OMG Gluten Dude, this just happened to me! It never happened before, to my knowledge. But this time it was so obvious. It was the first time I’d trusted an eatery in months. The guy is like “everything’s gluten free” then later, “except the meatballs.” So I have a talk with him about CC. He seems legit enough and I’m starved, so I decide to risk it. Bad idea.

Next day, my husband wakes me… I’m a grouch when I wake up and I spent three minutes screaming about absolutely nothing. It’s like I”m outside myself going “stop it, stop yelling, OMG I can’t stop, OMG please don’t throw anything, OMG stop, please don’t raise a hand, OMG why can’t I stop?, please stop!” It was terrifying. He’s like “I’m sorry… I’m sorry… ” He didn’t deserve it of course.

I’m using the three strikes rule, if this happens again, I’m talking to my GP, if it happens a third time, psychiatrist.

I will not turn into a psycho for gluten. I’m scared shitless. This was about three days ago and I’m still terrified. Thank you for this article, at least I don’t feel alone in this.

Thanks so much for writing this, I didn’t know what on earth was wrong with me until the last few days when I cut gluten and transformed back in to my real self, I had been having daily outbursts of anger and irritation, even smashed my phone to pieces in a rage, I kept saying I didn’t care if I died, every day I would feel so tired it was like I had been drugged, couldn’t focus on my work at all, and was falling behind with finances. I am in a new relationship and thankfully my bf has been so patient and understanding, most would have called me psycho and run for the hills. I have been a different person completely today, with it out of my system… calm and centred, I will never touch gluten again!

Sorry to hear you got glutened. I turn into a mess also but my son who is now 10 does exactly what you are saying everytime. Sometimes it is the only way we know there is an issue. He turns into someone else completely. He yells, cries for no reason and snaps very quickly over nothing. He gets so upset because he can’t control it, I feel for you both. Hope it passed quickly.

Well….sorry you were glutened…I am on day 7 of recovery and grateful to have found/ read your post. Misery loves company, but I was relieved to find out it’s not just me! I could hardly stand myself at work today but thought it was just the triple dose of pain and fatigue ( hit by a transport truck feeling )causing me to be so miserable. .. it helps reading your experience because KNOWING is 1/2 the battle…now I know. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Sandra. I am the same way. Always end up feeling so bad :-(. Then I just snap out of it. Working out seems to help me.

I so feel you dude, I thought I was the only one this happened to, until I decided to google “I am an asshole after I consume gluten”. I do know gluten causes brain lesions, probably why I get 3 day headaches. I’ve been gluten intolerant going on 22 years, My auto immune disease goes farther than just grains, so I just stay away from processed foods all together otherwise I just turn into a monster, grains and dairy are my two biggest evils, as far as your thoughts about the head on collision I have had a similar thought, just kind of left it alone, my daughter and my nieces call me out on assholism every time, they know well enough when I’m getting out of line….Hey this was a good read and info, I totally get where you and a lot of people who commented on this are coming from, I can relate to a lot of this….Thanks

In reply to The Gluten Dude. Dude! Consider keeping children's chewable Benadyrl fast-melts with you AT ALL TIMES. They won't do a complete fix, but they can damp down the symptoms, no matter what the "organ system target du jour" is. Yes, I know they have artificial sweeteners in them (so wrong for so many reasons), but if you get the new bubble gum flavor, at least you won't be getting the coloring.

Oh my giddy Aunt!!! Your comment saying being glutened is like mega PMS! Wow, first time I’ve read this…I’ve been battling what I thought was PMDD for a long time but am just TODAY wondering if my symptoms point to Celiac Disease. This might explain SO MUCH…the really itchy, bumpy, rashes I get after eating too much wheat that I was told was eczema, the constant tiredness, low mood, and some weird agitation and irritability that hit me yesterday after overdoing the Digestive biscuits the last few days…couldn’t understand what was wrong, I’m not pre menstrual….this might all make sense after all! Thank you, thank you for the information, I need to check in with my doctor and get some tests done…

In reply to Sandra.

This book was very illuminating. It’s written by a medical doctor and it covers the research and findings on Celiac Disease. No propaganda or B.S. like some other books, just facts. It was published in 2014, I believe, so it’s pretty up to date. It’s very thorough and goes into the physiological effects which really helped me understand the whole mental and emotional thing much better. You can probably get it through your local library. That’s where I found it.
