Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, when I was feeling generally
unwell I would eat a bagel or something similar for energy and to settle
my stomach.  Of course I had no idea I was poisoning myself.  But I started
getting these strange "attacks."  I would get quite light headed,
disoriented.  I could barely stand.  I would also get quite warm.  But I
would also shake so badly that I could barely take a drink of water.

Needless to say these "attacks" scared the living daylights out of me.
They are what finally sent me to a doctor.  When my doctor heard the
symptoms he tried to send me to a neurologist.  Luckily my doctor wanted
to check out other things first and after about a year, we found celiac
disease.  I haven't had this type of attack since.  Even when I accidentally
injest gluten.  I think it was the high concentration of the gluten in
my body at that time.  But these symptoms do sound similar to your.  Maybe
they're fairly common.
