Waves of feeling like crap?

[DomJoe]

Hello all, I am new to this site and just recently diagnosed with Celiacs, I am still learning what I can and cannot eat and how this whole recovery works. I am a 20 year old male and have been gluten free for 4 months now. Throughout this four months there have been times when I have felt great but then there are also times when I feel like doing nothing but sleeping all day, my energy is very low and I have to force myself to do anything, I get a foggy feeling in m head, almost like a feeling that I am in a dream or have been drugged. I am just curious if this is a normal thing to occur and if it will ever stop and how long does this usually last?

This is how I feel when accidentally ingesting gluten, most from cross contamination or lack of awareness of its presence.

It varies from person to person, healing, how actual gluten free you are (contaminated foods, eating out, shared living area etc), diet, and supplements. Please read over the newbie 101 section to make sure your doing it right....there is a huge learning curve and things you would not even think of.

Many times we have to supplement, Magnesium, B-vitamins, Vitamin D, Iron are just a few, look up deficiency symptoms of these and see what I mean they match issues. Our guts are damaged and have issues absorbing these, also gluten free food is not fortified (the liquid multivitamin crap they spray in gluten foods often to make them so we can live off the junk).
Try supplementing with Liquid Health (best as it is liquid you add to a drink) Stress & Energy, Neurological Support, 2tbsp each 3 times a day, and Vitamin D3 Drops and taking Doctors Best Magnesium powder before bed. These should help with many of your issues.

I can get confusion or foggy brain on occasion. I think that avoiding grain, dairy, coffee/caffine, alcohol as well as stress engagement helps with that. If someone has seasonal allergies they may feel foggy or depressed.  I think it is the same way for some other people. The particular foods that people react to may be different for different people though. A way to figure it out is to rotate what foods you eat for a week or two and see if you notice any changes. It is fairly common for someone with celiac disease to have other food sensitivities.
