Fainting, blackouts and anxiety

Fainting, blackouts and anxiety. A psychiatrist explained to me that anxiety can make your body go into fight or fight mode. Your pancreas pumps glucose into your bloodstream, but if you do not use it to fly or fight, it leads to non-diabetic lów bloodsugar, which could let you faint (hypoglycemia). Balanced diet (enough fibre and protein), regular meals and sparce on sugar helps me.

Yes, this is typically referred to as a panic attack, and these can be fairly common on undiagnosed celiacs who still eat gluten. I had this symptom for years before being diagnosed.

I have long passed panic attacks and do not eat gluten. I was trying to pass some helpful info on some other posts. Chronic high stress also affects your blood sugar levels and could make you faint. I never did, because I took preventing measures by having a healthy glucose snack handy.

      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.
