Yes, I do get anxious after eating gluten. Not every time, but often. Sometimes comes after D, sometimes before, rarely without any D at all. It's like my brain goes ADHD and everything makes me a bit nervous or cranky. I make bad decisions - or no decisions at all. Luckily the anxiety doesn't usually last more than 36 hrs or so. And 8 or 12 hrs in I usually realize what's going on and can anticipate a bit (like, focus on very discrete tasks).

I get really bad anxiety after a glutening. I get shaky and what my fiance calls "crazy-eyed".

Anxiety was actually the symptom my doctor saw that caused her to test for celiac, oddly enough.

I accidentally got glutened on Sunday at breakfast (restaurant) and spent the entire day reading in bed. I was exhausted, irritable/cranky, anxious, and didn't want to be around humans (lol). My fatigue and anxiety usually last for 4 days, getting a little better each day (I'm at about 80% today).

Yes, anxiety has been described as being related to celiac disease and I've read a lot about people experiencing anxiety after being glutened. Everyone seems to get better at a different rate depending on their level of sensitivity and I hope you feel better quickly :)

I was an anxious mess during my gluten challenge. Not sure if it was the wacky symptoms that cropped up or anxiety in itself. I use passionflower.

Our gut hosts the same neurotransmitters our brain does. GABA is involved in anxiety and is also in your gut.

Its really funny to read this right now because I just now joined the forum and its because I'm feeling so anxious at the moment.

There was a hurricane warning this afternoon so the family had to camp out at a nearby Buffet.

Big. Mistake.

I barely ate anything at all-actually got chastised for so much wasted food- and even then somehow some way I can't fathom, between ribs, rice, corn, spaghetti sauce, and ice cream I ate gluten. 

The ammount of self-directed-anger I feel when this happens is reflective of how messed up my mind gets. Its incredible how skewed my perspective becomes after a glutening. Everything is darkness, problems are blown way out of proportion, my anxiety is unbelievable, and I get heart palpitations allong with tremors. The worst is feeling my brain-im being serious here-swell. Slowly but surely right after the allergic dry couph goes away the vice like grip of a headache sets in and doesnt go away for about 3 days. I now know its inflamation. 

But anyways no its totally normal.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
