How Long Do The Headaches Last?

I'm sure I'm getting gluten withdrawal headaches, and I'm about 3 weeks gluten-free, I think. (at least.) they're pretty brutal, and the first lasted 2 days, and then vanished. I've had a few since then, and theyre getting progressively better, but holy heck, I'm already tired of them. I assume there's a detox period, and all that. But how long might it last?

I had never gotten migraines before in my life but started to experience them during the 2nd to 4th weeks of withdrawal. Mine went away after that. Lately I've only been getting stress headaches, which aren't fun either :(

Feel better!

2-4 weeks into it is managable. i'll hang in there, i think, thanks :)

i'm sorry about your stress headaches! those are awful, too. stress isn't as easy to eliminate as gluten. :/

My headaches lasted about 2 months but were quite mild compared to the migranes I used to get. They started a couple days into the diet.

The first meal prooved it to me on the intolerance, I did not have pain after eating. Or the other 10 or so gastro pains/cramps/nausea etc.

then other problems started disappearing.

Don't for a second even think about eating gluten to stop the headaches. It didn't for me when I got dosed by a restaurant.

Keep thinking "I'm doing this for my health"

best wishes

Oh I didn't mean I was considering eating gluten! I'm done forever. I just don't want to lose my mind before the headaches go away!

But oh yes. I'll never knowingly eat gluten ever again. Ever.

Congratulations on your resolve. I found out today what I hope is the last sneaky wheat in my diet. The little crackers, actually fried won ton wrappers at my Chinese restaurant. I was told they were rice, twice. Today a different person said they had wheat. He brought out an unopened package, first ingredient was wheat.

I google things like 'gluten free won ton' so far I have not been disappointed. Even gluten free churros and matzo ball soup and buttermilk waffles.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
