Crampy, yeah those sound about right. And Kathie is right, there is probably substantial variation in what and how long the worst of those symptoms take to clear up.
My son's meltdowns go away in about 4 to 5 days if he stays GF after getting glutened. But there are still episodes of him being "hard to reach" and crazy hyperactivity for a while. He had intense echolalia for a week or so after being GF for a month after his dx. It's a little harder for me to look at myself from the _outside_ in this regards but hang in there, maybe look on some of the neuro boards there are. I can't remember how to find those, sorry, but there are some interesting and difficult overlaps for some celiacs and Gluten intolerants.

I don't think it happens to everyone. I didn't experience any withdrawl. Don't worry about it, bbillcee. If it happens, it happens. You will get through it.

Interesting.......I don't think I had any withdrawals......I can tell I feel *clearer*.....for lack of a better word......my what I thought were hot flashes that were ungodly have stopped and I am sleeping better as I am not tossing and turning every half to an hour all night.....I just remember waking up about have as much now.....because for years I never slept, and the fatigue was just killing me......I have only been gluten free, it will be a month on the 29th......so I guess I can't say I went through any withdrawals, but I do feel better......for the most part,......now yesterday, I felt a tad queasy... no long.....and my gas is back, but just for a few hours a day instead of all day......

Thanks!!

this is odd...gluten free for 2 days and my year old rash on my feet that was healed for a month or so is itching like all hell and i have a headache all day.....can these be possible withdrawls or is it to early yet?
