Hypoglycemia A Symptom Of Celiac?

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if hypoglycemia can be a symptom of celiac? I have severe reactive hypoglycemia for 2 years now. My Dr did tests for adrenal hormones and found my cortisol is lower than it should be which make sense. She wants me to take 1 Isocort pellet in morning.

I guess my question is...will the hypo get better with the gluten-free diet? I have been on it strictly for 3 weeks now and not many symptoms are better yet, it usually takes longer for me to show signs of any improvement with any symptoms, but I haven't ever been on it long enough for the hypo to show improvement.

Thanks, t.

Yes. I had it--and it caused all kinds of awful symptoms in me. But, not anymore! :)

I am hypoglycemic as well-I get shaky and very irritable without small frequent meals. I am off gluten for only about a week now-I am curious to see if there are changes!

Thanks for the replies! This is hopeful! I'd love it if we could keep posting our improvements off gluten with hypoglycemia here.

I am not diagnosed celiac. I am gluten sensitive/intolerant.

This wasn't a symptom I had a name for at the time (I was very medical illiterate six months ago). But I was getting pretty bad before going gluten free. To be honest I couldn't even tell you when it started or finally resolved because I was a bit of a mental mess. I can tell you that nowdays I don't ever get it. That feeling like the liquid or nerves in your brain are dripping down into your neck somewhere is gone.

Even when I get starving hungry (I'm not nearly organised enough when it comes to shopping/cooking!!) or overindulge.

Please stick with your gluten-free diet, keep it as simple and fresh as you can and if you have any questions there are great people on here to help.

You could use the forum search for hypoglycemia and see the other threads. I am sure there are plenty of discussions about hypoglycemia. It's a common symptoms that often resolves on a gluten-free diet.

Cheers!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
