Q: Celiac & Blood Sugar
asked by: 2mmina on August 8th, 2008

Dear all , I am a newly diagnosed Celiac (3 months ago) and i have been following a gluten free diet since day 1. I am currently having a problem in feeling hungry, trembling, and weakness just one hour or max. two hours after a meal. I feel i need to eat something sweet and if i dont, it is the worst feeling ever, fatigue, severe hunger, trembling and so on. I tested my Blood Sugar and my insulin (as the dr. recommended) and they turned out to be normal and within range. What I feel is that after eating a meal, the sugars are digested quickly and the need to take more sugar reoccurs. I am thinking of taking the Glucose Tolerance Test (3 hours test) just to make sure that my sugar levels are normal.
Does anyone know if Celiac and Blood sugar are related in any means? Has anyone faced the same situation? It is ruining my daily life and causing me depression in some times.
Can anyone please help me! I am desperately in need for help! Drs in my country are guessing whats wrong with me and i kind of lost trust in them!

Thank you in advance

Yes, celiac and blood sugar can be related. Good for you for paying attention to your body! And for keeping such a strict diet regimen. I applaud your efforts!

Experts advise that you watch your blood sugar levels soon after diagnosis. The change in diet kick starts a dramatic change in your daily sources of carbohydrate. This means you’re going to experience variations in your usual blood-sugar patterns. Test frequently to monitor the change.
