<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have self-diagnosed celiac disease/gluten sensitivity. I've been on a gluten-free diet for 3 weeks now and I'm delighted to say I've experienced huge improvements in my physical symptoms (depression, stomach pains, bloating, canker sores etc.. ). However, other problems that I've been having (which I think may be related) have been exacerbated to a very uncomfortable degree. Since going gluten-free I am in a state of near continuous chronic anxiety and panic - I feel like my skin is crawling. I've also been suffering from very uncomfortable muscle pains and cramps - mostly in my shoulders and back. I'm an otherwise healthy 23 year old male, and am finding this very difficult to deal with. Prior to my self-diagnosis, I had been medically-diagnosed with a B12 deficiency. I'm taking 1000mcg Methycobalamin B12 lozenges daily, a general B vitamin and a general multi-vitamin complex. I am fairly certain I am gluten free (only eating food I know myself to be GF, and have verified supplements I'm taking are GF). I have searched the archives, and the web for information relating to GF withdrawal effects, but haven't found much useful information other than that it does exist. I would sincerely appreciate if anyone who knows more about this to contact me with any advice they can offer. I will summarise.
