So! This is Day 2 of the rest of my GF life, as the doc said I may be gluten intolerant and suggested cutting gluten from my diet.

It's now the evening of the second day, and I feel very shaky! I still ate a fair amount today (my diary is open for anyone who wants to see), mostly healthy, plus 1 choc bar (haha -- I checked and didn't see any gluten in the ingredient list!).

I'm just wondering if this shakiness is a "withdrawal" symptom, or completely unrelated?

    Yes, you're probably detoxing. I was headachy, shakey, irritable, tired, etc. for several weeks.

    I have celiac disease and never had the shakes when I gave up gluten. But one of my side effects is anxiousness... I do take medicines for it.. I don't know if yours is related to your condition but I would check with the doctor....

    You're probably in gluten withdrawal. Just stick with it, and it will pass, don't worry.

    Hey - it sounds like withdrawal.

    Are you only taking out gluten, or something else at the same time? Are you replacing the gluten with other carbs? If not you'd be detoxing from sugar as well.
