I feel bad...

I'm in my 2nd week of gluten free diet, but I feel bad, every night I get some kind of "attack", It's not really attack 1st I start feeling butterfly's in my stomach and after I feel everything around me is faster and I start to forget stuff and my hands start to shake(just a little shaking) and they get cold, and I get so many question's in my head about environment around me and everything else (I know it sounds crazy), but it goes away after few hours and It has been happening to me for about 1 week, I googled a bit and and I found out that these symptoms are something called "brain fog", did anyone had same withdraw symptoms after going gluten free or it's just me ?

I'm a 20y/o basketball player, and this has never happened to me before, I feel really bad after going gluten free, I would really like to get back on training but this is kind of stopping me, will this symptoms go away?

Please if you have something to share with me write it down below, thanks.

In some people gluten sensitivity manifests itself primarily as a nerve disease affecting the brain and the nervous system. The good news is if you are in this category and you stay one hundred percent gluten-free, the symptoms should go away over time. Here are some articles that you might find helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/

Be sure to talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

In regards to the withdrawal....gluten withdrawal is honestly like getting off drugs, the withdrawal in some people is really bad. I can honestly say the gluten withdrawals were worse then trying to cold turkey get off Methamphetamine

I'll visit my doctor but he's out of city for 2 weeks so I had to post this, I just didn't add that this like "attack" happens at night time(8pm) and disappears in next 5 minutes and I'm fully aware of my environment and people around me and everything else, but,  just in that time, in that 5 minutes I feel bad, I kinda feel like I cant follow with conversation that is going on between people, I feel like I would vomit but I never do, and after 15 minutes I get back to fully normal level.
I'll see some of the articles that you sent me up there and find something for me, thank you!

Exactly! I just kinda got worried because my whole life I've been training, eating healthy and this happens to me, first time when I felt bad I was so scared that I'm going to die, but of course it didn't happen, I also agree with you and I think it's just a unpleasant way of getting out gluten from my system and I hope it'll end soon. Thank you a lot!

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
