Crazy Fatigue

Hi all,

I have my endoscopy on Wednesday morning (been waiting MONTHS). I’m excited to finally be off my gluten challenge. My symptoms were awful at first, but my body seemed to adapt a bit, however I’m still dealing with brain fog, joint pain, inflammation, migraines, neuropathy, etc.. the last few weeks my fatigue has been debilitating (especially yesterday and today). I have another autoimmune disease (Sjogren’s) for which I had been taking Methotrexate which I discontinued due to having the flu and Covid but also due to fatigue. I’m starting to wonder now if these episodes of fatigue weren’t the MTX, but actually caused by gluten. 
today I didn’t get out of bed until 11 but I could have kept on sleeping… I have super vivid dreams and in a very deep sleep. Yesterday, I slept in late (9:30) but then watched a movie with my kiddo where I fell asleep for 90% of it.
Did anyone else experience anything similar pre diagnosis? Im so sick of being a zombie…

If you have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease eating gluten can definitely cause fatigue. 

How did the biopsy go? You posted this on July 4th, which is a holiday in the USA, so it looks like this slipped through the cracks.

Hi Scott,

You're so kind to follow up! My biopsy was negative which was a relief. I was diagnosed with a very small hernia (which I honestly think is a result of my pregnancy), and eosinophilic esophagitis. My GI feels it’s NCGS and I agree. Even 48h off of gluten changed my body and mood. I stopped eating gluten on 7/6 and my digestion just snapped into place. Acne has calmed down. No heartburn. Less gas. Bloat is going down, also fluid retention. Even my face looks less swollen.

love my celiac pals but I’m happy I can deal with some cross contamination. 
I continue to work on being diligent about my diet anyways as I have another autoimmune disease and want to heal my gut.

lots of love to this forum!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
