Depression Symptoms

Hi there,

I don't often turn to the gluten free forum- but it's been a friend in the past! So here goes...

On Saturday I had a friend visit from out of town. We went to a great sushi restaurant and she was so excited to see the tasting menu that we HAD to try it. I skipped the miso soup starter- and had my own gluten-free soy sauce with me- but I know there must have been some fish marinated in soy sauce at some point along the line...

It is now Tuesday night and I have never felt so depressed. My guts are gurgling and I can barely lift my arms. My usual solution is to GET UP and GET OUT to shake off my symptoms- but I can't even do that...

Does anyone else have reactions this late- and so depressing.? I really just can't motivate myself in any way- and I don't want to believe that it's ME; I want to believe that it's the disease.

Has anyone else felt like this...???

Thank you so much for being there.

My depression usually shows up a little bit sooner and it shows up hard. In my case the actual 'life is not worth living' part lifts within a day or so but the exhaustion and other stuff last much longer. Your not alone in this reaction. It amazes me sometimes just how much of a neurotoxin gluten can be. I hope you feel better soon.

The "guts gurgling", "can barely lift my arms" and depression are all symptoms I always got from being glutened. I think it's a safe bet that you were glutened somehow. I'd heard that the longer you're off gluten, the heavier the reaction is if you consume it again, because your body is still building antibodies against it. It's an autoimmune disorder after all.

Just hold out hope for that experimental vaccine that's being worked on in Australia! I believe that we WILL see it released in our lifetime (it's in Phase 1 testing already).

Btw, I have heard that eating digestive enzymes ahead of time helps your body process accidental gluten better, and can prevent symptoms. Just something to keep in mind if you're ever not sure whether to try a new food or eat at a restaurant. Just be aware that supposedly, they may have side effects if your gut hasn't fully healed yet when you try taking them.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
