I feel WORSE & with more Headaches - Ugh!

I have had a foggy headache all morning.  Took some ibuprofen about an hour ago and that's not helping. I have been on the computer all morning paying bills and reading stuff so maybe I need to lay down. I'm about to put some pork in the crock pot for supper.  I'm thankful I can still eat deer, pork, chicken and beef. :) 

I have been feeling weak, foggy, stiff, depressed and have more headaches since I cut out gluten. I have had mini panic attacks and felt as though I may have a heart attack/stroke or just feeling like there is something bad going to happen to me.  When those times hit, I try to turn on the TV and watch something funny to get me laughing and not thinking about it anymore.  That works, but I hope I'm not just masking something I should really be paying attention to.  I think I'm going to call my dotor today and get some tests run just to be on the safe side.

I'm starting to wonder if I should have cut out sugar instead of gluten??? I was wondering if when going off of gluten someone could feell worse before feeling better and I found a few sites.  If you'd like to read some, they are:

  3. http://www.probioticsmart.com/blog/three-stages-to-starting-a-gluten-free-diet-successfully/
 I know that gluten can't be 'good' for our bodies, but I'm not sure cutting out gluten completely and drastically was the answer.  I'm not turning back now, I'm just saying. lol  I know when I quit smoking 7 months ago I felt the same way.....I felt worse before I felt better.  I almost gave in several times.  Even occasionally these days I crave a cigarette in hopes it would help me 'feel better' but my brain takes over with that all so clever common sense! :)
