Depression And Celiac

I have been gluten free for 18 months. My stomach/intestinal pain is sooo much better. I occasionally get glutened by CC but other than that am pretty much okay digestive wise.

I am however struggling with depression. I have fibromyalgia in addition to celiac and most days I am in a lot of pain and am tired. In the summer months, I would get out and garden or sit outside and read, grill, play with my dogs etc. Ever since the weather has gotten cold, I find myself laying in front of the TV all day and night. My husband and I use to get out and go out to lunch every Saturday. Now that we can no longer do that, we don't get out much at all.

We recently moved from Colorado where there was so much to do and so many things to see that I find myself not knowing what to do with my time or what to do to get out of the house. We haven't really met anyone here and when we do meet someone new, they always want to go to dinner and well...you know how that all goes....I'm not depressed as in needing meds or needing to see someone, I am just in a lot of pain from fibro and the darn celiac makes it so hard to be sociable. Any ideas or anyone going through anything similar?

Thanks :)

I don't know if this will help you at all, but personally I like to go bowling (I'm not very good though). I think it's a pretty fun way to get to know someone new. You still have something to do besides sit and stare at one another through awkward silences. Hiking is also fun, and if you have a dog, I have found that dog parks are a great way to meet people and all those friendly furry puppies tend to make me feel all warm and fuzzy. lol.

If your in a big city there may be a page on facebook of things to do. There is a really great on for Nashville.

Good Luck!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
