Depression


luceemarie21

Recommended Posts

I have been diagnosed with celiac disease for over 2 years and I have been suffering ever since with depression. I am having problems finding an antidepressant that does not contain any wheat or gluten. I am currently taking St Johns Wart but I do not feel that these are having an effect. Please could someone recommend an antidepressant that they have had success with taking.

Hope someone can help

I have been taking Zoloft. I won't say that it cures all of the depression, but I take a small dose and I really don't want to increase the amount that I take. I have read on here that Zoloft can casuse Collangeous Colitis, but the doctor says that he doesn't believe this to be true. I have developed Microscopic Colitis, since I have been taking it, but it may not have anything to do with the Zoloft. Good Luck!

paxil and xanax are gluten free too--i have taken both---its normal to be depressed too--its a lifestyle change we have to make and we mourn food--i read that we celiacs are addicted to gluten and we crave it--dont feel alone--you have to look at the plus side of things--you are alive--going gluten-free you are lowering your chance of stomach cancer, there is still a wide variety of foods you can eat and food definately does not keep us from having a good time--live life one day at a time--dont live for tomorrow, live for today and remember, we celiacs can do anything that anyone else does--we can be just as healthy, with some hard work--keep your chin up----deb

I'm currently taking Zoloft 50mg. My GI doctor suggested I take Zoloft also since the serotonin is not only utilized by the brain but the GI tract as well. I never heard of that before but hey.....I'm not a doctor (although I feel like I'm studying to be one sometimes!)

WellbutrinXL is gluten-free and has very few side effects.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
