Does This Happen To Anyone Else?

I made non-gluten free brownies yesterday for a friend and ended up eating a few(yes, i know i will be paying for this). After this, i literally felt like i was in a coma. I've been so tired since then. Today i took a three-hour nap and felt completely unrefreshed afterwards. I couldn't even get myself to go to the gym because i feel so exhausted. Does anyone else feel robbed of all energy after they've been glutened?

p.s. when I am strictly following the gluten-free diet i really don't have much sleep problems/feelings of exhaustion.

Definetly an effect from glutening yourself!!!

I felt like that ALL the time when I was eating gluten!

Yep, definitely one of the most common celiac disease symptoms! I hope you will remember what you feel like when purposely glutening yourself, and won't do it again.

I would suggest just baking gluten free brownies next time. Breathing in the gluten from the flour or brownie mix flying is like eating it. I did make my husband a pecan pie, but used a ready made crust and wore gloves to put it in the pan. That is as far as I will go with gluten baking. I will say that my husband is slowly coming around and does try some of the things that I bake now. He will eat my gluten free cheese biscuits, gravy, blueberry muffins, peach cobbler, apple crisp, rice chex krispie treats, crustless cheesecake. I do hope that you feel better soon. I did put myself into misery making a boxed no bake cheesecake, so don't beat yourself up too bad. Chalk it up to experience.

Yes Yes Yes

Definitely, fatigue is apparently one of the most common symptoms of celiac disease.

I had to go back onto gluten for a month to get the endoscopy and I barely got out of bed for those four weeks.

One of my biggest incentives to not eat gluten is that feeling I had and wanting to avoid it at all costs.

I hope you feel better soon :)

It is eating it! Everything we breath in over a certain size is filtered out before it gets to the lungs and directed to the stomach.

BIG. The big particles are between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (from about 25 to 100 times thinner than a human hair). These particles are called PM10 (we say "P M ten", which stands for Particulate Matter up to 10 micrometers in size). These particles cause less severe health effects.

SMALL. The small particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers (100 times thinner than a human hair). These particles are called PM2.5 (we say "P M two point five", as in Particulate Matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size).

Well, not for us. PM10 means its redirected to the stomach ... (There is a name for the process i can dig up if you like)... essentially we have tiny hairlike things inour respitory tract and anything larger than very very tiny is moved by these into the back of the nasal passage ... we then get a need to swallow and its put into the stomach.

Wish I could eat three non-gluten brownies. If I did, I'd be in the ER :blink:

Anyway, that is a major sign for me when I get glutened. I cannot sleep at all.

Take care---and make sure you don't gluten yourself anymore :( I know its hard but you're harming yourself for an emotional need. I always try to find something super good at the store and hide it for when I get a strong craving for gluten.

Yes, that symptom is what had them checking my thyroid for years. ( I have a rant that goes with that comment,but I'll stick to the subject for now, lol).

Seriously, you should not be tempting yourself like that, and now you have glutened your pans as well! What were you thinking?

Next time you want to make something for a friend, think fresh fruit salad with Grand Marnier, gluten-free chocolate fondue with gluten-free things to dunk in it (strawberries, bananas, etc) or something like that instead! You can still enjoy things, just don't sacrifice your health for it... it is really,really not worth it.

Any time I have gluten, I immediately feel sleepy as if I just ate a large Thanksgiving dinner! The more gluten I eat, the worse the feeling is. I used to wonder why I would catch myself falling asleep ALL the time, and since self-diagnosis, I know why.

I just have to say I'm stunned that anyone with celiac would purposely eat gluten. It's not meant as a criticism because it's completely your business, but I can't help but be surprised. But I know it's tough - I can't seem to give up gluten-free cookies, eventhough I probably should.

I am new to this and trying to find anwswers myself, but I currently still have gluten in my diet and lterally am exhausted all of the time. I will take a 2 hour nap and still be miserable afterwards.. I also have a hard time falling asleep at night, normally about an hour. But during the day i can pass out at anytime.. sometimes I have to struggle to keep my eyes open.

Me too I get sleepy and depressed aftere ating gluten so I try to avoid it. But for decades I was medicated against manic depressive disorder. It is so good that this diet exists, otherwise I wd have to accept that I am very sick. This diet is not a sickness it is a way to recovery. Big difference. :rolleyes:

Next time try Trader Joe's gluten free brownie mix...

Easy to make and they are the best brownies we ever had, ever! Your guests won't even have to know they're gluten free... unless you tell 'em... then, whether they can eat gluten or not, I betcha they'll run out to Trader Joe's and buy a package for themselves.

I agree, they're delicious!

Oh my! Eating gluten on purpose is crazy! I mean that nicely. It is very hard to give up the things you used to love. I just hate the way I feel after an accidental glutening. A very good gluten-free brownie mix is "Pamela's" I have served it to gluten friends and they didn't notice. That is always the true test.

Hope you feel better soon. Remember how awful you feel, that is how I got over wanting gluten treats.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
