Gluten Withdrawal?

I've heard of side effects of going gluten- free and was wondering how common it is. DS has a terrible headache today and am wondering whether he is reacting to something( DH fed him some KIX this morning, he thought it was gluten-free, do others react to it?) or if it is part of withdrawal symptoms. He has not had any stomach pain since last Friday( unheard of for so long!).

Right now he has no belly pain just a headache and he looks really pale, no temperature either.

:(

Withdrawal is not fun.  :( I found a post from 2012 when I first went gluten-free - I had a migraine that lasted almost 2 weeks. It was nasty. Extreme fatigue and moodiness was also part of my deal. Others will experience GI symptoms. It can really vary.

 

On the bright side, withdrawal usually last a few days to three weeks - hopefully it won't last long.

 

I don't know about KIX. Is that a cereal? 

 

Glutening symptoms will most likely continue to pop up for a few months even if he is not getting glutened. When symptoms occur, you should look into the cause, but don't be surprised if it goes on it's own and you can't find any cause.  I had some repeat symptoms (mostly arthritic like pain though) that popped up after many months gluten-free.

 

Hang in there!

Yes, Kix is a cereal which is one of my son's 2 favorite ones( other one is Chex which has a gluten-free version, including the generic version from our local store).

He is feeling a bit better this evening. At least no tummy ache which is a big deal.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By CeliacPI · Posted

      My husband was diagnosed with Celiac in January 2025.  He has been on a gluten free diet since official endoscopy which confirmed Celiac.  He just recently had a colonoscopy where he was diagnosed with "Lymphocytic Colitis".  His Gastroenterologist said that Lymphocytic Colitis is also associated with Celiac Disease.  I have looked on this forum and don't see any mention of other people being diagnosed with this disease.  Can anyone tell me if they have also been diagnosed with this?  They also found "dysplasia" in the colon which is considered precancerous and therefore they need to do another colonoscopy using a special technique called chromoendoscopy which helps them find abnormalties in the lining of the colon.  I can see why having Celiac for 55 years without knowing it and eating gluten every day would likely not be kind to your intestines and colon.  I would think more people would have these types of issues.  Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this.  Appreciate any feedback and advice on how to manage.   Thanks!

      What is Xiromed? I see that it is a generic manufacturer, but not a drug.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The site I posted earlier does include ALL ingredients, including ANY binders. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Have y'all checked for any binders with the manufacturing chemists? Binders on medications don't have to be listed in ingredients lists and the only surefire way to find out is to speak to the chemists directly. It's very difficult to find them, but if you do I would be very interested since I was just about to start Xiromed and already struggle with my diet. I would love to hear if you do find a safe source!
