Mood Swings After Contamination?

I don't typically HAVE mood swings more than female issues. Like, ever. The other day, mom had to go to the WIC office after she got me from work. I planned fast food for lunch and we stoppe at taco bell (warning: don't get the Nachos Belle Grande even without meat. They aren't safe andante all locations. I can't even imagine what the difference is!).

So that was last week. I had some pain yesterday (my issues are joint issues) and this is my worst contamination issue since nov 2010.

The real issue comes: I've had some major mood swings. I can go from perfectly content to nearly crying in 10 seconds flat for seemingly nothing. And I don't normally cry ever muchless on a dime.

So are mood swings part of a major contamination issue?

I would say they definitely are. I usually don't get very emotional though, I just get very cranky and pissed off.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the diet or just the fact that I'm actually growing up, but I have noticed in general I have become a much more empathetic and emotional person. I literally never used to cry and I've lost it a couple times these past few years. The whole GI tract is strongly linked to the brain, in ways we do not yet understand.

Yes, I also have a recurrence of joint pain, anxiety, neurological issues, cognitive impairment, insomnia and a major swing in moods when I am CCed. I hate that part the most.

I call it the return of the seven dwarves: weepy, cranky, racy, spacey, dopey, angry and achy. <_<:lol:

Not my personality at all to be in such a funky mood and this is how I know I have been "hit". :rolleyes:

Drink a lot of water and ride it out.

Tell yourself you know what it is and that you're going to get past it in time.

Hope you feel better soon!

Eating soy makes me self-harmingly depressed within hours. I had crazy mood swings constantly before going gluten-free. If the antibodies end up in your brain, well. so it goes.

don't eat at taco bell, my friend.

Oh yes!!! You could touch me wrong and I'd probably be on your case about it after being cc'd or glutened. :unsure: All of the not so great emotions, irritability, sadness, impatience, frustration ALL seem to attack at once and leave me essentially out of commission for about a week. It's almost like being a werewolf on the night of a full moon. :ph34r:

Definitely. There is a reason the Vikings ate the moldy rye bread before their rampages dear. It really is not a nice place to be.

Interestingly I am discovering amines from aged food affects me similarly.

I guess its a no brainer--take your own food! No Taco Bell!! Ding Ding!!

That sounds to me like you might have an underactive thyroid. When is the last time you had a thyroid panel done? If it has been more than 6 months, I recommend asking your doctor to run one. It's a very simple blood test. If you have hypothyroidism, a small pill once a day will make you feel A LOT better! Good luck!

This is totally me too, though I get depression (really really bad) instead of anxiety (at least hardly ever). Though there are some times I get anxiety. I find it much worse than the GI symptoms I get.

Me, too. :rolleyes: The GI stuff passes quickly (pun intended) :)

but the ucky "gluten head" (as I call it) takes a while to subside and I do not like that part at all. UGH! :unsure:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
