  • A few months ago I stopped eating wheat for 2 weeks and didn't feel any better at all in fact felt a bit worse so I stared to eat it again not knowing about withdrawal symptoms and you have to be  off  it for months before you notice any change so this week decided to give it another go, this is my 3rd day and I FEEL DREADFUL, can the withdrawal make you feel this ill, am absolutely exhausted taking all my time to function, didn't feel quite this unwell last time

Try to take some down time.  Give your body some time to adjust.  It will work hard to recover.

 

  Sometimes one feels worse before they feel better.  Keep trying to clear all bottles in pantry and refrigerator to make sure none contain gluten.  I think I had problems with cross contamination within 4 days of going gluten free.  Some of the things I attributed to withdrawal may have been getting small bits. 

 

Some of my down time, I spend on the forum.  Almost every struggle that comes up someone can relate to.  You can learn more about the diet.  It will take some time.

 

Get Well***

Withdrawal is HARD! I didn't have many symptoms of celiac (or at least I didn't THINK I did until I went gluten-free and my insomnia went away, my brain fog cleared up, my feet stopped swelling, not to mention the psoriasis cleared up as well as my minor bathroom issues.) But during the first couple or three weeks of gluten-free, I felt HORRIBLE. I had a headache every day, I was weak and spacey and shaky, and had a general sense of being unwell.

 

Hang in with it, and you'll start feeling better soon.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
