I've been on the test gf diet since September 19, and have recently noticed a
pattern.  I have found that before meals (mostly dinner), I feel so tired
that I feel like skipping dinner and going to bed.  I'm so fatigued, it's
hard to even get the energy to eat.  I've noticed that when I do go ahead and
drag myself to the table to eat, I don't feel as tired after the meal!   And
it's not as if I'm skipping meals so that I'm excessively hungry by the end
of the day.  I've now switched to eating more healthy snacks like fresh
fruit, rather than the junk food I'd eat before this diet.
 
My first thought was that perhaps my blood sugar was off.  Especially since
my Mom developed diabetes later in life.  However, I've had my blood sugar
checked on numerous occasions, and it's always been fine - never even
borderline lows or highs.  I'm seeing my primary care physician at the end of
this week, and then my GI doc later next week.  Should I have my blood sugar
checked again?  Would my being on the gf diet for nearly 2 months affect my
blood sugar levels?  Has anyone else experienced this type of symptom after
being on the gf diet?
 
Thanks in advance,
