All Day Headache For The Last 4 Days - Withdrawal?

WideAwake

Recommended Posts

I have been off gluten for over a month now, and the anxiety and fatigue and mildish tummy problems cleared up overnight. However, for the past 4 days I have had an almost continuous headache. Not a really nasty one, just enough to let me know it is there. I am drinking enough water.

I never get headaches, well very very rarely. Is it likely to be my body still de-glutening considering that my other symptoms were cleared up almost instantly? I never had headaches as a glutened symptom...

I don't have caffiene, and am eating really really healthily.

Any ideas? I just want my head to stop hurting :blink:

Could you have a sinus infection?

If you can have one with no other symptoms LOL then it is possible. Last night I started improving thankfully, will see how I go today. I do know bright lights and loud noise did make it a bit worse.

Sounds like a migraine; I get them often. Is it in a band from the base of your skull up around your forehead? Where is it?

Around the front of my forehead. Am thinking it may be caused by pollen as it is spring here. Maybe it is particularly bad this year (spring did start very early)

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application. And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful...

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Hi Im new to this game, so bear with me. May through to December last year totally miserable, covered literally head to toe in the worst rash ever, itching like I just cant explain. After seven different medics told me just to "keep putting the cream on, whatever it is will go in the end" finally one lovely doc diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.
