As I mention on the About Us page, I (and everyone around me) suffered from anxiety for years. Once I started eating Gluten Free, the anxiety started to go away. I cannot even believe how I used to live day to day, let alone work at a high pressure job. Now that I have been GF for about 9 months, my anxiety has been reduced to episodes that are over very quickly and it keeps getting better.
This article at Gluten Free Works, Anxiety and Celiac Disease, Causes and Response to a Gluten Free Diet, talks about the connection between gluten and anxiety. It is nice to see that this is something that has some science behind it.
Did you notice a reduction in anxiety in yourself or a family member when you went gluten free?
I can’t say I’m LESS anxious when I’m gluten free. But if/when I do get glutened, I’m an emotional wreck. Hard to describe. But man, does it bite.
Thanks for being our first comment. Love your blog. Sudden onset extreme anxiety is one of my “Dammit, I just got glutened” indicators.
