Is Gluten Withdrawal a Thing?

[Lawster]

Hi everyone 

I’m on day three of no gluten and feel absolutely dreadful today. Brain fog, hypoglycaemia has gotten worse, constant anxiety and feel flu-ey. The only thing I’ve seen immediate improvements in is the bloating. Is this a thing or just a coincidence? I’d love to hear people’s experiences.

thanks all

Many people go though gluten withdrawals which can make one feel pretty bad. Were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

Also, be sure there is no hidden gluten in your diet.

Hi Scott. Thanks for this! I haven’t been diagnosed. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos so need to come of gluten to avoid further damage to my thyroid. Since I’m planning on coming off gluten for life to manage this condition, I don’t really see the point in being tested. I’ve got a huge number of symptoms of celiac though, and I know my chances are higher because of my other autoimmune disease, so I’m assuming I at least have gluten sensitivity. Thanks for the link, it’s really useful
