Anxiety

I had really bad anxiety before I stopped eating gluten. I developed it when I started seeing other symptoms. It has improved a lot since I stopped eating gluten 3 months ago but I still feel mildy anxious a lot of the time. It is a physical nervous/anxious feeling and it is accompanied by nausea about 90% of the time.

I know that anxiety can be related to celiac disease and GS and I am wondering if I can expect this to go away eventually? I think it is caused by a nutritional deficiency or something. I hate waking up every morning feeling nervous. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and whether your anxiety finally got better after the "6-12 month" healing time. Is this just one of those things that "takes awhile" to go away?

Anxiety was a tough one for me. I was anxious to the point of panic attacks before going gluten-free. I saw gradual improvement on the diet, but I would say it was 18 months before I "turned a corner" with the anxiety.

After 4 years, it still comes back when I accidently get glutened. I always feel like it's there, lurking, ready to come out. I think some of that is the memory of how I would feel in certain situations and the fear that I was going to get sick.

It does get better though :)

Hi, I am now 2 years gluten and dairy free and I can totally relate to your story. It did improve slowly, but I was still struggling with morning anxiety. My doctor recommended something called the Alpha-Stim SCS. In two weeks I feel better than I have in years. I really believe gluten was the cause of my original anxiety and panic and I think the combination of diet and using this device is pretty terrific. I don't work for the company or make money, etc... I just can't believe it can help the morning anxiety as much as it has. It is 100% gone after using the device and staying on my gluten/casein free diet. Take care.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
