You definitely added too many things at once, making it hard to tell what you're reacting to. My son Tom has epilepsy. We went dairy-free and discovered it was his major seizure trigger. As a result of going dairy-free, we were able to wean him off his seizure meds (yay!). And, we've been able to determine the trigger of all seizures since then. One of those being *coconut*. Tom has been GF since last February. Gluten seems to be a source of brain-fog, so it's harder for me to tell. We added cod liver oil at some point since going GF and I did not notice any differences (good or bad), although I do believe it's good for his brain and we're continuing it. I *just* started him on a liquid version of l-glutamine yesterday morning. I noticed his legs looked a little rashy last night, but haven't decided if it's a coincidence or not.

I don't know if this helps you at all. I really think you should wait a few days and then add them back one at a time.... preferably a week apart. Good luck, and I hope your stomach settles back down quickly.

Quick add: we got our l-glutamine through our DAN! doctor, so I wasn't worried about the GFDF factor.
