Still having IBS Issues & staying gluten-free. Weird symptom.

[zenith12]

How come some nights,  always seems to be at 1 :30am after  I go to bed I get a gluteny kinda sensation coming on. Like low blood sugarish and shakey feeling like my body wants to detox, like my intestines are about to get active. It feels similar to an actual glutening but not as bad. Sometimes i may have the symptom without feeling low blood sugarish. I have pituitary issues and have constant low blood sugar problems. I am just wondering am I eating gluten mimicking foods?  (rice, corn) etc. Or is my IBS just instigated unrelated to my celiac? When ever that feeling comes on I don't sleep well. This morning i went to the bathroom 3 times or 4. I am good now though. And I did have low blood sugar probems this morning. I have been eating well and sometimes I can get low blood sugar problems not long after i eat.

If i am eating gluten mimicking foods maybe that is making my pituitary issue worse. 

I basically eat one ingredient foods except for some small gluten-free cookies, half brownie or 1/4, and the EVOL meal, and some Amys meals.  But there are some gluten mimickers in there: rice, corn, sorghum flours.

  So it is NOT uncommom to still have  IBS and it totally NOT be related to  celiac?  I am in the process of going to docs.  I just scheduled an appmt  with a food alergy doc. And then i will need to schedule one for a gastro doc and maybe primary care doc too, because i do want to see if I have any colon or stomache problems.  Maybe my PIT issue can just be unpredicatable. I felt that weird sensation in my head when i was in bed.  I think my body naturally detoxes when it wants to. Thanks

Yes, you can have other issues, like IBS, in conjunction to celiac disease.   So, if your symptoms are not resolving on a gluten free diet, then you should see a medical doctor.  Things like cancer, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, SIBO, etc. should be ruled out.  

I could have sworn my niece had celiac disease based on her symptoms, but she does not (it could develop later in life).   She was diagnosed with Crohn’s via a pill camera (she did have both an endoscopy and colonoscopy).  Her damage was out of reach of both those scopes.  Luckily, they found the damage and was able to treat her with meds before having a chunk of her small intestine removed.  

Low blood sugar problems?  How do you know?  Do you check your blood sugar with meter?  Cause just feeling yucky does not necessarily mean low blood sugar.  You can purchase a cheap meter at Walmart and test it yourself.

Thanks you so much. I did SMELL strong pizza last night when i went to my moms. Could that have done it? well i am NOT going over there anymore and smell pizza!!   Yes just like u said I will go to gastro doc to rule out those things.  I don't think I have SIBO. I never bloat just as long as i don't eat gluten or that General TSO chicken.  I have a faulty putuitary gland, as you know controls your whole body. I have to eat 3 times per day sometimes more because my body thinks it is having low blood sugar issues. If I don't eat i will get really dizzy , and the craps etc etc and have confusion just like diabetics with  LOW blood sugar do. It is called adrenal fatigue. MINE is not adrenal though, mine is called  " HPA axis".   I had a tumor on the gland !!!!!!

It was removed. But I still have problems.   There are 75 symptoms of pit problems aka  adrenal fatigue:   having low blood sugar problems but the  #s don't show it,    sensitive to sun,  caffiene, alchohol,  celiac problems,  digestive problems.   lol    

 

Look up  Dr Lam. He is an expert.    Yes i do have a meter and sometimes i do check it because sometimes i want to know if its in the 80s  or 107. It never goes above 117. I am sorry about your niece.  Cancer is scary that is what I a am always afraid of. But I will go to gastro soon. 

I am going to start keeping a log of my WEIRD feelings that always start at 1 :30am. Ok stay healthy.

BTW the mainstream  medical community is taught to not acknowlege adrenal fatigue.  I went to a natural doc and that is when she told me i was celiac.

My antibodies test proves it and so does my symptoms. Thanks    Now i just gotta make sure i dont have cancer. lol

This is my health problem in CONJUNCTION with celiac. I also have chemical sensitivites and smell sensitivities, and constant dizziness.
