Anxiety And Celiac

What medication or alternative treatments have you used for Major anxiety. I have just started pristiq although already got major constipation, for the first time since going gluten-free. I suffered major constipation prior to diagnoses, I have looked up most meds for anxiety and they all seem to have a side effect of constipation.

Magnesium. In the book "The Magnesium Miracle" it lays out very convincing evidence that anxiety can be caused by magnesium deficiency. Plus, magnesium will help counter-act the constipation from your medicine.

After going gluten free I have noticed a significant change in my moods. My anxiety, wild mood swings, depression, mania and mild ocd tendencies have all resolved.

I have also read that magnesium helps with relieving anxiety symptoms.

I am glad to stumble on this thread. I have had problems with anxiety for the last several months and I hope that the magnesium and calcium supplement I take will help. And it is good to hear that the gluten-free diet helps as well. Right now i think I am having withdrawals from dairy so I have been having a big more anxiety right now. I have been gluten-free for 3 1/2 weeks and dairy free for a few days. I hope I will see a difference because I hate anxiety.

Vitamin B deficiencies can also cause anxiety.

Exercising should also help a lot too.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
