<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My sister and I have both been diagnosed with celiac disease for more than 5 years, and try to be extremely compliant on the diet. However, we both go through periods of exhaustion, when we need afternoon naps, even after a good night's sleep. I usually attribute my exhaustion to anemia and suspect a diet problem, but don't know if that is valid, as my annual checkups don't show anemia. Do other people continue to have bouts of extreme exhaustion? Is that a continuing symptom of celiac disease even when diet compliant? nicki humphries university of maryland medical system baltimore, md. FAX 410-328-8664
