7 Weeks Gluten Free

I have been gluten-free for 7 weeks now, I was really expecting to feel great, but I am not, still got quite bad anxiety and occasional bloating I am been so very careful not to contaminate and not eating out yet so I don't think I have accidentally eaten any gluten.

I get worried it could be something more which makes my anxiety worse and I its hard with celiac disease to know if your body is recovering or not, no simple test to take. Maybe I am just expecting too much too soon.

One to positive side, I have not had a really bad headache since going gluten-free. My stomach is not as bloated, but does occasionally bloat, I am trying to cut dairy out and see if that makes a difference.

I also have skipped my last two periods and definately not pregnant. Doc said it was nothing to be concerned about.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hang in there. It takes a while for your body to adjust. You didn't develope celiac in a day, week or month & I wouldn't expect instant relief. For a few they get instant relief but it can take up to a year or even two to notice a big change... Every body is different...

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
