Anxiety Disorder

Is this as a result of eating gluten?

[Blessings]

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. 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.
