Gluten & Fatigue

For those of you who have experienced fatigue, how long did it take to reacquire your energy? Did anyone experience chronic fatigue disorder masked as/as a result of a gluten allergy or celiac disease? If so, how are you coping?

I appreciate your responses, as I am having a hell of a time with fatigue currently.

I was always tired before going gluten free but was never diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. It's not been about 4 months since going gluten free and after about 2 months did I really feel a difference although I noticed a slight improvement the week I went gluten free.

I also just went to an allergist and found out I'm allergic to milk, eggs, some meats and some fruit. So eating all those foods after going gluten free were also making me feel very tired, so hopefully I will feel even more like a normal person after finding that out.

It sucks to be tired all the time but it will get better!

I started taking B12 to help with my fatigue although I've never been tested for deficiencies. It really helps me.

My fatigue improved a lot when I went gluten-free. But I really zapped it with B12. Now if I forget for a couple of days, it gets me again.

How much B12 is good to take?

My pill bottle says take up to 3 pills daily. I take all 3 and it seems to be the right dose for me. I get the kind that dissolves under your tongue. The brand is Nature Made (I think) and they say gluten free on the bottle.

Amyleigh--

Are yours 1000 mcg sublinguals, or are they a smaller amount? I've been taking just one of these a day since it seems like such a large amount -- but if it's okay to take more than that, I certainly will.

B vitamins are water-soluble, so, whatever is above what you need, your body will get rid of through urine. You can't OD on B12.

I was taking 3 of the 1000 mcg's a day for awhile. I also found vitamin D to be incredibly helpful for my fatigue. You have to be a bit more cautious of vitamin D. There is a great debate about whether you can OD on it, although current medical opinion is that you can. It requires a large amount (more than most would supplement), but a risk nonetheless. I would recommend having your level checked before you start taking a supplement. Although most, if not all, multivitamins have around 1000 iu of D... ;)

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
