Digesting Wheat Products And Extreme Tiredness


Ms. Skinny Chic

Recommended Posts

Ms. Skinny Chic Explorer

Recently, someone treated me to a pizza and I ate 2 pieces of it pizza.

I have celiac disease and I made a conscious decision to eat some pizza... I haven't had any in ages.

After, ingesting the wheat contaminated product... I felt extremely tired and sick.

I mean.. I felt really tired instantly.. I couldn't even keep my eyes open...

My heart even seemed to skip a beat or something strange..

The next day, my abdomen was quiet painful.

Have any of you experienced anything like this?????

That seems like a pretty normal response. Almost the exact same thing happens to me.

Yes, I get extremely lethargic when I get into gluten.

the responses get worse for most people the longer they are on the diet. most people get to the point that cross contamination makes them sick so by eating something that is full of gluten that seems like it is normal

Yes, I find myself extremely lethargic after ingesting gluten.

I have noticed that gluten affects me worse now than before...

I just never expected to feel comatose from ingesting wheat products.

this is how i felt before i was diagnosed. i always thought it was sugar or carb overload, but it all makes sense now. pancakes, bagels and cake used to nearly send me into a como. but gluten free ones don't!

(ps don't eat pizza, silly!! make gluten free pizza!)

hehehe.. I know...

I am going to make a gluten free pizza this weekend..

The gluten free foods...don't taste the same as normal ones..

I have just decided.. I am going to have to stick to this diet for better or worse.

All the suffering wasn't worth it in the end...

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.

      I have posted a lot on here and find that the support , advice and information here is much more helpful than anything else.. ever. I am really tired of the back and forth advice in the medical community and I am beyond frustrated and over all of it currently. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I have positive TTG IGA antibodies - and I have had these every time I have been tested. The first time they were positive I was told I did not have celiac and couldn't have celiac but I was gluten intolerant and to go gluten free. I did this for about 3-4 months, dedicated I might add, and I did feel better. However, my blood glucose went up drastically and since I was already pre-diabetic...

      No, I have not been checked for any other deficiencies or issues. No one will check these things since my EGD looked normal and there was no damage. I recently saw my gastro doc and it is just frustrating. I have diabetes, which is basically uncontrolled, and I keep being told, stop eating gluten free, because the gluten free diet is contributing to my diabetes worsening. Then I am told oh just eat gluten free and you can go on insulin, which I don't feel like is a good answer either. So I end up eating gluten because they tell me it's okay or that I should bc of my diabetes. I am so sick today - physically mentally emotionally - just tired of this roller coaster ride.  I am open  for any realistic...
