I know this is a probably a pretty common topic, but I have been gluten free for just under a week and have seen some pretty weird side effects. Anyone else experience stange bodily stuff (i'll be pretty general)? What is normal when going through this process?

Most of us are pretty okay with the TMI stuff on this board...you can always post a TMI warning on your thread, LOL!

Yes, lots of transitional weird stuff can be seen.

I had an equal amount of mental | emotional side effects too, with the withdrawls. B)

It's a wild ride right after you get off the gluten... hang in there Sweetie!

Yeah, you're body is detoxing, it can get pretty freaky. You're welcome to share all the gory details!

Weird stuff yes: cranky, crying, pooping alot, fatigue, starving no matter how much I ate.....just to name a few.

You are in good company. :)

I have first - serious constipation, followed by the runs. I get a rash and what's weird for me is I get what seems like canker sores on my tongue and the inside of my bottom lip that is gone within one day. Geez.

yeah, my appetite is virtually gone, though my stomach growls ALL the time, even if I had eaten an hour before. I go to the bthroom quite frequently, to the point where I can't predict it. It used to be after eating, now it can creep up on me at anytime. My stomach also is constantly making noises, from hunger growls to gurgling. After I eat, I feel even worse, to the point where I avoid eating (thought that doesn't make me feel better) BM's are quite liquidy too. Don't even get me started on yawning.

It doesn't help that I am a teacher either...

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
