Mood Swings After Contamination?


PadmeMaster

Recommended Posts

PadmeMaster Apprentice

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?

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:

Yes. I hope you get over it soon.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
