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!

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hey, mistake in my post,  pancreas TAIL is on the left side.  Head is middle back of belly,

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
