Bloated, Gassy, Nauseous, Hypoglycemic- Don't Eat?

Hey all I've been struggling with this for a long time and have been living without gluten, dairy, peanuts, most grains and watching for cc to the best of my ability. Now I'll try going without soy again and definitely cut out fructose/honey (very bad shooting pains which never happened before) until I can be absolutely sure they aren't causing harm.

But there are still phases where things seem to build up in my stomach and just keeps continuing rather than going away like it should. For the last few weeks I've been feeling pretty lousy, tired, the stomach symptoms listed above and with very frequent sweaty hot flashes (male). I'm not diagnosed diabetic but still felt like I needed to keep my blood sugar and weight up by having lots of low fiber sugary snacks like the usual gluten free snack bars (KIND, Lara Bars, Tropical Organics, Clandestino) and started to add sticky rice to my diet. But they didn't seem to help much and one of my questions is if snacks outside of full balanced meals really help stabilize energy. It's not really clear if they actually create the sugar roller coaster since they will be sugars combined with fat & protein like doctor's suggest but I definitely think they do. Of course it seems kinda obvious but I'm trying to stay as detached & rational like a scientist as possible because I still haven't gotten my stomach to "normal" in years.

I've noticed going through the crash before sometimes actually really helps but I've been trying to cut at the root of the problem all together. Yesterday I had lunch then went out to mess around town before work & ended up fooling around too much and went to work without getting another lunch/early dinner in (DAMMIT!!). Of course I crashed and in general felt lousy at times. Then I came home so tired that I just went straight to bed. This morning I actually felt much much better and actually ate breakfast because of hunger rather than feeling dizzy/weak which seems like my new hunger indicator. My stomach was far less painful & bloated and all the lumps seemed to move lower in my intestines & also feel less feverish.

Not that I plan doing that again very often if at all but I just wonder if trying to avoid the crash over & over is the worst choice. For awhile I was eating more fibrous carbs like baby potatoes (seem to go down easier) and quinoa but that ended up causing too much pain & even drowsiness too. My normal meals have a decent amount of fat protein & veggies just not enough starch anymore. It's really hard to win.

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same billion that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
