I feel bad...

I'm in my 2nd week of gluten free diet, but I feel bad, every night I get some kind of "attack", It's not really attack 1st I start feeling butterfly's in my stomach and after I feel everything around me is faster and I start to forget stuff and my hands start to shake(just a little shaking) and they get cold, and I get so many question's in my head about environment around me and everything else (I know it sounds crazy), but it goes away after few hours and It has been happening to me for about 1 week, I googled a bit and and I found out that these symptoms are something called "brain fog", did anyone had same withdraw symptoms after going gluten free or it's just me ?

I'm a 20y/o basketball player, and this has never happened to me before, I feel really bad after going gluten free, I would really like to get back on training but this is kind of stopping me, will this symptoms go away?

Please if you have something to share with me write it down below, thanks.

In some people gluten sensitivity manifests itself primarily as a nerve disease affecting the brain and the nervous system. The good news is if you are in this category and you stay one hundred percent gluten-free, the symptoms should go away over time. Here are some articles that you might find helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/ataxia-nerve-disease-neuropathy-brain-damage-and-celiac-disease/

Be sure to talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

In regards to the withdrawal....gluten withdrawal is honestly like getting off drugs, the withdrawal in some people is really bad. I can honestly say the gluten withdrawals were worse then trying to cold turkey get off Methamphetamine

I'll visit my doctor but he's out of city for 2 weeks so I had to post this, I just didn't add that this like "attack" happens at night time(8pm) and disappears in next 5 minutes and I'm fully aware of my environment and people around me and everything else, but,  just in that time, in that 5 minutes I feel bad, I kinda feel like I cant follow with conversation that is going on between people, I feel like I would vomit but I never do, and after 15 minutes I get back to fully normal level.
I'll see some of the articles that you sent me up there and find something for me, thank you!

Exactly! I just kinda got worried because my whole life I've been training, eating healthy and this happens to me, first time when I felt bad I was so scared that I'm going to die, but of course it didn't happen, I also agree with you and I think it's just a unpleasant way of getting out gluten from my system and I hope it'll end soon. Thank you a lot!

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
