    bartful, that is a funny response. I should have said, besides my 5 year old and 3 year old screaming at each other, where do you get your headaches? Schatz, it is always encouraging to hear that someone else is experiencing the same thing as you. I have read that gluten is an opiate and can accumulate on the brain. So in my head I imagine little sponges...

    I have a question about headaches. Once I got off gluten I had horrible headaches in my withdrawal phase. My headaches during withdrawal and when I get headaches now are on the very back of my head. I almost feels like it would be on my brain stem. I have never had headaches that far back on my head before. They used to always be in my eyes, sinuses...

    This is why I wish I would have known about gluten intolerance and celiac 20 years ago. I have always been extremely anxious and kept to myself as a kid and teenager because I was so anxious around people I didn't know. As an adult, I avoided confrontations at all costs even if it meant getting completely walked all over. If someone confronted me about...

    The article below discusses that there is an overabundance of high protein and high gluten wheat. Now that is a scary thought! Be extra careful not to get cross contaminated with this. Open Original Shared Link

    Intersting replies. I guess I never considered bread to be a processed food. We have been eating a lot more fruits and veggies lately which is good advice for anyone with any medical condition. We had spinach with our chicken and rice last night and we now eat two bananas for breakfast instead of one and a bar. We also have been eating more grapes and...

    Breakfast is a banana and an enjoy life breakfast bar, lunch is usually a peanut butter or almond butter sandwich on Udi's and all natural Lay's chips, and supper has been spaghetti with rice pasta, hamburgers with udi's hamburger buns, or grilled cheese with udi's bread. Maybe something in here is getting to her. It is a big adjustment to her diet so I...

    Thanks for the info everyone. We have had a weird twist to this story as well. Last night after work she said she couldn't focus at work all day and is just out of it. She also had horrible headaches last night. I told her that she has brain fog and headaches and that was gluten withdrawal. It was so bad I finally told her to go to bed early and I would...

    I wonder if anyone can explain this? I have been gluten free for 2 months and now my wife decided to go gluten free to help avoid CC. She started on Friday, so today is day 4 for her. Well, I started to feel an improvement with the gas, bloating, and cramping about 3 days into the diet. Last night, she was complaigning that she was extremely gassy and...

    That's a good question. I know for me personally a sinus infection is what set me over the edge. I have always had GI issues and anxiety issues, but after a sinus infection in January, they were 100x worse than before to where I was miserable, always sick, and always anxious. But, now that I am off gluten the only thing that seems to get me anymore is...

    That's interesting. I was lucky enough to be married when my symptoms started getting really bad, so my wife saw how sick I was all the time. Since you are single you are dealing with the general public who think gluten free is the newest fad diet and don't take it seriously. Just this week at the grocery store the checker said, "I don't get this wheat...

    A unique one for me is I don't mumble anymore. I used to mumble really bad and people couldn't understand me and phone calls were annoying for both me and the person I was talking too because they couldn't hear me and I got tired of repeating myself. About a month in my Mom commented on the phone, "Jason, I heard every word you just said clear as day" instead...

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I go to a small Church with around 200 members and the pastors are more than willing to work with me. I just need to find out what weeks we have Communion so I can be prepared. I agree, it is about atonement and being forgiven and not about me suffering personally. I am finally feeling healthy and don't think God wants...

    I have seen other posts about this but wanted to see if anyone could give me more information about this. It feels like a nerve right above my left ankle on the outside of my leg gets a pain once in a while, especially when I squat down in the catchers position to look at something. Every once in a while my foot will feel cold. The worst was yesterday...

    I also think that is interesting about the gluten sensitive people feeling better more quickly than celiacs. I don't know which one I am either. My worst symptom was anxiety but I didn't know that this was the cure. As far as my GI issues. I had horrible bloating, cramping, heartburn, constipation, and gas and the doctor suggested trying gluten free for...

    A couple weeks in to my gluten free diet I ate a steak and a side of corn for supper and felt horrible later that night. I went over all my meals for the last 2 days and the corn was the only thing I could think of. So I cut it out of my diet. Low and behold, a few weeks later I had a blood test to test for other food allergies and corn showed up. It...

    I had an interesting thing come up yesterday that never crossed my mind until it happened. I have been gluten free for 1 month now and this Sunday at Church I was in line to get communion when it occured to me, "I can't have the bread for communion!" Of course I am moving closer in the line and starting to panic, what should I do, what should I do? As...

    That sounds pretty awful. I know you said you don't believe in cutting out food groups with cause, but I think you have a long list of causes. I would strongly consider an elimination diet. I am thinking of trying that myself to see if that helps me. The gluten elimination help tremendously but I still have some issues and it is very common to be sensitive...

    Strawberryshortcake, I am sorry about your friend. I get it a little bit. When I first went gluten free I knew nothing about Celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I was doing a lot of research online and was finding all sorts of stuff that I never knew was related. I was always telling my wife, oh my gosh my anxiety could be tied to this as well. Oh...

    This is so interesting. I have been gluten free for 1 month now and the nutritionist told me to be careful because I will probably gain weight due to absorbing more of the food I am eating. All I know is I used to run religiously and even completed 2 half marathons and was around 195-200 pounds which is very heavy for a runner since I am only 5'10. After...

    Thanks Jestgar, I am so new and naive to all this. I decided to join this site because I have linked to it so many times through google searches and the people on here seem so knowledgable and eager to help. Also, I have been recommended to avoid gluten and am seeing great results in my health. I still think I have a sensitivity to gluten, just not confirmed...

    I have been gluten free for 3 weeks now and feel so much better. My gas, bloating, heartburn, tingling in hands, and anxiety improved and I even was told I started speaking more clearly because I used to mumble all the time. I had withdrawal symptoms of headaches, muscle aches, pain on the outside of my shins, and a tingling cold sensation in my left foot...

    Thanks everyone. I really feel like a kid learning how and what to eat all over again. I have found a couple of foods besides gluten that don't sit well with me, so I will add sucrose to my list. Now that my stomach is settled down I can tell much easier if something doesn't sit well compared to constantly having abdominal issues and not being able to...

    This is my first post and I have been gluten free for about a month now. The changes have been unbelievable, lower anxiety, headaches gone, dizzyness gone, bloating, well you get the picture. So I was surprised that I got really dizzy after drinking a low cal G2 drink considering it is listed gluten free on their website. My question is that sucrose is...
