How Long Is It Before You Feel The Emotional Effects Of Being Glutenened?

I was curious - how long does it take all of you to feel the emotional effects of being glutened? I got glutened this morning by a bowl of Kix which I believe must have had cross contamination. It's 3 pm now, and I've been feeling teary and depressed already. Whenever I'm accidentally glutened it usually takes a few hours for me to feel awful. I know there's been alot of talk about Kix and if it is gluten free or not. I won't be trying Kix again until if and when they officially label it as gluten free! This is horrible. Once I feel like this it takes at least a week for me to feel better again!

I know exactly what you are talking about. Within a few hours of being glutened I get teary and emotionally erratic. It settles down a bit after a few days, but I still feel some effect for several weeks. It took me a while to realise this, so now I know to go easy on myself for a while after.

I get like that too just a few hours after being glutened. It took me a few times to realize that was the connection. Not only do I get the depression and sadness part of it, but I overreact, I become very irrational, and very irritable. I'm very lucky my boyfriend understands and loves me so much because there have been a couple times where I've accidently been glutened and the poor guy has to deal with my irritability and anger for a week. It takes me about a week to get everything back out of my system. The scary thing for me the first few times was that I could not control my feelings AT ALL!

Thank you for all of your replies. Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I also become very irritable as well as teary and anxious. My husband can tell when I've been glutened before I even tell him when I suspect I have been accidentally glutened. I'm just starting to feel less teary as of today since my last post, but I'm still feeling a bit off. Hopefully I'll feel back to normal in a few more days. :)

Wow this is interesting, its making me wonder if i have been accidentally gluten and not noticed, I have had days recently when I have felt like this and my anxiety just got worse for a week or so with no real reasoning behind it. I am usually quite careful but this has given me something to think about.

I've suspected that my depression results from ingesting gluten. Ate some blue cheese the other day and have been on a downward spiral ever since. I've already been under a lot of stress, but I think the gluten has exacerbated my emotions. I've been taking my Zoloft again just to take the edge off them; I feel so raw and catatonic. The thing I really hate about accidentally ingesting gluten is that I feel like I have to solve certain problems in my life, when it is the gluten that is blowing everything out of proportion. So my life is basically on hold until I bounce back into reality. Sheesh.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
