Anxiety Gone In Less Than 24 Hours?

I have been gluten free (self-diagnosed) for over a month now, but the biggest mental change I have noticed is that I no long have high anxiety. It cleared up overnight. Of course I still worry about some stuff like "normal" people do, but nothing like I did before. I was spending all day worrying about stuff that might not even happen. It was driving me crazy! LOL

Is it unusual for anxiety to go away that fast? My sleepiness/fatique cleared up just as fast.

Some people experience quick and dramatic recovery after going gluten-free, and others take longer.

Welcome to the board.

Welcome to the board.

Thanks for the welcome. Does this sound like I am only slightly gluten intolerant - the fact those two things cleared up so fast?

What I mean by that is not even close to being celiac as far as damage goes? Maybe I caught it early?

Saying that I was diagnosed with IBS when I was a teenager and have always been tired. used to fall asleep at work, which is why i work from home now - easy to catnap LOL

Thats fantastic news!! Congratulations!

I've been Gluten Free for about a month now and the first week my anxiety went absolutely through the roof... must have been some sort of withdrawal I think. Since then howeer I think things have improved (certainly better than that first week anyway!!). I've also started taking Vit B which really helps. I'm hopeful for continued improvement :)

Really pleased for you! Dont question WHY its happened... just be happy that it has :)

Mmmmm, I was so far gone when I stopped eating wheat (didn't even know about gluten then) that my family thought I was dying, and my 'episodes' stopped overnight. Some people just respond really fast, others take months. It's hard to draw the line between gluten intolerant and Celiac, as so many of the tests are so completely unreliable. I personally don't think there is much difference, you're hurting yourself just as much when you're 'gluten intolerant' as when you're 'celiac'. I actually have Celiac, I get the rash (dermatitis herpetiformis, DH) when I'm glutened, you can't get the rash unless you have CELIAC (all caps!). This doesn't have anything to do with you, but I kind of wish people would stop quibbling over the difference. Gluten intolerance isn't like lactose intolerance, you don't just take a pill or 'deal with it', you stop eating gluten. Because you never know whether it's celiac or could be soon. Gluten intolerance isn't 'less' than celiac, so you can't be 'less' careful.

Hi:

I am new to this board and I am not even sure I am replying in the correct place...so forgive me if I am not. I was just diagnosed as having a gluten sensitivity (do not know if I am celiac). I haven't had any gluten since this past Monday night and my doctor did not tell me there could be potential withdrawal symptoms. I have been feeling horrible over the last few days...headaches, irritability, severe fatigue, etc. Has anyone had this? I know everyone is different and we can all experience these things differently.

I was also told that my candida is back and I thought I was done with that...so there is alot of stuff going on...

Thanks,

Teri

Hi Teri, I'm glad you found us!

A lot of people have withdrawal symptoms, but then, a lot of people don't...

Try out the search functions on the board and look for 'withdrawal' and 'candida' too find threads about these subjects.

That is great news for you congrats,

Its funny my Anxiety started when I was going through the diagnoses, I think it was all due to the worry or finding out if I had Coeliac Disease and also the related and associated illnesses that are linked with Celiac, and then it just kept snowballing, I am still suffering bad anxiety and it been 6 months gluten free. My poor husband.

It really does all affect everyone so different. I agree dont ask why just be so thankful you are feeling better. Sounds like the gluten-free diet is working well for you.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
