Your Withdrawal Symptoms


Crash

Recommended Posts

Crash Rookie

So I am trying again. For the first week or so, full paleo diet. Fish, chicken, eggs, fruits, veggies, nuts. No alcohol (I normally have a beer or glass of wine at night)

Man, withdrawal is even more intense this time. Super hungry on top of still not feeling great, wound tighter than a spring, too much energy, no way to focus it. Anxiety is through the roof as well.

I didn't have any of those symptoms. I ate the same amount of food, and I was swimming doing swim practice, too. The only thing I had was anxiety about being sick again but no withdrawal symptoms.

If you're hungry, eat more. Eat as much safe food as your body wants. It's been deprived for a long time so it's going to go nuts for awhile. Go out and take a run when you get pumped up!

I suffer from serious anxiety and sports are the only thing that help me. Good for you for doing this super-healthy diet, I agree to eat as much as your body wants and get some exercise when you're feeling tightly wound. I had very similar withdrawal symptoms and they went away within a couple of weeks... stick with it and you'll feel AMAZING :)

Good luck!!

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      My sebaceous hyperplasia and thrush disappeared when I stopped all dairy.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.
