Blood Sugar Problems

So I am in my early twenties and all of a sudden I have severe periodontal gum disease over the matter of less than a year. It became so bad that I had to have surgery... multiple bones grafts, etc. I'm so young and I have the gums of a 70 year old... makes no sense.

Over a period of a few months I was having problems digesting fats... fats would be in my stool. It is like I didn't digest them at all. It went away. I also would wake up in the middle of the night and vomit. That only happens every once in a while.

I've always been hypoglycemic, but lately it seems I can't control my blood sugar at all. I thought I might have type 1 diabetes but my resting blood sugar test was fine. So I'm not diabetic; I'm very skinny and eat all the time. My white blood cell count was down however.

Does this sound like celiac disease? I think I'm going to go in and get tested for it. I eat A LOT of wheat not to mention love wheat beer.

But I'm more concerned with... does celiac disease ever mess with people's blood sugar? I mean if they already have problems with their blood sugar can it make it worse???

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving...

Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.
