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.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
