I believe I went through a withdrawal when I gave up gluten. I had to stay pretty close to a bathroom for about 10 to 14 days. Be nice to your body (whole, unprocessed foods), consider dropping dairy for awhile and sit tight for a few days. You should start feeling better pretty soon.

Mine lasted about a week. Felt yucky (like the flu) and had a terrible headache for about 4 days. Gradually it got better and then it got great. Hang in there.

Whole unprocessed foods like fruit veggies plain turkey tofu, tried neworleans gluten-free rice yesterday and it was great. Coconut juice water? Think the gluten-free vanilla flavor coconut milk may have been part? Just not sure what set off such bad attack. Read here about withdrawla n staying away from rice dreams milk

Dropping dairy and soy, and oats for a while maybe helpful. Also taking pro-biotics and avoiding sugar and processed foods. Eating a simple whole foods diet is easier for your body to handle. It can take some time for your gut flora to re-balance and your digestive system to adapt. Avoiding caffeine may help also.

Forgot to add: I craved pineapple - ate a whole pineapple almost every day the first week. Read later that fresh pineapple helps with healing the gut? Not sure where I read that, but it makes sense. I also felt like I was sweating more - like going through detox or something. Hot showers with full body scrub seemed to make me feel better as well. Getting out and getting exercise helped too. You are almost there!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in...

Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!
