Caffine Withdrawal Symptoms

I went totally caffine free about a week ago now, and I'm feeling really tired and i'm getting depression and crying jags. I'm eating clean, it's just since I quit the caffine this has hit. Is this normal caffine withdrawal? And how long will this last? This is wicked feeling. :(

Oh, before I forget, i'm drinking Bigelow's Decaf Earl Grey tea and i'm sweetening it with agave nectar. Could the agave be a contributing factor?

Yes, that is normal along with headaches and being crabby. I don't know how long it lasts b/c I have never been able to do it. Hang in there!

Thanks Gree, so far I havn't really had any headaches to speak of or feelings of irritability, knock on wood, :) It's just a rundown feeling and crying every couple of hours for no apparent reason. Then again, it being that time of the month too might be having more of a reaction to it. I just know it's feeling a bit different than normal and also now that I think about it I had the shakes for a little while last night too.

I thought my hypoglycemia was acting up so I ate something but it didn't help, finally went away after a couple of hours. I don't know, get's very depressing after a bit. But, with everything else i'll hang in there and ride it out. :D

You poor thing! Trust me I have been where you are and it totally stinks. I came off caffeine when I found out I had a sensitivity to high fructose corn syrup. It was really hard to do and your body is physically addicted to the caffeine and the sugar, so its a rough road. The good news is that you should start to feel better soon. I would also add that you should try and drink as much water as possible to help flush out your system and staying hydrated will help you to feel better. Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers that you feel better soon!

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
