Blood Sugar, Fatigue, And Vitamin Deficiencies

Just wondering if anyone out there has any familiarity with the vitamin deficiencies affecting gluconeogenesis and blood sugar levels.

I ask because I have a hypothesis that those who are gluten-free may be more likely to suffer from specific vitamin deficiencies that can interfere with the body's ability to convert food to energy (gluconeogenesis) and also to access stored energy reserves (fat). Symptoms could include anything from fatigue and headaches, reactive hypoglycemia, heart palpitations and sleeping poorly, or any other blood-sugar symptom. 

This could be a problem before going gluten free due to malabsorption, or after going gluten-free due to the avoidance of foods most often fortified with certain vitamins. 

Anyone have any thoughts? I already know that there are studies that prove that deficiencies in B1 and B6 will decrease gluconeogenesis. But I'm specifically looking for insight from those who are gluten-free or have suffered malabsorption caused by gluten and how their deficiencies have created or affected problems with blood sugar.

Interesting....

 

Have you checked the gluten files?  That forum gets into more technical reports and discussions.

Hadn't heard of the Gluten Files before but they didn't seem to have anything related to blood sugar, or if they do, it is buried.

Se la vie.

I'm sorry.

 

Your question is very interesting, especially with Celiac connection to Diabetes.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
