I have been on the GF diet since January 1999 after being sick (anemia,
diarrhea, etc.) for three years. Blood tests and a biopsy confirmed that I
was Celiac.
I felt great until the last three weeks and I cannot figure it out.
Symptoms are low energy and general nausea - I referred to it as having my
"head in a cloud". My face even feels hot. But NO diarrhea.
I went into the clinic today to give blood for testing (B12, ferritin, etc.)
and talked to my doctor briefly and he asked me if I had been traveling. I
was traveling overseas and in the US for five weeks (late April through
early June). He immediately suspected that I had been exposed to gluten
during my travels. While traveling, I got one case of severe diarrhea but
that was it. Generally speaking, I felt fine during my travels.
Have any of you other Celiacs ever experienced similar recurrences? I was
so confident about my good health and assumed that everything was going to
be just fine. It sure is disheartening to feel bad again.
