Is This Fatigue Related To Having Been Glutened?

It has been over a week (7-10) since I stupidly had gluten, but not just a tiny bit. So I knew that it would be bad...

I understand all the digestive consequences (when will that stop?) but the fatigue? Is it related? I am getting more sleep right now, b/c I have to, and even taking short naps, which is unlike me. I CAN'T keep my eyes open and can't do the normal amount of excercise I normally do. I got sooo much sleep last night and 4 hours later I can't stay awake. It doesn't feel like normal tired (which I usually am b/c I normally don't sleep enough). I feel like it totally takes over and I can't fight it....

Help! Is this normal? Anything I can do?

Thanks,

Liatt

Fatigue is the most common symptom. I know how you feel!! I was always tired at one point...I think thats all I did.

My reactions last a good 2 weeks but it varies from person to person.

Yes, fatigue is a very common and normal symptom. Fatigue and lack of energy are two of the many symptoms that I get. My reactions also last for about 2 weeks, the fatigue usually stays longer though <_<

Liatt-

How long have you been gluten-free? Is there any chance you could be eating contaminated food?

Jen--

I have been gluten-free for about 3 months, maybe more. I stopped eating wheat in Dec and slowly started avoiding gluten, since the wheat free diet didn't help. Around 3 months ago i stopped eating gluten. Every once in a while I find something that I didn't think to look at, like shampoo, but that happens very rarely at this point.

At those times I reacted, but it wasn't so severe b/c the amount was so small. A week and a half ago I made a huge, stupid mistake and had a lot of gluten (a lot considering I usually have none--and it was pasta :angry: ), so this time it's pretty bad. It almost feels worse then the chronic symptoms I had before going gluten-free. On second thought... :rolleyes:

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
