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.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
