Hypoglycemia

I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and heart palpitations and  was then subsequently tested for diabetes, heart disease and insulinoma. After everything checked out good I looked at my supplements and found out that my recently acquired calcium was not gluten free (didn't have any gluten added but was not certified gluten free). 2 days after quitting the calcium I am symptom free. After alot of research I have found out that hypoglycemia without diabetes is a symptom of gluten ingestion for celiac however it was not easy to find. After 20 years of having celiac disease it was new to me (my previous symptoms of gluten ingestion were a headache & digestive issues, so I was not expecting the hypoglycemia to be related to gluten). Thought this was worth passing on.

Good to know.  

Even though I have osteoporosis as a result of having undiagnosed celiac disease, I do not take calcium supplements.  Recent research finds that it can cause heart and kidney issues.  

My mantra?  Get your calcium from food!

Had hypoglycaemia for many years....  Diagnosed celiac disease (biopsy) last March.  gluten-free diet has almost completely cleared up my hypoglycaemia!  Such a joy!  Now I enjoy fruit juices etc.

Thanks for doing the research on this. You confirmed what I suspected. I do get hypoglycemic following cc events. I work hard to avoid cc events. Hypoglycemia appears to be one of my many celiac symptoms.

Thanks for the info. I feel a little less odd knowing I'm not alone. ?

That is the beauty of this website. It was so helpful to me when I first found I was celiac. Your doctor just can’t give you all of the details; there are so many nuances and changing dynamics. It is good to know you’re not alone!?‍?‍?‍?

my daughter just got dx'd with celiac, and she's been hypoglycemic for years.  once her guts start absorbing vitamins and minerals, i expect this will also clear up.  it's amazing, isn't it?

doctors can't give you all the details, because most of them don't know them ;)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
