Back To Work And Exhausted

It's six months gluten free and since we have our own business, I've been able to work from home. However, summer is our busy season and no more of that. But three days in the shop have wiped me out. Totally exhausted. Extremely. Just curious to know if this has happened to others. I've been feeling better, but to feel this tired has me very surprised. I have even noticed increased tingling numbness in legs/feet. I've only eaten my own food and no GI issues, so I don't think it's CC. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for your input.

For me, being sick with vitamin deficiencies has me out of shape. Now that I'm feeling better, I getting more exercise. I think you just have to build up your stamina if everything (vitamins & thyroid, etc) are good. You have to build up for the physical and mental stress of a job. Even if it's just sitting all day in one position or standing or up and down.

What's amazing to me is that before I stopped eating gluten, I thought I was fine. Sure, I had the fatigue, the rash and a host of other symptoms - but it was my normal. Now I'm off gluten and everything becomes more noticeable. Everything has new meaning. Each ache, pain, feeling of nausea, headache, etc. You learn to pay so much more attention to everything and have a new understanding of your body and it's relationship to food.

I think also that my expectations are that I should be feeling better faster. Wouldn't it be nice to document people's stories/experiences of healing the way we track and document symptoms of the illness?

That is so true. I thought it was normal to have stomach ache after meals, I thought that was how you knew you'd filled up. Now I think what did I eat, should I experiment removing it? Once you start to feel great, you want to feel great all the time.

I have to be careful not to over analyze everything now. You know... gas! Oh no! What is wrong! Did I get the only gluten ever put in a diet coke? The hamburger I put in the chili is contaminated! A bread crumb from my kids lunch he ate at McDonalds must have gotten in my crockpot! Maybe its just the bubbles in the diet coke and the beans in the chili. duh!

It's a while ago now, but I still remember that when I was 21 and healthy and first started working full-time, I came home every night and did nothing but sleep. Even without coeliac disease, going back to work after a break is exhausting; working in a shop and dealing with people all day is also very tiring and you've not been used to it for a while. Take it easy, look after yourself and prioritise getting some R&R each day. Hope you're feeling better soon.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
