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!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
