Last May I joined the forum and I had gone gluten free a couple of months before. I suffered 30+ years and have tried many things to cope with undiagnosed celiac. Now, I know what enemy I am facing, so I can cope much better. I am no longer tired all of the time. I don't wake up as tired as I was before retiring anymore. I don't always need a nap. Thinking back over the years, there are many things that helped. These will be in order of my recollection:
The herb fennel. I made cookies with these, lost water weight, and gained energy.
Exercise: Sometimes it would perk me up, but alas other times it devastated me.
CoEnzyme Q 10 supplement. (It gave me energy and more alertness.) In the end of my gluten years, it no longer helped. I take a little now with my supplements.
I cut out sweets
I raise my own food.
Sunshine.
Naps (Sometimes help)
I got mold out of the house. (Except that washing machine)
Back adjustments: Six years back I nearly died. I began having adjustments and doing exercises for my back. In the beginning, I noticed I sometimes came out of the fog after doing these exercises. Sometimes I noticed that I could breath easier.
Vitamin Supplements as recommended by my chiropractor. These were miracle workers for me.
Get enough fat. I get to feeling sluggish without coconut, olive, or butter with 3 meals a day.
Gluten Free Diet
Grain Free Diet
Pancreatic Enzymes
Washing nuts and legumes before eating.(This is here Thanks to Steph)
Food intolerance test/Rotational diet
Herbs for adrenal gland support
I will come back and edit this if and when I think of more things. If you are tired, don't give up until you try all of these and more. I made much better progress when I had help.
IF you have been helped by something put it below.
