I was recently told to remove gluten from my diet completely. Did anyone else experience nausea, heartburn, or dizziness in the beginning of being gluten free? Thanks in advance.

I experienced nausea, headache, increased hunger and generally feeling unwell for a few days after stopping gluten. There seems to be a withdrawal phase for some, which actually tells me a whole lot about gluten. Probably wheat more specifically. It’s bizarre to me, I don’t have withdrawal symptoms when I don’t eat apples for a few days. Wheat is in everything! I’ve learned quite a bit from this site. Those feelings did pass in a few days. I generally eat whole, fresh foods, now and continue to see progress in how I feel. I don’t have celiac (per my labs), but likely NCGS (lots of symptoms) and feel so much better after eliminating gluten from my diet! I hope you start feeling better soon! 
Here is a quick read with references (kind of old, but still valid IMO

Thank you so much! I cut it a week ago, so I really hope it goes away soon!!!  I really appreciate your response on it because all of the weird little symptoms scare me sometimes.

I agree! I knew for months something was not right, but never would have thought it was gluten. Did an elimination diet and things got so much better!! Started to reintroduce to rule out celiac and once back on gluten, symptoms came back and some worse. I started having tingling in my fingers/toes.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...

I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.
