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 getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
