Fatigue - Ugh!

Hey Gang-

 

Well, did it again. Ate something (though I'm still investigating exactly what IT is) that has gluten in it, and I'm paying for it. What I don't understand is that I've been incredibly careful. But I do know, after living with this for almost 12 years now, that being extremely careful is no guarantee. 

I've noticed from reading the boards here that many people have fatigue listed as one of the main symptoms, and most have it within hours of eating something with gluten. However, my fatigue doesn't hit until late, at least a couple days and sometimes a full week after being glutened. Is this normal? I don't usually get strong gastro symptoms, aside from bloating and C. Just wondering if anyone else gets fatigue about 48 hours after the initial glutening. 

Thanks everyone!

Yes - I typically have delayed fatigue and other typical GI symptoms. It's variable from person to person.

I've only been gluten-free about 5 months now and have only been glutened once - so I have limited experience to share.  The one time I got glutened I got cold sweats and couldn't get warm - this started a few hours after having eaten the gluten cooties - so about 10pm.  Then by the next morning I was exceptionally exhausted.  Like the feeling you get after having the flu for 3 days.  I felt completely spent and hollow and all I wanted to do was sit and stare into space or sleep.  After about 5 days I felt pretty much normal again but noticed I was much more irritable than usual for quite awhile after that - like a few weeks maybe.

Brain fog hits me almost exactly 16 hours later. A week seems a little extreme to me.

It takes 2-3 days for the fatigue to hit me. Since I know when it's coming, when I have obviously been hit I try to get a few extra chores in order now in that spare day or two before I end up completely flat. Sometimes I'll throw a casserole or two in the freezer so I don't have to cook so much. Other than the GI symptoms that hit me in 30 minutes, and being gassy until the fatigue comes I'm fine until it hits.

I've only been glutened once and it was about 48 hours in that it all hit. Fatigue, aches, cramping and D. It's been 4 days now and am seeing improvement finally in the last 24 hours. It's like being really sick. Ugh.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      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.
