anybody else crabby?

I am extremely irritable, thing is i have not had a flare for some time and for the most part feel pretty good.  I just went gluten free and am trying to give up sugar .  Maybe that has something to do with it, but man, i mean PMS has nothing on me.  My poor husband. i can see him thinking of ways to get out of the house, which makes me even meaner.

Help!  anybody?

Do you think that maybe your body is detoxing?    I have a friend who went off sugar and she had horrible headaches and mood swings for about a week.   She was able to get though it and I’m sure you can to.     How about sugar substitutes—do they trigger Crohn’s symptoms?

I admire you for getting those out of your diet. I've been wanting to but that would mean not eating anything.

And yes, I do feel irritable. A lot. But I think mine has to do with the medicine I am taking. I feel terrible for my fiance...one moment I'm really happy and the next..the smallest thing triggers a long bad mood. This morning he was making eggs and asked me if I wanted some so of course I said yes, but then he asked if he could make his first because he was putting cheese and a lot of butter in them and didn't want to make me ill. So, I got upset because I didn't want to wait(I didn't say that out loud...) and went to sulk on the couch. Just things like that...

I'm sorry any of us have to feel this way...it's good practice for gaining control over your emotions though I think. At least that is me finding the bright side in such irritability.

Thanks everyone! i am in a better mood now. Lets hope it lasts.
i will continue to do without the sugar and hope that it passes soon, if that is what it is. I hate feeling this way. I know i am being horrible at the time but can't seem to stop myself. then the guilt sets in and i feel awful about that. Anyway, glad to know you understand, and it does feel better to share with people who don't judge. thanks.
