Question by Priscilla: Can going gluten free make you sick?
I went gluten free about 7 days ago to see if I have celiac disease. I need to be on this trial for a month. At first I was seeing some improvements in my health but now I am really hungry and sick to my stomach when I don’t eat.

It could be that your body is adjusting, or has become more sensitive to small amount of gluten you are ingesting. My wife has been gluten free for almost two months. The first week or two she felt much better, but more recently she seems to have reactions to even the smallest amount of gluten. I would suggest checking all your food, cosmetics and medications/vitamins for hidden gluten, and maybe keep a food journal to pinpoint what might be making you feel worse.
Give your answer to this question below!
Why are you doing it this way? You should get a Celiac Sprue blood test or an endoscopy.
Anyway, I would take a look at what you are eating. There are tons of gluten free foods. Make sure you are getting the nutrients you need.
I would say no… cutting something out of your diet, especially something unecessary, shouldn’t make you sick at all. I would bet that its something else… because I don’t think it would make much sense if it was because of the gluten-free thing.
first of all when eating gluten free you may need to eat a little more at first, because your body is so malnourished. its trying to balance out the different vitamins and minerals it needs to work. Your body is telling you its hungry because its trying to get you better. listen to what your body is telling you. keep eating fruits and veggies and try a multi vitamin just for an extra boost. give it time. in time everything will sort itself out.
ps ive been celiac for 7 years and if you have any questions feel free to email me at :
