Depression After A Glutening

[GFreeMO]

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?

[Skylark]

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.

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.
