I have been gluten free for about 6 days now and my stomach and bowels have felt fine. I have noticied that I am having a hard time sleeping at night. Is this a side effect of coming off the gluten?

Is on week okay? All I am trying to do is reduce my suffering until the test. Thanks to each of you for your replies, it is REALLY, TRULy helping me cope with the...

I am having an endoscopy on Sept 13th to test for Celiacs. They also have done blood work as well (but no results yet). My symptoms are similair to some of what many of you have written, but they are also very different as well. I truly hope I don't have Celiacs as I just can't see the quality of life for me being the same without eating wheat products...

Then 2 days of no bowel movements, but i have gas (belching following by flatuence) Then 2 days of feeling like I need a bowel...
