This is a note on a form of gluten intolerance which is different to the usual one. In place of the normal diarrhoea, the response to gluten intake is a form of depression. This starts a few hours after consuming gluten, lasts anything from hours to weeks or months, then goes away. The depression takes the form of chronic doubting of one’s abilities, a low opinion of oneself, a reluctance to stand up for oneself, generally looking on the black side of things. And in this particular case, there seems to be a link with protein intake. Eating more protein can relieve it, while not eating enough, even in the absence of gluten, can provoke it. In addition, latterly, a problem with temperature regulation and energy reserves has surfaced. In ideal conditions, when eating the right amount at the right time and expending a consonant amount of energy, there’s no problem. But alter any of those and difficulties arise. After eating too much, or even sometimes after a normal meal, body temperature rises for a short time; if the excess has been at the evening meal, this can happen during the night. Conversely, when expending more energy than usual, or if ambient temperatures are lower or mealtimes later than usual, I feel cold enough to want to put on more clothes. This happens as soon as temperatures drop below around 22°C or a meal is more than about half an hour late. |
