I am in my second week and I have some odd things happening. I had my hair dyed the other day and I felt very effected by the chemicals. This had happened years agao but has been gone for a while. Can withdrawal cause you to be extra sensitive to other chemicals? I have also been having some depression, anxiety and sleeping issues with nightmares. Has anyone else gone through this?

I would check into the ingredients of your hair dye.

I know that the digestive issues clear up faster than the neurological ones. I would revisit anything that can get into your mouth and cross contamination just to insure that you are not getting any gluten. It's very hard to be totally 100% gluten free when beginning the diets because there is just way tooooo much to learn.

Yes, there is such a things as gluten withdrawal. It takes a while for your body to adjust.

Yes. It seems that cleaning out your system like this makes you either much more in tune with your body or just sensitizes you to chemicals. Sometimes going gluten-free cleans up your diet majorly, many go organic and whole food as well so you get a decent amount of detoxing from this I believe. It is a good thing that you are becoming more sensitive to dangers in your environment. There are natural haircolors you can get.

Before I went gluten free chemicals used to really bother me, hair dyes, nail polish, cleaning liquid, perfume pretty much anything used to give me a migraine and nausea. I have found that this got worse when I went gluten lite but completely went away once I went gluten free.

It could be that your sensitivity is a symptom of the celiac disease and it may go away after you have been gluten-free for a while longer.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
