GF reaction question (s)

[bammaw]

any reactions ("detoxing" symptoms) when going GF? If yes, what can one expect? I am very itchy the last several days. Now I do have sensory type symptoms with the MS (bugs crawling, shocks in various spots) but this is a bit more than I have every experienced. I keep loking for bugs on my skin. It's almost like an allergic reaction except no hives or anything. I thought it might be just a flair since I've been dealing with syptoms for more than a month (thinking, talking, electric shocks in my toes, facial muscles acting up around the mouth) but this is different. Anyway...I'm day 9 GF with last Wed being a full week. I just wondered if it's a reaction to going GF.

Any thoughts on this? Maybe I'm just nuts ..hee hee

Hopefully Tara will be along soon to answer your question authoritatively.

All I can tell you is that for me, there were no detox-type reactions to going gluten free. Only positive changes.

Regardless of the cause, I hope your current symptoms go away soon!

Anythings possible Susie, never had anyone with those specific symptoms. Skin could be detoxing....?

Heres the reason you do it. You will absorb B12 (plus everything else) better. You could be having a reaction to finally getting some nutrient into your body. Thats the problem w gluten - it cause malabsorption and we become so deficient.
Hang in there - it will make a difference. Feel better
