Day 3 Of Gluten Free And Feeling Shaky, Low Energy

I am on day 3 of going gluten free to see if it helps my skin. I haven't had official diagnosis yet. Waiting on blood screening. I know i should be waiting but my skin was so bad I added gluten-free to the dapsone to see if it helps clear up my skin. So far, that seems to be going well. Today though, I am really struggling with lack of energy. I have been eating plenty of food that should keep me satisfied and I don't feel hungry but rather almost like I have low bloodsugar (shaky, weak ). Is this from removing gluten? I even had a nap today which I NEVER do! Lucky its still  spring break.

Yep. You have gluten withdrawal. You'll be feeling pretty lousy for a week or two but then it'll stop.

 

But if you're not done testing you really shouldn't go gluten-free yet.

Yes, ditto Bartfull about the withdrawl. I remember feeling pretty tired and soooo grumpy from about day 3 to day 14 (approx.).  Hang in there (if your testing is complete) and try to possibly increase your protein and fat intake - that's thought to help keep your blood sugar a bit more stable.

 

... or do what I did and eat gluten-free junk food/ comfort food for a couple of weeks.  LOL ;)

This is also day 3 of gluten-free for me!  And I also have skin issues, which is the main reason I'm trying this.  I haven't gotten tested for celiac, but I'm OK with that...  I have a feeling my doctor is sick of seeing me because I'm semi-hypochondriac-ish.  :)  Perhaps it's been celiac the whole time.  I ran across a website today that mentioned one of the many symptoms of celiac being discolored teeth (which dentists are quick to blame on too much fluoride); yet another check mark.  

 

I felt pretty shaky in the second half of the day.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.  :)

I feel much better tonight after eating dinner. I am tired and ready for bed though!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
