Sad :(

I've been gluten free going on a year. Having my first glutening in about 7 months and I ain't liking the reminder. On & off the toilet all afternoon, had to have a 3 hour sleep this arvy (and only got up to do dinner for my son). But the worst thing is feeling so damn sad. That stuff plays with my brain worse than the rest (and my DH is pretty bad still!). I hate the feeling in your brain like there's really not much good going on. Having Liam repeat everything he says to me twice (at least) which isn't much fun at homework time!! Yesterday I was happy as larry. Ugghh I hope this is a short one.

I'm feeling deeply sad at the moment too. I don't know whether it's all part of the withdrawal or what but I feel like everything is completely empty and pointless and I don't know what to do about it.

It was a few months before I got over this. Hence the past few months feeling good and "free". It is achievable a nd the good life/feeling is there. Just takes time.

I am lucky that I see the good time ahead

Gluten sucks the life out of me and messes with my brain, too.

I am like you--I get the overwhelming sadness (and insomnia and anxiety and brain fog, racing in my heart and mind and a sensation like I am on LSD)if I am hit. I used to describe it as "someone pulling down the shade" on me. Totally opposite my personality to be that sad and moody and feeling lost.

I call this "Gluten Head Hell" and it was my life for 3 years before DX.

The best thing to do is tell yourself "Okay, you gluten bugger, I KNOW what this is and it's going to pass. All's well."

Drink a lot of water, hon--- and I hope you feel better soon.

(hugs)

I'm sorry. It sucks. I'm just now getting past the stomach and muscle cramps, myself.

It does get better, even though it's difficult to believe when you're feeling like you do. Hang in there and treat yourself to something special

Sorry to hear that! Gluten isn't my issue but I do have other food intolerances. I hate it when I screw up and accidentally eat something I shouldn't. I managed to save myself last week (or was it the week before?) when I flipped over a package to read the carb count, only to see that there was milk in the food. I had bought a different brand than what I had bought before and what I usually buy has no milk in. Must always remember to read every package label every time.

It's also annoying to be eating in a restaurant and get halfway through a salad and then find a crouton or a shred of cheese in there. Then I have to worry about possibly getting sick later. But I guess that is perhaps a bit better than eating out and then getting sick later and then not having a clue what it was that made you sick.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
