I Think I Have Celiac.....

My doc tested me 2 weeks ago for Chrone's Disease to rule it out but he feels I have Celiac. since my daughter found out she has it 3 yrs. ago. I have done alot of reading on this and even went gluten/wheat free for a week to see if I noticed a difference. I did!!! I wasnt starving an hour after I ate and my abdomin pain seem to lessen and I didnt look like a mini balloon. BUT.... I noticed I was very tired all the time!!! Is this a reaction to the diet? I have ordered a "home Celiac test" that I have found online, because I am impatient and cant wait for my doc appt. next week. I have noticed a big difference going back to the regular eating. Does anyone else have problems being tired on the Celiac diet? Is there something to help?

fyi - i'd be wary of a "home celiac test". I can't imagine any way that would actually work -- unless it something you're sending to a lab afterwards...

In your new gluten-free diet were you making sure you were eating a well balanced diet too? Enough protein? Fatigue and flu-like exhaustion are common symptoms of autoimmune diseases, although I don't know if/why going gluten-free would cause those symptoms to peak.

Where online did you find a "home celiac kit" and what on earth is it? :blink:

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
