Depression After A Glutening


GFreeMO

Recommended Posts

I got glutened on Saturday night from CC from a restaurant. I am wondering with in addition to the gastro, joint, fatigue etc. if anyone gets severe depression from gluten. I usually am a very upbeat person but when I get glutened, I cry for days and feel sorry for myself and feel hopeless. Is this common at all?

Yes, I get depressed and anxious. Sorry to hear you're feeling so under the weather. :( Extra vitamins help me and I'll often drink some Emergen-C or get a fruit smoothie that has a bunch of B vitamins.

All the flavors of Emergen-C are gluten-free now.

that is totally my soya symptom. I would imagine it would be the same for gluten as well.

Oh yes...anxiety, depressive thoughts, fog head, agitation, C or D---and insomnia. Never fatigued. Totally opposite my personality--wound up like a clock. The worst symptom is the ramped up nerve pain and bone pain. I am on FIRE. Awful.

I drink a lot of EXTRA water to flush my system, take some extra Vit. C, extra probiotics and I have used activated charcoal tablets. I eat brown rice and fibrous veggies to move things, if you get my drift. :rolleyes:

Above all else, tell yourself, "I know what this is and it is going to pass." Take it easy on yourself for a day or two. If you can exercise, go for a walk and get some fresh air. I know it sucks, hun, but you're going to be okay. ((hug))

I haven't been glutened much, but I do feel sad or emotional when I do. A commercial on TV can make me cry.

I get very very depressed when I get glutened. It usually lasts about three days. I think it is one of the hardest symptoms for me to deal with.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
