New Symptoms After Going Gluten Free?

[GeoffCJ]

I've been eating gluten light for a few months, and making a real effort to be gluten free since New Years. Mostly I feel much better, but I have had a few new symptoms. Is that normal?

1) Headaches - seem to be having a lot, and I never have before.

2) when I eat, I sometimes get this weird feeling where my eyes feel like they are swelling. They appear slightly bloodshot too. But mostly they just feel too big for the socket...

Hi Geoff- I didn't have those symptoms but many people have weird symptoms after going gluten-free. We think it may be detox? Hope someone else can help you here!

I've only been at this for a few days now, but here's a few things I've noticed:

slight headaches, some gas, but not enough to cause discomfort (not to ME, anyway...). Both are much less severe than what I had before going Gluten Free, and I'm thinking they will diminish as my body adapts to my new diet. Mostly, I feel somewhat light-headed, which I'm assuming is due to my brain not quite knowing what to do with all the extra nourishment and oxygen it's been getting (I've practically quit smoking as well). Otherwise, I feel Great!

I started getting headaches (never had them before) almost every day since going gluten-free 8 months ago (still getting them!), but I also developed a goiter and Hashimotos thyroiditis when I went gluten-free, so not sure if the headaches could be from that. Any way, the headaches are the only new symptom I've developed (although some of my old ones still haven't gone away)
