Hypoglycemia with possible Celiac?


SillyWilly

Recommended Posts

SillyWilly Newbie

Is 60's blood sugar one hour after meal a Celiac side effect? Gluten free one week, hypoglycemia symptoms the last two months at least once a day after meals. 

Fasting bs = 80

post meal occasionally spikes 150 within 30 minutes but usually spikes to 120 within 30 min. 

Always comes back down to 70's 80's BUT occasionally drops to low 60's twice 50's with all the hypo symptoms. Scares the begeebers outta me! 

I eat an apple and a banana while drinking OJ to get within normal range.

Always eating every two-three hours but still having hypo reactions. 

Celiac possibility of malnourishment?

Hypoglycemia could very well be related to celiac disease:

Here's from a member of the forum, Peter: 

I would not say that a gluten-free diet would necessarily help  someone with hypoglycemia unless they actually had celiac disease.   So, in your case (if you were diagnosed), you should go on a gluten-free diet and a lower carb diet to better manage hypoglycemia issues.  You can go on a lower carb diet right now.  That's would not affect the outcome of your celiac disease blood tests.  

Believe me, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, etc. can all be affected by celiac disease.  Most resolve with the gluten-free diet.  In my case, no.  Diabetes just runs in my family despite me being thin and fit.  (Thanks, Dad!)

In the meantime, help your lows by adding measured foods so you do not over correct.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.
