All 5 of us in this house had a nasty withdraw.

My husband eats gluten but he noticed a change in my attitude and mood the first couple of months that I started eating gluten free. I read a lot on here about anxiety, depression and moods (I read them to him as well).

I was really shocked how I was and did not know why, but it has gotten A LOT better for me. I would go through days where the smallest thing annoyed me and I was in a pissy mood to days where I was really quiet (I am normally a very talkative positive person). Over time things have gotten a lot better.

In the beginning you can get discouraged b/c you don't know why you are moody but it does get better. Same thing with the sick feeling....I felt really sick while my body was healing that also got better over the first couple of months as well (also feeling sluggish/tired).

GOOD LUCK :)

When I quit gluten and dairy, I felt dizzy for over a week. My boys tend to get really mean and grumpy when they are in pain or feeling sick (they dont seem to realize they are in pain, they just get mean), so theres a good chance this is a withdrawal. And yes, other folks on this site have said it made them cranky

This is great info! My hubby started gluten-free last Friday and he has been...well...not at his best. When our son went gluten-free his mood greatly improved. I guess I was expecting a repeat of that. I was thinking it was just anxiety and being overwhelmed, but maybe it is withdrawl. His first blood test came back neg. (we're waiting on second test), but his health looks like a textbook Celiac case (to this Celiac-newbie), so he's going to try gluten-free. He's working toward one month and then re-evaluate. I'm hopeful he'll see at least some improvement by then to keep him motivated. I'll share with him tonight about this thread.

Once again, I'm thankful for this site!!

I went on the Candida diet when I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia hoping it was actually a full body yeast infection. (It wasn't) On this diet you can't eat anything that feeds yeast. Basically I was eating meat and veggies, no fruits with some spices. I went through absolutely terrible withdrawals. I couldn't figure out how this was suppose to make me feel better. It was terrible but it went away in about a week. I have been thinking about going gluten-free with my kids as I did feel better and there have been studies about it helping FM patients, however I am a little hesitant just because of the whole withdrawal thing. Good luck and I hope he he feels better soon.

Hi there. I am a newbie to the gluten free diet, and unfortunatly self-diagnosed for now as I could just not live with the pain while waiting for the specialist.

Anyway, I was wondering if it is normal to have dizzy spells, sometimes feel naseated, and feel very lethargic and weak with no energy when first coming off gluten / wheat?

Thanks :-)

Is it any better now? this post is almost a month old! I remember my daughter back then beeing 12 month old getting very clingy for aobut a month or so! since I was still breastfeeeding her until she was 14 month old, I had to cut oput gluten too and let me tell you, you do go through some type of withdrawal and it does not feel good. You feel constantly like you are starving, your mood fluctuates and so on. I feel for anybody who goes through it and feels it so bad, it's tough! It wikllg et better thoguh!

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Thanks for the update, Ben. If you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the results of the blood testing - and this would be the normal protocol - you will still need to continue the gluten challenge until that is done.

      How much gluten do I need to eat prior to testing?

      Update on how things went. To meet my daily quantity of gluten I had a measured amount of gluten flour with my breakfast and 2 slices of bread later in the day. I still had discomfort but it wasn't debilitating. My blood tests results came back this week and they were positive so I've been referred to a specialist.

      Hello, Ive been to the dermatologist ( two different ones) and now made appointment, soonest is NOVEMBER. Ive been dealing  with skin issues for a while and its getting  worse because nothing has worked.I feel the bumps, gently squeeze and a itty bitty hard thing is coming out.I took a picture and did close up and in the MANY pictures ive taken this past few days, there's a " string" type thing at the end. I FEEL IT COMING OUT.... At first few pic it looks like hair, its not.Its  part of what ever is in my skin...I did call my Dr yesterday and will be seeing him this Monday. What test should I request to see what the hell is causing my skin to have?I don't know what to call it.I do sleep with my indoor cats.I also have an inheritance cat two years ago who took to sleeping with me as well.I also was on topiramate but had to stop because of speech issues, memory and it can affect those with  kidney stones. I did suffer kidney stones in past.So i had to completely stop.Since freaking out of what i KNOW what I saw, i took matters in my own hands and decided to eat several whole cloves a day.Since doing so, though im not to eat garlic.My skin is actually clearing up sloooooooooowly.but then again I just started 4 days ago and already notice a difference. My husband thinks im seeing things.I know what I see and feel. what test is there to ask doctor about what is in my skin? Husband thinks im seeing things, because of the meningioma and stopping meds.i know what i saw.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.
