwhelm them at times----causing greater anxiety and worry-------

"They say" anxiety can also be result of serotonin imbalance. (which can be linked to celiac disease, if I remember right, there are many serotonin receptors in the gut )

Melatonin is also important for proper neurological function, and its production depends on B12 too.

      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.

      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 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?

      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 Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      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 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.
