I had an endoscopy and I have Celiac sprue. I have eaten very healthy as a vegetarian since 1968 and as a vegan for many years and always my tests have shown I was doing great! Because of my lifestyle I made it a point to become very educated on nutrition. Since finding out about the Celiac, I have been gluten free for 3 months now. I have had EVERYTHING tested and it all came out ok. But I can barely take care of myself I am so tired. I have been tired before but never like this. This is different. I am at the point where I am going to have to see about getting someone to come in to help to clean my home. Plus my food bill is not something I can keep up with on a fixed income. I am still taking Imodium just to get through the day or I can't leave the bathroom. My stomach is a mess and I am getting very concerned. I saw a nutritionist and I am taking all the supplements they said to but it doesn't seem to be doing anything yet. I can't get a good sleep in even with medication. I have nightmares and wake up exhausted. Does anyone have any information that might help or even maybe have felt this way? I felt better when I was on gluten. My stomach is flatter,my breathing a bit better, joints not quite as sore. But the trade off, not good. My stomach is acting way worse. I have been meticulous about eating gluten free or even buying products that could have even been manufactured in a plant where there could have been cross-contamination. I don't know what else to do. My doctor is certain it is celiac. All replies are appreciated because I have a life that i would like to get back to!
