Withdrawal

Hi all,

Having been vegan (and poor) for many years I developed an intolerance for wheat. I gave up entirely three weeks back and my skin is clearing, higher energy levels, clarity of thought etc...BUT every morning I wake up with the feeling that I have been kicked in the head and beaten black and blue. It amounts to a two hour hangover every day.

I eat well-no processed food, no dairy, no additives-and my daily diet includes foods which cover all I need nutritionally.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has gone through these symptoms and if so how long did they last?

Thanks in advance.

I def. went through some kind of withdrawal symptoms after going completely gluten-free... I think the worst of it lasted only about a week or two... can't remember exactly now, it's been almost 3 years.

I definately had a period of time where I felt like a wet dishrag--fatigue, and a general feeling of being unwell. I think it was part of the healing process. I just posted this in another thread, but I began to feel better by the 4th. month. I would give it a bit more time :)

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By kim-d · Posted

      Thanks, @trents. That was what I was thinking of as well, but I'm a huge worrier and keep doubting if it was right thing to do so it seemed better to ask more experienced people. My diet won't be 100% gluten free unfortunately, but I'm thinking of using it as an opportunity to keep a food log and try to see what makes things worse.

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      Her Dr gave her meds for the ulcers and recommend the genetic blood test to rule out celiac. Got those results and the hla-dq2 is positive the hla-dq8 is negative. So I’m not sure what this all means. Waiting to hear from the Dr again. She has been eating gluten and did say she got bad stomach pain again the other day but it hasn’t happened in a few weeks so I’m not sure if it’s from gluten or the ulcers.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.
