Does Anyone Know If ....

Hey there!

I was just wondering if anyone knows if improper digestion would cause someone to have hypoglycemic attacks.

I've been getting these alot latly and they are begining to really bother me...

I had hypoglycemia when i was 15 and it went away out of the blue and now its back with a vengence along with all the other symptoms

I have been noticing that my BM's are made mostly of undigestive food, and every three hours of so i get shaky, my vision blurres, i cant walk properly, i walk into things, my heart races, i sweat but i'm cold .... the doctors keep telling me that these are anxiety attacks because my sugar is in normal range the kicker is that if i eat something right away and have a drink it subsides within 5-15 minutes....

I've mention this a few times on this forum but its really bothering me, its the worst symptom i have other than the sob.....

I'll be going back to the GI in a few weeks and i really need to get this sorted out i have to get back to work time is passing by soo quickly and i'm just sitting here praying for answers.....

Thanks for listening

Are you waiting for a formal diagnosis before being gluten-free? I hope not. Try taking some sublingual B12 if you don't already. It may help with the problems. They sound almost like the ataxia I used to have. My DD also had spells like these when excercising. Also get on the diet if you are not already or at least do the BRA diet, bananas, rice, plain and applesauce for a while.

Hey there !

thanks for your responses!

Ravenwoodglass i'm not on the gluten-free diet yet, i had my first appointment with a gi specialist a little over a week ago and hes ordered a few tests.

I also finally got a list of antibodies run in the blood test i had from my gps sectetay and i found out that the full panel wasn't run so right now i'm trying to eat the two - three pieces of bread (i have been for some time) when i go back to him in a few weeks i'm going to request he run the full panel....

anyways i'm hoping that it will be the answers to all my misery

thanks!!!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
