Do You Feel More Weepy When Glutened?

I got into some gluten, I'm pretty sure I know how. I've been so sick all afternoon and in so much pain! I've had random crying spells that are not like me. Do any of you feel more weepy when glutened? I don't know how I endured this much pain before going gluten-free. Who would think food has so much control of our bodies? I now know food changes everything we are. How we feel, think and function.

Yes! One day after having a bite of bread on accident I was weepy and depressed for the rest of the day and the next. (although some of that might have been pure anxiety since I knew what happened).

I also get really weepy and depressed when I have soy so to me gluten and soy seem related.

yes of course (you can see my whimpering post from earlier today...). But I attribute it to the psychological aspects of the disease - frustration, lack of control, etc...

Yes, I lose control of my emotions. I just can't cope with things that would normally be only mildly irritating. If I have consumed gluten then I wake up crying in the morning, I cry on the bus, I cry in the bathroom at work, I cry if someone pushes in front of me in a line, if a student doesn't pay attention..... Friends have found me wandering the streets weeping and taken me home. Even though I know exactly why its happening, I still can't control it. But the people close to me are used to it, and they and I know not to take me seriously when I'm like that, it wears off in a day or two!

Me too. I cry when someone speaks to me even in love and concern. I find everything profoundly sad when I am glutened.

Yes - I get very emotional and generally feel depressed/weepy. Also get a very short fuse and am irritated by EVERYTHING. Just ask my fiance - he can always tell when I ate something because of my emotional response.

DITTO on the weeping, rage, irritability, feeling "overwhelmed", frightened and anxious, agitated ...it's pretty weird... and before I KNEW what was causing it, I was pretty worried I was going mad :unsure: --as these things are NOT my usual personality. I found even the neighbor's dog barking made me pissed off!! I kept trying to figure out what the hell was going on!!I even went to a shrink!!!--and insisted I wasn't like this--something was making me feel this way. And you know what SHE said? Hey, do you have any food intolerances???? :blink: THAT got me thinking...and led me --a year and a half later, baffled doctors, erroneous testing and misdiagnoses--towards a REAL diagnosis.

They are doing a lot of research on the affect of gluten toxicity on brains.

WE could probably write the book on it :blink:

I sure notice a dramatic change --I call it "the curtain dropping"--- when I have been glutened--and it feels gloomy and awful.

That is a good outlet!! :) --It is good your muscle mass was not affected by the disease. I LIVE for the day I can work out again and swim. I am in so much pain right now and filled with knotty trigger points and restricted movement....I am hoping more months on the diet will help out my massive lost muscle mass and tone. (I dropped 90 lbs., rapidly with this thing) The PT thinks so and so do I!!

Keep at it, Mama!! ;)

Thanks everyone! I'm without power right now due to a really bad storm..day two. I'm struggling on eating. I lost all my food in my fridge, but managed to grill some meat last night. I'm eating fruit, gluten-free ceral bars(don't usually eat these) and some Jello. I cannot eat nuts and I'm trying to stay whole foods. I've got a lot to do after work today and have since thought about that emergency kit someone posted about! I'm going to keep more on hand.

I just got glutened (just felt the effects, anyway), and my god, I know what you mean. I was in the lounge of my residence hall reading something that I didn't like, and I noticed it irritated me more and more as time went by. Then I realized the pain in my sides was getting worse, and I marched back to my room, worried and frustrated. That soon became anger, and I threw my chair back down on the ground, smashed by fists against my desk. That soon turned to hopeless weeping, back to anger, back to weeping. Then it went into a lesser version of the pain, and I just stared blankly at my wall, wondering where this possibly could have come from. Then I was in the "distract myself with the internet" phase, and now I guess I'm in the "post it online" phase.

Short version: Yes, it makes me weepy and incredibly emotional (on the negative side).

Weepy, short tempered, self destructive and suicidal.

Last week got very 'dark' around here and I didn't know why.....it got to the point where I thought that I had finally had some sort of mental break that wasn't related to gluten. After 3 days of horrible horrible thoughts about running away and hurting myself, I told my husband I was going to the county mental health service and look into some sort of treatment/hospitalization...only then did he confess that he had prepared eggs for me with the community tub of margarine 3 or 4 days earlier. He should have known better, he had to have seen all of the bread crumbs in there when he was scooping it out...either he truly wasn't thinking or he was 'testing' me..he normally wouldn't made the effort to make food for anybody but himself...so I am leaning toward 'testing'.

I am starting to come out of it...knowing what is causing it makes it easier to deal with but every time it happens it gets worse than the time before..it's time to take the house gluten free...my husband refuses to even consider it. It's probably the gluten talking, but it might be time to consider divorce. I hope that I live in a no fault state...I'd hate to tell a judge that I am divorcing my husband over bread crumbs.

Pancake Sunday hating stacey,

I support your thought process. The fact that he refuses to consider (or even try to meet you in the middle) is something that you deem important for your health is a deal breaker. Who knows how much farther that lack of support for you goes. This whole process is tough as it is - the last thing you need is additional battles with people who are closest to you. You'd be ok telling a judge that you are divorcing your husband if he is poisoning you, right?

I would wait to make sure it was a pattern first, and not an isolated incident. Also, don't make any decisions regarding the future of such important relationships while still under the influence of gluten! It is like a drug.

But once you're gluten "sober" if this is a constant pattern and not a mistake/something he regrets and never will do again...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
