Is This Sleepiness Normal?

I still fighting my doctor (or actually my insurance company to be technical, doc is on board) to get celiac testing. Since I'm still waiting on testing, I have to keep the gluten in my diet...

In an attempt to get everything I can connected to gluten, I have been keeping a "food and symptom" log. I have noticed when I eat something with high amounts of gluten (ie a coue burritos, a sub, etc) I tend to end up falling asleep within 15-30 minutes after eating. I will eat, clean up my plate and such, then as soon as I sit down on the couch, poof! I'm asleep for several hours. People at work ask me why I don't take a full lunch, but instead will munch on gluten free things (gotta love my Fritos) all day, and I can't really get into the details of why. But are those sleep spells just me, or is there documented proof that it could be gluten causing it?

I have heard other people connecting gluteney foods to nap time.  I just know that I could have taken a nap nearly anytime when I ate gluten.  I also fell suddenly fell asleep in the midst of things.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
