Yes, but usually it is because I ate something with "hidden" gluten. Since you are so new to the diet, there is a good chance that you are getting hit with tiny bits of gluten from your food, pans, or other form of cross contamination.

When I get glutened, I drink lots of water and take probiotics. I don't know if it actually makes a huge difference, but at least I feel like I am doing something. When I get got, I also (involuntarily) sleep a LOT. My immune system's way of healing itself I suppose. I don't fight it- can't really- and then feel more energy in a few days, sometimes up to...

I was diagnosed with Celiac last summer so I have been gluten-free for a little over 6 months now. I am highly sensitive.
