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.

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
