Cleansing/detoxing Phase?

When you first started going gluten-free, did you go through a phase where your body acted as if it was detoxing?

Detoxing as in major withdrawal from glutens and temptation to eat it anyway and starving all the time? yep!

What I mean is more like your body is getting rid of toxins or cleansing itself. I am breaking out more than usual, got a sore in my mouth, stuff like that. Just wondering if it's common to have some side effects at first until your body regulates itself, while you are in the transition phase.

I experienced that. Had to go to the bathroom more than normal, didn't have breakouts, but I felt like I was detoxing.

Here are mine (1 week gluten-free):

1. Severe headaches

2. Lower left abdominal discomfort/pain

3. Acne, hopefully will clear up soon, it's bad

4. Canker sores

5. Very tired

6. Very hungry for first 2 days

On the plus side, within a day or two my loose stools/undigested food in stools went away completely, and I've had periods where I felt amazing, not just my usual bla self. I also lost my grumpy irritability, which my wife is thankful about.

After 4-5 days I got heartburn pretty badly for about 3 days straight. Like wicked heartburn that ive never gotten before. Luckily that went away now.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.
