Gluten Withdrawal?

I've heard of side effects of going gluten- free and was wondering how common it is. DS has a terrible headache today and am wondering whether he is reacting to something( DH fed him some KIX this morning, he thought it was gluten-free, do others react to it?) or if it is part of withdrawal symptoms. He has not had any stomach pain since last Friday( unheard of for so long!).

Right now he has no belly pain just a headache and he looks really pale, no temperature either.

:(

Withdrawal is not fun.  :( I found a post from 2012 when I first went gluten-free - I had a migraine that lasted almost 2 weeks. It was nasty. Extreme fatigue and moodiness was also part of my deal. Others will experience GI symptoms. It can really vary.

 

On the bright side, withdrawal usually last a few days to three weeks - hopefully it won't last long.

 

I don't know about KIX. Is that a cereal? 

 

Glutening symptoms will most likely continue to pop up for a few months even if he is not getting glutened. When symptoms occur, you should look into the cause, but don't be surprised if it goes on it's own and you can't find any cause.  I had some repeat symptoms (mostly arthritic like pain though) that popped up after many months gluten-free.

 

Hang in there!

Yes, Kix is a cereal which is one of my son's 2 favorite ones( other one is Chex which has a gluten-free version, including the generic version from our local store).

He is feeling a bit better this evening. At least no tummy ache which is a big deal.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed? Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms....

      Understood, and with any positive blood test the usual next step is a biopsy to confirm celiac disease, and this would be true even if the tTg-IgA is negative.

      Can celiac cause widespread pain??

      Hi! Did anyone experience severe body aches prior to being diagnosed?  Last year I suddenly experienced widespread pain, completely unexplained. After numerous tests with normal results I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in August and started taking Cymbalta, which helped about 80%. Now other than pain, I did not have any additional fibromyalgia symptoms.    In the following months I started experiencing diarrhea, to the point where it was constant. In January I was diagnosed with celiac disease and microscopic colitis after having an endoscopy/colonoscopy. I've been gluten-free since that day and recently my pain level has dropped to ZERO.  I'm starting to wonder if I even have fibromyalgia, or if all of my symptoms were celiac and colitis.  I've seen several doctors and no one suggested this, but from what I'm reading it sounds possible.  The fact that I was diagnosed with two different diseases within a few months also seems odd. Has anyone else experienced all-over body aches with celiac?  And if so did the pain end after eliminating gluten?  Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has either celiac or fibromyalgia to talk to.

      Yes, the TTG-IGG was positive but not the TTG-IGA.
