Crazy Fatigue

Hi all,

I have my endoscopy on Wednesday morning (been waiting MONTHS). I’m excited to finally be off my gluten challenge. My symptoms were awful at first, but my body seemed to adapt a bit, however I’m still dealing with brain fog, joint pain, inflammation, migraines, neuropathy, etc.. the last few weeks my fatigue has been debilitating (especially yesterday and today). I have another autoimmune disease (Sjogren’s) for which I had been taking Methotrexate which I discontinued due to having the flu and Covid but also due to fatigue. I’m starting to wonder now if these episodes of fatigue weren’t the MTX, but actually caused by gluten. 
today I didn’t get out of bed until 11 but I could have kept on sleeping… I have super vivid dreams and in a very deep sleep. Yesterday, I slept in late (9:30) but then watched a movie with my kiddo where I fell asleep for 90% of it.
Did anyone else experience anything similar pre diagnosis? Im so sick of being a zombie…

If you have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease eating gluten can definitely cause fatigue. 

How did the biopsy go? You posted this on July 4th, which is a holiday in the USA, so it looks like this slipped through the cracks.

Hi Scott,

You're so kind to follow up! My biopsy was negative which was a relief. I was diagnosed with a very small hernia (which I honestly think is a result of my pregnancy), and eosinophilic esophagitis. My GI feels it’s NCGS and I agree. Even 48h off of gluten changed my body and mood. I stopped eating gluten on 7/6 and my digestion just snapped into place. Acne has calmed down. No heartburn. Less gas. Bloat is going down, also fluid retention. Even my face looks less swollen.

love my celiac pals but I’m happy I can deal with some cross contamination. 
I continue to work on being diligent about my diet anyways as I have another autoimmune disease and want to heal my gut.

lots of love to this forum!

      Nightmares

      By Femke · Posted

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
