Detox Symptoms?

Hi

I've noticed I'm getting an increased number of migraines since I stopped eating gluten. I was hoping that these would get less not more, but I have read that when you first remove gluten foods from your diet you can go through a kind of withdrawal.

I've been off gluten for nearly four weeks, although in the first week I was accidentally glutened twice.

Thanks - FS xx

It could be withdrawal symptoms or it could be that you are intolerant to something else that your are eating more of now that you are gluten free. You might want to keep a food and symptom journal to see if you can pinpoint any common foods that you eat before the migraine shows up. Keep in mind that there can be a delay of up to a couple days after eatign somethign for some intolerance symptoms. That is a why a food and symptom journal would help. It might also help you figure out if you are still getting small amounts of accidental gluten.

i got an increase of migraines until my fourth month gluten free, my doctor agrees it was probably withdrawal symptoms, and possibly soy allergy. I have had no migraines since which is reassuring though. Hope your okay.

      Need Advice on Doctors

      I recently had an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and blood tests, and my gastroenterologist concluded that I’m “likely gluten sensitive.” However, they wouldn’t provide a prescription or a formal doctor’s note—just a test result saying I’m likely gluten sensitive, along with the advice to avoid gluten. I’m frustrated because I know that proper doc...

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      Hi, I'm very frustrated with my problems related to the above. I find Gluten to be easier than fructose, at times even lactose b/c I love cheese. I do buy lactose free dairy products but still have problems. Have recently been adding more bread to bulk up my stools. Any suggestions for products that might help? Thx. AP

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Welcome to the forum, your symptoms are certainly consistent with possible celiac disease. Were you eating lots of gluten daily in the 6-8 weeks before the test? If not it could lead to false negative results. When you post your results please also include the reference ranges, as each lab uses their own. Good luck!

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Waiting on camera test

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all? Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms g...

I’m frustrated because I know that proper documentation could help with tax breaks for gluten-free foods and even workplace accommodations. I’m also not willing to go through another gluten challenge—it was rough! Does anyone have recommendations for a doctor (U.S. based preferably Texas) who is more understanding and willing to provide the necessary documentation for gluten sensitivity? I’d really appreciate any suggestions!

Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.
