I am one month today gluten-free...but after I eat I am exhausted....I am taking a multi vit that is gluten-free and and extra vit D and calcium tablet that is also gluten-free....anyway...my question is since my vit levels were low, how long before I feel like they are working; or am I always going to be tired after eating....I am sitting here at work ready to fall asleep...and I don't think that will work....lol

Thanks in advance for your responses. :D

What are you eating?

Well for lunch today I had a chicken breast and about 1/2 cup plain rice (with a tiny bit of butter). But it happens after everything I eat...and only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes...then it goes away...it could be that I am not used to eating more than once a day and since I have started being gluten-free I now eat all 3 meals with tiny snacks in between...I don't know...lol I am trying to play doctor :)

Thanks

This may be silly question since obviously you are under a doctors care but have you had a test for glucose intolerance or diabetes? My husband and my sister, both diabetics, fall asleep after eating all their meals, maybe only 15 or 20 minutes. I knew my husband always did this (which was hard before he retired!) but recently my sister visited from out of town and I would look up and they were both asleep after each of our meals.

You are correct in thinking I am under a doctors care...and I have been tested for diabetes...my sugar levels are great, along with blood pressure, etc. The only things that are icky in blood tests are...obviously celiac disease showing up...lol and raised liver enzymes, cholestoral (UGH), and low vit levels (vit D/calcium/b12) for which I am taking gluten free vit for. So not sure what is going on....maybe too many carbs (rice?)...I do not have a clue. :) Thank you for trying though.

It may take awhile since your body is finally absorbing the nutrients it needs. Is there anything that perks you up? Fruit, an energy bar (I like Think Thin protein bars). Maybe that would help?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      suggest gluten free food

      By olivia11 · Posted

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
