Hey everyone, I am a 22 year old male. I love playing hockey and rugby and compete in bodybuilding, however over the last few months I haven't had the energy or the drive to get myself to the gym after work. I have been eating alot more grains the last six months as well. I could very easily sleep all day long if I had the option, but have trouble sleeping at night. For the past six months I have been very run down and not feeling like myself. Some of my symptoms include:

Abdominal crAmping and bloating (I have been told I look like I'm pregnant, especially after eating foods like pizza and other gluten rich foods)

Occasional diarrhea, stool usually isn't regular and sometimes floats

IBS especially spicy foods

Fatigue

Insomnia

Anxiety

Chest discomfort

Terrible alcohol hangovers (last 2-3 days)

Alcohol intolerance (feel drunk after 2-3 drinks)

Red face a lot of the time

Food hangovers

My foot feels very warm at random times for no apparent reason

Hypoglycemia

The last week or so I have gone gluten free. I even went drinking and only drank potato vodka (usually drink wheat vodka) and my hangover wasn't nearly as bad as usual. Within two days my anxiety during the day was much better. I was still very fatigued but less than normal.Then I glutened myself and I had a kind of dry burning sensation in my eyes, I had a hangover the following day without alcohol consumption, anxiety was back, more fatigue than the last few days.

My grandmother was recently diagnosed so I'm going to get tested anyway.

I have an order for a blood test, with liver enzymes, iga, celiac screening etc but can't go till the weekend due to work. Either way I'm going to follow up with a biopsy I think even if the blood work is negative. Just sucks that I have to keep eating this way until tests are done :(

Just kind of curious if you guys have the same kind of symptoms, especially the food hangovers?

Yes, I get a "hangover" when I'm glutened. I wake up and I'm so foggy and fatigued I don't want to get out of bed.

I find it amusing that you consider feeling drunk after 2-3 drinks to be "intolerance." I consider feeling drunk after 2-3 drinks totally normal. :lol:

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
