My symptoms overall continue to improve gluten-free. However, after eating I feel more tired than before eating and i get a headache and my eyes and head feel heavy and my body feels tired and achey. Does anyone else experience this? WHy do i feel like this?

I'm listening too...I'm just a little slow to respond. :P

I get all those symptoms you described but they're not related to gluten.

I think my symptoms are from having a bacteria overgrowth and candida overgrowth which I didnt get diagnosed with until a few weeks ago. My symptoms are worse after eating. Some days it doesnt matter what I eat...I feel sick. Other days are better. I'm on a restricted diet.

Maybe you have other food intolerances??

Hi, I feel the same way when I have anything sweet or potatoes. I think it is a blood sugar rise. I also get really hot--lasts for about 15-20 minutes. Do you get that? Anyone out there get that or am I just plain weird?

Does this happen when you have dinner or does it happen after any meal

Because if it happens after a larger meal where you mix a flesh food with a carbohydrate it takes a long time for you body to break something like that down. (ie: steak and potatoes; rice and chicken) It is harder for the body to break this combination of food down becasue both of those foods require a different enzyme then the other in order to break down. Actually if you do end up eating this combination of foods, the food usually ends up spoiling in your stomach and that is what makes people sick

A combination of food like this takes about 6-8 hrs. to empty from the stomach. As apposed to eating chicken and vegtables which does not take as long to break down and it is alot easier for your body to break donw not making you as tired....takes about 2-4 hrs.

I hope that this has helped, if you would like me to expand a little bit more just let me know :D

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
