I get this way if I eat small amounts of certain foods, normally accompanied with a fever kind of allergic reaction. I also get fatigued and bloated with sugars, starches, and certain carbs.

Your issue might be with a ingredient that your body has issues with causing you to feel tired. Perhaps try the ingredients separate in the foods that bother you the most. I might also suggest getting a allergy test done as your body could be having minor allergic reaction to something.

Do you have celiac disease?  If so, look to your diet for hidden gluten exposures or have your thyroid checked.  Hard to provide advice with so little information.

I agree that allergies or food intolerances can cause fatigue (so can untreatd celiac disease).  I ate some gluten-free Challah bread from a gluten-free bakery yesterday (it was heavenly), but it made me sick (not hubby).  Zapped once again by Xanthan Gum!  I guess this intolerance is never going away.  I take comfort and assume the risks because it lasts just a day, unlike gluten (triggers antibodies/flare-uph which can affect me for three to six months).  Am going to make this bread myself using other gums.  

Real severe fatigue usually indicates that my thyroid is off.  I need a nap when I am hypothyroid or when I have the flu.

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
