I am one month today gluten-free...but after I eat I am exhausted....I am taking a multi vit that is gluten-free and and extra vit D and calcium tablet that is also gluten-free....anyway...my question is since my vit levels were low, how long before I feel like they are working; or am I always going to be tired after eating....I am sitting here at work ready to fall asleep...and I don't think that will work....lol

Thanks in advance for your responses. :D

What are you eating?

Well for lunch today I had a chicken breast and about 1/2 cup plain rice (with a tiny bit of butter). But it happens after everything I eat...and only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes...then it goes away...it could be that I am not used to eating more than once a day and since I have started being gluten-free I now eat all 3 meals with tiny snacks in between...I don't know...lol I am trying to play doctor :)

Thanks

This may be silly question since obviously you are under a doctors care but have you had a test for glucose intolerance or diabetes? My husband and my sister, both diabetics, fall asleep after eating all their meals, maybe only 15 or 20 minutes. I knew my husband always did this (which was hard before he retired!) but recently my sister visited from out of town and I would look up and they were both asleep after each of our meals.

You are correct in thinking I am under a doctors care...and I have been tested for diabetes...my sugar levels are great, along with blood pressure, etc. The only things that are icky in blood tests are...obviously celiac disease showing up...lol and raised liver enzymes, cholestoral (UGH), and low vit levels (vit D/calcium/b12) for which I am taking gluten free vit for. So not sure what is going on....maybe too many carbs (rice?)...I do not have a clue. :) Thank you for trying though.

It may take awhile since your body is finally absorbing the nutrients it needs. Is there anything that perks you up? Fruit, an energy bar (I like Think Thin protein bars). Maybe that would help?

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins. Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content. However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system. I do hope you give the AIP diet a try. I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      Lymph nodes in neck + thyroid issues

      By Blue Roan · Posted

      @RMJ@Scott Adams@knitty kitty, Thank you for all of your responses, tips, and suggestions. I'm very grateful that this website exists. It makes me feel a lot less alone in my celiac journey!  The endocrinologist had me do a neck ultrasound just to be safe. Thankfully, thyroid and lymph nodes came back normal. knitty kitty, my Vitamin D is on the higher end of normal, but I will definitely consider the dentist route next time I have my checkup if I'm still noticing issues. Thank you! Scott, thanks for suggesting the ENT. I may consider seeing one if things don't resolve on their own. I am thankfully feeling a bit better now, so hopefully, this is just some sort of residual celiac inflammation like you mentioned, Scott. After all of the numerous tests and clinical visits I've had all year, I'm going to give my body (and wallet) a break for a few months to rest and heal without the stress of doctor appts/labwork and whatnot. Perhaps the health anxiety is also contributing to some of my symptoms.  Thank you once again for sharing your stories.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.
