Is This Sleepiness Normal?

I still fighting my doctor (or actually my insurance company to be technical, doc is on board) to get celiac testing. Since I'm still waiting on testing, I have to keep the gluten in my diet...

In an attempt to get everything I can connected to gluten, I have been keeping a "food and symptom" log. I have noticed when I eat something with high amounts of gluten (ie a coue burritos, a sub, etc) I tend to end up falling asleep within 15-30 minutes after eating. I will eat, clean up my plate and such, then as soon as I sit down on the couch, poof! I'm asleep for several hours. People at work ask me why I don't take a full lunch, but instead will munch on gluten free things (gotta love my Fritos) all day, and I can't really get into the details of why. But are those sleep spells just me, or is there documented proof that it could be gluten causing it?

I have heard other people connecting gluteney foods to nap time.  I just know that I could have taken a nap nearly anytime when I ate gluten.  I also fell suddenly fell asleep in the midst of things.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I agree with @trents, could be worth having another scope. Oddly enough I'm in the same boat except my current odd sensation is near my appendix, I think I'll request a colonoscopy for peace of mind.

      Yes, take this up with your GI doc during the next visit. It might be a good idea to get an upper GI scoping done if you haven't had one done since diagnosis.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      You can take more than one GliadinX before eating out, but I'd avoid items that you know contain gluten, for example the chicken with beer in the coating. It's really designed for small amounts of cross-contamination, and should not be used to purposefully include gluten in your diet.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I will be doing in the new year. I had a thought that it might be Diverticulitis but I have no other symptoms related to that.

      Thanks for the reply. My burning sensation is bottom left side of my belly button so not directly below the sternum. My diet has been very austere for a while, I am eating in last few yrs what ive been eating now. No alcohol, 1 cup of coffee in the morning ,carnivore based , I have cut down on how much I eat as well lots of dairy Greek yog cheese etc, I am fitter than ever and don't have the symptoms I had pre diagnoses such has chronic fatigue ,migraines etc just this burning sensation.
