Dairy/gluten-Free Withdrawl

I have been gluten free and dairy free (except for 1-2 small reactions) for 2 months now. I absolutely feel better. My stomach bloating, aching, itchy legs, tongue issues, constipation, gas has almost all improved 100%. However, I am having almost daily headaches and joint pain. ESPECIALLY MY SHOULDERS! My shoulders ache. Moreso at night time (when laying on them of course)I think it is from the dairy but I cannot be certain.

I'm wondering what withdrawal symptoms you guys are having, if any? and how long does it take to be free of these issues? (I can't even do shoulder exercises because they are so sore- sorry I'm a gym rat).

Also, what improvements have you all experienced since going gluten-free/DF? Even the small ones. Sometimes it is nice to read the good stuff that us healers can look forward to!

:-)

my main withdrawal symptoms were nausea, dizziness, and terrible terrible anxiety. I had constant pain in my ribs on the right side and could not sleep on my right side, it felt like my intestines were going to "spill" out of me, sorry for the TMI.

hand in there. it will get better, though the healing of your gut may take time if you have celiac damage...

I stopped only two days ago after a gluten challenge and have these (plus digestive problems) I anxiety was so bad last night I thought i was going to die. Weird stuff gluten :blink:

Headaches and joint pain are reactions I have when I consume nightshades.(potatoes,peppers,chilies,tomatoes ,eggplant ect...)I was not able to isolate the cause until after I was gluten free for awhile.

Nightshades also effect my mood and temperament. I get really angry and mean. :ph34r:

Try eliminating nightshades for about 2 to 3 weeks and them reintroduce them and see if/how you react .

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.
