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 .

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      This is an older article, but still helpful:

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.
