Feeling Very Tired In The Evening

I am not diagnosed yet as gluten intolerant, but I see a GI specialist Monday and expect to be. I went gluten free 10 days ago and by the time 6:00 PM rolls around I am really tired. I was that way prior to going gluten free, but my energy level during the day now is much better.

Might my body just be trying to recover after what was probably years of problems and stress?

Your body can actually very strangely to going gluten-free. I actually slept a ton more when I first removed gluten. I am pretty certain that consuming it sets your body on high alert and it may at times seem like you have more energy - but in the long run, I think it just wears out your body quicker.

It's not uncommon to be more tried when first going gluten-free. The fact that you said you feel as thought you have more energy during the day is a good sign though.

I've been gluten-free for tweve days now and seven days ago I started sleeping through the night for the first time in about twenty years. In addition to that I have to go for a short nap immediately after work to give me the energy to cook dinner. After dinner I then sleep for between 45 minutes and two hours. I'm hoping that my energy levels pick up.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
