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.

      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.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
