I have been Gluten -free since thursday (at least i think i have) I have not watched cross contamination as much at home as i probably should. I really don't feel any different, but I am guessing it may take a while. My problem is terrible headaches, I have had one everyday since going Gluten-free, is this common and what medicine is okay to take?
