Many people report withdrawal symptoms after going gluten free. Most likely, just drink plenty of water, hang in there, and you will be feeling much better soon!

However, I have read that because of all the chemicals in our water supply, menopause is happening early for some women. So while your doctor is probably right that it isn't menopause (most likely gluten withdrawal), his reasoning isn't exactly bullet proof. Apparently women as young as 15 can experience menopause.

The sweats is one of my most prominent traits... Sometimes I used to have to change my clothes twice in the middle of the night. Also I usually get the start of a small migraine before the sweats start. I am literally soaked form head to toe in 5 minutes... One dr. also mentioned to me I was going through early menopause that was three years ago. I am 30. Those signs for me are being glutened and on the verge of being very sick. I have been sick since 7 and have been gluten free for three years.

ohmygosh i get the sweats too and the headaches but not as bad

i hate having the sweating issue though! im a teenage girl and i wish i didnt have to worry about it its so annoying!

i ended up having to get botox shots under my arms to stop the sweating there (ask your dermintologist they can also do hands, feet and other places sometimes)

but i still sweat more than usual in other places

i wonder if theres some way to fix it!!!??

Hi, I don't have the sweats but,I was diagnosed back in March by biopsy. Before I was diagnosed I almost never had headaches,if I did I could almost think them away. The last couple of weeks I have been getting headaches,so I was wondering the same thing as you. Were they being caused by gluten withdrawl. The headaches aren't really bad but I get them almost everyday.

Makes me wonder if it's possible though.

Drenching night sweats can also be caused by babesia or malaria. I have babesia ... it's spread by tickbites and is typically a co-infection of Lyme Disease.

I don't know if this is an issue at all for you, but since it's generally overlooked (it took me 35 years to get diagnosed!!!), I thought I'd mention it.

If you were going through early menopause, your cycle would reflect the hormonal changes.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
