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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
