Exhaustion


johnojohno

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. So I have been gluten free since july, I have had no energy for about two years. Still suffer from the anxiety and depression side. Had suppments/tablets etc. Havent had any good response from them. Sleeping bad. Just super tired all the time. Wonder if I dont get enough carbs in my diet but I believe i do. Only things that pull me out of it is caffeince, coffee etc, but that irritates my stomach. 

 

Any ideas, tips? I have probably left some info out here as I am super tired even piecing this information together. Chronic fatique. I have the weakest form of celiacs I believe, marsh...something or other.  But the mildest, minir ware on the villi. So I am just pretty confused with why I am still so exhausted after 5/6 months

John,

Didn’t you say in  previous posts that you ate a burger at McDonalds just this past week and that weeks/months earlier you have had some gluten exposures?  The learning curve to the diet is steep.  Each glutening  will set you back.  I think you said your follow-up antibodies check was good but was that taken close to the times you ate gluten?  Even if you do not get gut issues, celiac disease can do collateral damage, like not sleeping well and mental issues (e.g. depression and cognitive issues).  I think you were homeless for a while sleeping on friend’s couches.  That can even exhaust a healthy person.

Did you get a bone scan?  

Hang in there.  Soon you will feel better.  Most here take a year or longer.  Really.

Not everything is celiac.... Have you had a sleep study to check for sleep apnea? I have severe apnea, and wear a cpap mask every night. I also get 8-9 hours of sleep every night and more on weekends. I'd be dragging if I didn't. I used to nearly fall asleep at red lights. If you can start getting better sleep, it will seriously help the depression.

johnojohno,

I have a couple links that might help you with your depression and one of them also will help you with your energy/sleep problems/chronic fatigue.

Here is the one about B-Vitamins and depression entitled "supplementation after one year improves mood".

Open Original Shared Link

It should be noted that improvement was shown at three months though.

Here is the one on Magnesium and the  one that will help you the quickest and also will help your fatigue and sleep problems entitled "rapid recovery from depression using magnesium".

Open Original Shared Link

Both B-vitamins and Magnesium Glycinate work quicker when taken with each meal for 3 months then you can taper back to twice a day for the next 3 months.

***** this is not medical advice only my personal experience with taking Magnesium.

Magnesium really helped my depression.  It will also cause lucid dreams usually in the first couple of weeks after beginning and you will find your sleep is peaceful and you wake up rested.

If you have charlie horses at night (waking you form sleep) magnesium should help this too. . .. I know it did mine.  It is wonderful to not be fatigued these days.  I know how you feel.  Find it as a Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate and your body will thank you for it with increased energy.

As chlorophyll is to the plant so is Magnesium to the animal.

For anxiety try some Zinc lozenges (the kind you  buy for a cold) sublingually (under the tongue) your body

self regulates the amount of Zinc you need by producing a sour/metallic tastes in our mouths.

If the 2nd or 3rd lozenge becomes sour then spit it out you have enough zinc in your body.  This should help a lot of the anxiety you are having.

You might also have **** (stars) white specs in your nail bed if are low in Zinc as if you injured your fingernail . . .  a classic sign of a zinc deficiency.

I used to have them on my nails.  Since taking Zinc (as a lozenge) they are now gone and so is my anxiety.

***again this is not medical advice only things that helped my depression and chronic fatigue over the years.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks guys. Really appreciate it. 

 

I have had the magnesium Glycinate. Any recommendations on this? I have got some but i only used them for a few weeks and the dreams got a little bit extreme. Thanks again guys. i need to look a little more into it i guess. It is a frustrating disease as im sure you guys know.

The Dreams is a sign your dosing it right actually, a bit of meditation/thinking about something you want to dream about helps you control them a bit more and can make them fun, I love lucid ones.

Other thoughts I use Liquid Health Stress & Energy and Liquid Health Neurological Support 1 tbsp each 3 time a day before a meal also in a drink. I found eating tons of healthy fats like pumpkin seeds protein, nut butters etc. Helps with my mood.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
    • Scatterbrain
      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
