Hi All:
 
In relation to Larry Toole's e-mail re: low bld sugar and others re:
inability to gain sufficient weight--I wonder if anyone has had experience
with chronic fatigue without a typical gluten rxn and while being gf for
many years.
 
Though my  recent biopsy showed a healthy lining, I am still chronically
fatigued.  I have been gf for 10 yrs (confirmed celiac 31 of my 32 yrs) and
dont avoid restaurant contamination and subtleties like tomato
paste..however my condition is not sensitive to minute amounts so as to
have a typical rxn.  My only "gut problem" is chronic gastritis (without
infection per stomach & duod biopsies).  Has anyone had good biopsies and
noted an ongoing problem with fatigue/ chronic food absorption problems/
other disease states... or know of info, statistical or treatment related?
 
My typical day consists of eating tons of protein-- perhaps not enough fat,
but also regular, specific carb consumption.. at intervals of a few
hours(--You would think I am pregnant!)  I am always on the verge of fading
out and becoming slowly responsive to my environment and never feel 100%
 
My blood-vitamin levels, hormones appear o.k. and my blood sugar test dipped
drastically upon the 5th hour of fast and rebounded in 6th.  However, my
body was so unsteady by then, that I feared my judgment to drive
home--basically a nervous mess. I've tried singling most of the major foods
that I eat for a few weeks at a time without any improvement as well.
 
Thanks for any thoughts or related experiences!
