My boyfriend is celiac. He sometimes has a problem with lying. He lies to me, his friends, his mom, sometimes without realizing. Then, when I confront him, he tells me its the gluten? I don't really buy it, but I'd like to know if there is, in fact, any substance to that.....help?

Celiac is associated with depression, anxiety and possibly other mental illnesses. I have never heard of it causing people to lie though. What is he lying about? Some people will lie to get out of trouble. Some will lie to make themselves seem more important. Some will lie to make it seem their world is better than it is. Have you suggested counseling? It would be a good idea to figure out why he is less than truthful. It would be good if he can break this habit because eventually no one will believe anything he says even if it is the truth.

Don't buy it. He can't use it as an excuse for everything.

Is he on the gluten-free diet? If so, then he isn't getting any gluten to cause anything except an occasional accident. If he isn't but is diagnosed with celiac disease, he has a lot of psychological issues besides lying.

Lol thanks so much. Like I said, I didn't buy it. He is just starting a strict gluten-free diet, now. i offered to get him help. He's been a lot better about it the past few months, but I was just curious. He told me that the gluten causes his mind to cloud and he couldn't make decisions like normal, but my response was that he couldn't blame everything on gluten, and that if that was the problem, he should stop eating it....just an extra reason lol. He was lying about typical 19 year old boy things....where he was going or had been, who he was with. We ended up breaking up over it, but were trying again, and now he's taking care of himself, and I'm making sure. No excuses now.:)

He is young. There is some growing up still for a 20 year old guy. Good luck, Hon!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.
