I don't really see it as paranoia. Rather I'm just being smart. But the reason I want to know if others have an instant reaction to gluten is if it's not common then it could be a psychological thing. But to be able to tell practically instantly that I've been glutened would make it much easier to recognize the culprit food. Good for a disorganised person...

I need to talk about this again (and maybe rant). First I should say that I'm a 43yo male, undiagnosed, and due to other issues am living at my parents. I've been gluten free for a month now and during that time have been progressively getting better. I'd still occasionally have crap times so a few days ago I began getting more serious about CC - wiping down...

Seconded! Well that is what I'm thinking with me. As I mentioned I've had depression pretty much all my adult life. But psychs are having a hard time working out why I'm that way. After doing assessments I often get the "you have some very complex issues, but we don't know what they are" statement It's only been in the last few years that I've...

Ahh, thank you GFinDC. I had read the first article but not the second. Interesting about the pest resistance molecules (maybe) being involved.

Thanks for the reply Colleen. It gives me little hope that things might get better. I'm interested in the link between celiac/gluten intolerance & depression because it could be the celiac caused the depression or vice versa. We need more research in this area as current studies show such a strong link between the two!

It seems celiac disease doesn't run in my family. But after being on a gluten-free diet for 12 days or so I know that gluten plays up with me. Now, I've suffered from fairly severe depression pretty much all my adult life, and it doesn't seem to respond to antidepressants. So I'm starting to wonder whether gluten intolerance really is contributing to the...

Thanks everyone. It just seemed strange how I would feel sick almost instantly. As I have suffered depression and anxiety for years I first thought it had to do with those getting worse. But now I look back and see that even beloved pizzas slowly disappeared from my personal menu without me realizing, lol. Anyway as I said I'm undiagnosed. But I went...

Hey all. New undiagnosed member here. Rather than type a big intro straight away I thought I'd ask one question first off: Before you knew you had a gluten sensitivity, did your body start trying to tell you it was bad for you, without you really knowing why? For example, I used to eat fresh and toasted sandwiches for lunch pretty much every day. Usually...
