Weakness

[rbnav]

Hi Everyone,

I have been diagnosed Celiac disease recently. I have been on Gluten free diet for a week now. When i used to ate wheat, I never felt this much weakness. But now going Gluten free make me feel very weak. I feel tiredness all the day. I reside in India, so have no much choice than to depend upon rice and maize. twice a day i take rice and once maize chapati. can anyone plz help how to overcome the weakness.

I don't know much about Indian food but you need to eat more than twice a day. You need to eat more than just rice and corn. You need protein & fruit or vegetables. Can you eat meat, fish, dairy, beans, eggs?

You could be in a bit of a withdrawl, some people seem to get that... I did. I felt very poorly, tired and cranky for the first two weeks. That could be contributing to your weakness.

It could be lack of calories too. Perhaps a small handful of seeds or nuts about 3 hours after your last meal to help tide you over.

Good luck.
