Gluten Intolerance?

I just put together that when I have gluten heavy meals, I get this bad anxiety/depression after. This happens even if I am feeling great that day. It usually lasts 40 mins. I noticed I would feel anxious after eating sandwiches for lunch so I switched to salad and I feel so much better.

I usually get an anxious feeling from a few sips of beer, but not other alcohols.

Was feeling amazing today, then had a Big dinner and immediately felt bad for awhile. I then put it all together.

Is this PFS related? Anyone else experience this?

Yeah, I’ll be the first to say I noticed this first during PFS. I’ve probably had this intolerance my whole life but never paid any attention to it.

That being said, it affected me less and less the better I got. I still have issues with gluten, but mainly digestive at this point......probably an issue with PFS making existing intolerances worse with a weakened overall system.

Yes, experienced this a few years ago - combination of fasting and exercising helped.

Yep, cutting out gluten was probably the first change I made to my diet and definitely had the most impact. Grains in general can be pretty inflammatory, so I would pay attention to how you react to things that contain a lot of corn as well.

-I can eat it now but still it's not good for cutting maintaining leanness for me. Semi obsessed there............. hence, I don't.
-Hurts digestion sometimes, sometimes doesn't. BUT, often it's paired with other inflammatory foods. Like Pizza - is all carbs, all gluten, all cheese (usually, I know there's she-she vegan non cheese non bread pizzas out there too).
--> SO once in 20 d doesn't do much....... but it's still crap and I don't eat it.
14mo ago--- Felt like dying eating such foods. After fast, didn't tempt for 6months.
---If I can be 10-12% bodyfat and less, then why bother eating such things.............
-but everyone's different. Supposedly I'm Slow 1. ARL showed fast ish, I am thinking TEI 2 and 3 will say Slow 1 or something close to that.

-Basically I eat Steak, Eggs, Chicken (more rarely kind of dislike it now), salmon, tuna... spinach, potatoes, rice, other vegetables. --> that's not perfect TEI ness, but I avoid things like Kale which it told me too and also yogurt and dairy/ calcium foods. --Unless my heart rate is high or it's rare use, and I think it will help digestion.

--Pretty sure gluten hurts me on TEI more than it does on nothing. ---Still was a bad idea on randro and all that stuff. But it was like 15x last yr maybe, and mostly impulsive. 15x out of like 15 mo of meals.

--I think gluten always hurt me,... once I gain muscle or cut fat, I stay there for a long time... a new baseline. SO maybe gluten even in small amounts (less than normal ppl but way more than now) kept me at 17-19percent bodyfat, whereas none or very little makes it easier to stay closer to ten. maybe that's just more muscle and less fat......
-but It also makes me more irritated/ feeling bad. Bad digestion, and not being lean kind of ruins my day -- but I'm obsessed so it's not entirely gluten's fault.
--some people are super fat, very unhealthy, and really don't care and are very happy.

I can’t do gluten either. For those of you who have hypothyroid, get your antibodies checked. If you have elevated antibodies, eating a gluten free diet will help bring down the antibodies.

Have no problems with gluten. Maybe in the beginning of PFS. I eat mostly white rice for carbohydrates. Sometimes potatoes.

Never had a problem with gluten during my 15 year PFS.

STILL and likely way before Fin, gluten bothered me.
RICE and POTATOES -- fine, in moderation, I can still stay just as lean with other dietary modifications/ meal timing/ fasted training in place.
A couple days of cheese or gluten, especially when trying something new, like TEI - jacks me up.
SOMETIMES it doesn't, but I think I just didn't have enough for it to do that. It doesn't make me crash or anything, but say my normal weight for lean and muscular is 190-192.
A few cheese sandwiches and such, I am up to 195, and bad digestion.

UNLIKE 2017, it doesn't immobilize, render me almost not a human tho. So that's good, if I need to eat it, if there's no food or something. But I'd rather just not eat or have eggs or a whey,spinach,sea salt, x, y, shake.

waited 2-3 years to eat gluten. it is trash.... 2017 kept me dead.. with nutella, fruit. etc. slow1... i was bedridden that whole yr. ya fk it. clean eats only for me. was feeding some major disease/ bacterial, or virus infections or all. ya.

rather eat slow one rice meat.. veg.. no sauce. or like tubzy in recent years: salad and one meat (ideally from the sea), and that's it. better skin, better health, and no pain.
