gluten withdrawal.

"Be aware that you may suffer withdrawal symptoms, as we are often addicted to the foods we are allergic to. These can range from fairly mild to severe - flu like feelings, headaches, etc. This should pass within 3-6 days and you should start feeling better." - quote about the effects of gluten withdrawal (article found here)

other symptoms: food cravings, disorientation, irritability, sleepiness, depression, mental fogginess, fatigue, and/or shortness of breath.

so this explains a lot about how I feel today. Bummer. Oh gluten, we did so well together for so long... I had no idea how addictive you are...
