Extremely low level of energy


Nelly

Recommended Posts

Nelly Rookie

I am 44 years old diagnosed  with celiac in March 2015. I am hypothyroid also for which I am taking medicine. I am also taking all my vitamins and calcium supplements.before going gluten free I had stomach issues and occasional body aches but since I am on gluten free diet I am suffering from so many problems and low energy level has made me feel miserable. The more I move around do some regular chores I completely collapse. With low energy l Have joint pains too and whenever I do a little more physical work i have low grade fever . Please help I was fine before I went gluten free but now I feel horrible. I have left my job. Because of this my relationships are suffering.

I would recommend going back to your doctor and get retested for celiac disease to confirm that you are diet compliant.   When was the last time your thyroid was checked?  Your prescription might need adjusting.   Fever is not one of the 300 symptoms of celiac disease so it may be something else.   Again, I think a doctor visit is in order.

Doctors have really disappointed me . They have no knowledge of celiac and they don't even bother to even listen to you. My thyroid Was .68 so the doctor decreased my dose so it went up to 19.6 and Then again I went back to my original dose of 100 mcg of thyroxin. I understand the lethargy can be related with it but even a slight physical activity Leads to low grade fever which is very strange. The whole day I spent sitting on a couch . Sometimes I feel so embarrassed and no one understands the condition I am going through. I feel I am just charged like two bars of a mobile and the more I do some work the battery is discharged. Miserable.......

Are you sure that all of yur vitamins and supplements are gluten free?

Is your brand of thyroid replacement really gluten free?  Confirm with the manufacturer and check their website or insert packet for the ingrediant list as formulations change.  

Seriously, you could have mono on top of everything.  Just had a member who was diagnosed with it last month.  There is a blod test to check.  

Here is a dumb idea, but I thought my kid was running a low fever.  Turns out her digital thermometer was not calibrated right.  The old-fashioned Mercury thermometer was correct.  Had to buy a new digital.

Yes all my supplements and my thyroid medicine is gluten free. I use mercury thermometer and when I have low grade fever my My pains are bit severe than normal and plus I have a Bad headache which I usually don't have

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
