When I'm "glutenated", besides feeling like crap, my mental status gets strangely twisted -- I get foggy brained, confused, depressed and oddly impulsive.  Once while under the influence I bought a skirt that I knew was too large.  I took it home & tried, while still in a stupor, to alter it to fit.  It ended up so tight I could hardly zip it.  Rather than correct it, I broke down in sobs & threw it in the trash.  This is NOT like me at all.  I'm generally careful w/ money & a very skilled seamstress who carefully sticks w/ any sewing project until it's "just right."  Another time, on a crazy glutonic impulse, I ordered a rediculously expensive pair of prescription glasses that I didn't even need from an optical department that I'd never done business w/ before.  Another time, while under the influence, I called the director of an orchestra & told her I couldn't play the concert because I didn't want the younger horn player to feel bad because I got to play more than her.  OH PLEASE!!!!  
 
In each instance, when I finally "come to", I'm terribly embarrassed by my behavior, but also relieved to know that gluten was a major contributing factor.
 
Has anyone else done goofy things like this or experienced personality changes while under the influence of gluten?
