Hi.

 

Has anyone else suffered with low blood sugar as a symptom of Celiac disease? It was my main symptom and caused me no end of problems.

 

I'd be interested to know

 

Thanks

As a symptom? No. Not me.

 

However, i have noticed that i have more blood sugar issues now after going gluten free. If i don't eat within a certain time period, then i start getting the jitters, which goes into the shakes, and a general feeling of icky-ness. Once i eat something, it'll go away, but still, its not fun.

  • Hi. Thanks for the reply. Mine is the other way around. Since I was 16 I've had hypo's and 35 years later when my doctor and me accidently found out it was celiac, my hypo's got much much better. We accidently found out after I went to the doctor cos I had bad diahorrea after making and eating a sponge cake. I though it was the eggs, doc said "unlikely - try cutting out the wheat." Woah!!! What a difference. Much better and calmer and I then noticed my hypo's were a lot less and when I do get them they're not as bad.

I've had panic and anxiety since 16 and it's all been down to Celiac. Wasted my life though. Grrrrrr

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
