Sudden Intense Mood Changes

Before going gluten-free a couple months ago, my 10 yo son was having tummy aches and anxiety at night. That got much better but now the anxiety is back. On top of this, he is getting huge mood swings with no obvious cause. All day today he was bouncing off the walls, almost in perpetual motion, though he did have a good piano lesson. Just now, though, he suddenly got scared, quiet, said he's dizzy and but can't explain it, had to lie down. I'm thinking it may be a blood sugar crash, but I just gave him rabbit, brown and wild rice, and green beans 2 hours ago.

Do you think he got glutened from touching the piano keys at his lesson about 7 hours ago and this crashing is a symptom?

I, myself, have been having huge, fast mood swings as well that seem to come out of nowhere. I've always struggled with my moods but usually the changes are not minute to minute or hour to hour. More weeks or months.

Mood swings are not unusual with celiac nor is the dizziness. It does sound like he may have been glutened but can't say where he may have gotten it. For some of us the reaction is delayed so it could have been something he ate a couple days ago that got him.
