Digesting Wheat Products And Extreme Tiredness

Recently, someone treated me to a pizza and I ate 2 pieces of it pizza.

I have celiac disease and I made a conscious decision to eat some pizza... I haven't had any in ages.

After, ingesting the wheat contaminated product... I felt extremely tired and sick.

I mean.. I felt really tired instantly.. I couldn't even keep my eyes open...

My heart even seemed to skip a beat or something strange..

The next day, my abdomen was quiet painful.

Have any of you experienced anything like this?????

That seems like a pretty normal response. Almost the exact same thing happens to me.

Yes, I get extremely lethargic when I get into gluten.

the responses get worse for most people the longer they are on the diet. most people get to the point that cross contamination makes them sick so by eating something that is full of gluten that seems like it is normal

Yes, I find myself extremely lethargic after ingesting gluten.

I have noticed that gluten affects me worse now than before...

I just never expected to feel comatose from ingesting wheat products.

this is how i felt before i was diagnosed. i always thought it was sugar or carb overload, but it all makes sense now. pancakes, bagels and cake used to nearly send me into a como. but gluten free ones don't!

(ps don't eat pizza, silly!! make gluten free pizza!)

hehehe.. I know...

I am going to make a gluten free pizza this weekend..

The gluten free foods...don't taste the same as normal ones..

I have just decided.. I am going to have to stick to this diet for better or worse.

All the suffering wasn't worth it in the end...

      Oats gluten free?

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones...

      Oats gluten free?

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins...

      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Oats gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
