2.5yo Gf 24hrs And Behaviour Has Gone Crazy!

OK, so I've read that people can be affected when they get glutened, but how about going gluten-free?

We made the switch from lunchtime yesterday and all was well, he even slept through the night last night (that was a miracle in itself). But OMG, this morning it's like some crazy child has been unleashed - screaming, crying, disagreeable, not listening (this isn't new) and it's only lunchtime here now.

Is this normal or maybe it's just a normal off toddler day???

I feel like ripping my hair out already, fortunately DH is here to share the load.

When I first changed my diet I was WAY worse. I'm thinking it could have been withdrawl. My second week of the diet was a huge improvement. Gluten is highly addictive and some people do experience withdrawl symptoms.

It could be withdrawal symptoms..... but then again, it sounds exactly like my 4 yr old son when he has chocolate...... he turns into hell on wheels!!!!! It also sounds alot like a terrible two day........

My dd is 3 and we took her off gluten when she was 2 1/2. She had withdraw symptoms for a short amount of time. After a couple of weeks we could tell that their was marked improvement. :) I remember going through the grocery store and she started yelling "crackos," (crackers.) She also craved mac & cheese, she could have eaten that and bread until she could eat no more.

Now, she doesn't seem to crave those foods like she did. :)

I know it's hard sometimes to tell what's normal toddler behavior and what isn't. After your ds body has time to heal and has made the adjustments you'll be able to tell the difference in the sypmtoms and behavior.

Hang in there.....it will get better!! :)

Ok ...I could have sworn I just responded to this and now my reply is not there so I will add it again:

I would not expect a change so soon. Most people do not see improvement that fast and if you do you are one of the few and lucky.

Took me 8 months to get back to normal. Some people get better sooner and some longer...depends on many factors. Usually kids see an improvement faster so hopefully it gets better soon.

Also, at first there can be hidden gluten sneaking in.

If you need some lists that can help make things easier you can email me and I can send them to you.

Hang in there

We are going through the same thing!! Our son has been gluten-free for 2 weeks and now he has energy! He is running and playing and doing all of the things he never had the energy to do before.... On the downside he has the energy for "fits". He has never really acted out before and now...! He has started trying to hit and crying and not listening. He was even trying to climb up the door jam the other night!!!! My son had always slept with no problem now he wont even think about bed time, as a matter of fact he is having a fit about going to be tonight. This is crazy.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
