Well, part of the food sensitivity was more than just a celiac comment but also about how migraines can be caused by certain trigger foods (more than wheat). Since migraines typically also cause a change in the frequency the brain is operating on (causes slowing), it's entirely possible there are foods that are causing something in your brain to misfire. Another example would be how people with epilepsy tend to have less seizure activity when on a ketogenic diet (low carb). Basically food can change the frequency the brain is at and cause potential behavioral changes. One type of seizure disorder does cause rage so I would really think that getting an eeg will help.
Also, just like some meds, some foods can cause an allergic reaction that leads to rage/anger episodes. On the other hand, it might just be mental health related.
If you are able to control yourself outside the home environment, but not with people closest, that sounds most like borderline personality disorder, which isn't the end of the world (not really something that can be treated with meds). In this case, as mentioned in my previous post, you really really should go to group therapy for dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy. If you cannot afford it, buy books on both and study those concepts and learn coping mechanisms through those books that will help you to respond differently.
It's possible that something traumatic happened that triggered whatever is going on now, and it doesn't even have to be that major. Pain for me might not be pain for the next person. Each person responds to slights and greater traumas with different reactions. Some don't have long term issues, but others do. Something as simple as a rough break up with a significant other can lead to borderline personality disorder.
This doesn't make you a headcase, it just means you need to learn to control your responses and reactions/learn new ways to respond to things...learn tactics to calm your mind.
I think your first step should be talking to a doctor about the symptoms. Make sure they cover all health-related bases first. It might not have any correlation to a mental health diagnosis.
A side note, some people become addicted to the adrenaline rush and all the chemicals the body releases during stressful times. The gut sends signals to the brain which triggers the mental response, which then causes a certain level of euphoria with the outburst, which satiates the gut (adrenals and such), and it's basically a loop. So one desires the other and it keeps happening until you quit the loop and learn to live without the anger and outbursts/adrenaline. The aforementioned CBT/DBT books should help you.
I'm not sure how old you are, but puberty sucks. You'll certainly feel like a headcase, but that doesn't mean you _are_ a headcase. Your mom is right, you do, to an extent, decide how you feel. Nobody can "make" you be angry, that's a personal decision. There are medications that cause rage. I'm not sure if you're on any meds, but if you are, that'd be a start to researching if anyone else has similar reactions.

Also, if you really are addicted to adrenaline that bad, maybe consider taking up weight lifting or running or something else equally constructive (martial arts?). I know when I lived with my mom it was extremely stressful, but 30 min-3 hours of running every day seemed to help. Really anything over 2 miles helped me.
