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.

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
