I Don't Feel Well

Sorry to ask the nasty question but how's your poo?
I'm allergic to wheat, and my husband is allergic to dairy. I might have Celiac, but I can't go through the testing because you have to keep eating gluten (wheat protein), but I have anaphylaxis.

Celiac sufferers, and people with undiagnosed food allergies as well, are often hungry no matter how much they eat, because their gut is damaged, and they are not absorbing the nutrients from the foods they are consuming. As a result, some are above or below goal weight. They may be below weight because they aren't absorbing, and they may be above because they aren't absorbing and they are over-compensating by eating lots of carbs and fat. Celiac and food allergies can have an effect on your ability to stay awake, feel energized, focus (brain fog), and while not everyone has obvious physical symptoms like anaphylaxis, many have on-and-off bouts of diarrhea. You can get tested, or you can try an elimination diet where you remove the 8 major food allergens for at least 2 weeks to see initial results, then slowly add back one at a time to see if symptoms are worse with each. If it is Celiac, or long term allergy, it may be as much as 6 months to a year without the food in your diet before you start to feel significantly better.

I'm the same. I got sick in December and everytime i felt like I was recuperating, I fell ill with something else. Eventually my immune system had enough and went on strike. Now, I'm not sick anymore, but really run down, and I think I have developed a brand new thing called laziness. I hope not, because I have heard there's really no cure for that.

have they tested for you? I had mono one time. that's how I felt.

frostyflower, it's complicated because I'm taking iron supplements. What you said about damage makes sense though. I'll have to ask the doctors about it. If they check for that and find it's true, maybe I won't have to go to those different specialists because I'd have my answer.

Agreatday, I wasn't tested but I don't have the other symptoms for it. It's like having a flu that won't go away, right?

I don't have a sore throat. My colds are like that but that's not what it is currently

no tumble. mono is sore throat, and ALWAYS tired.

ok. hope you figure out what it is.

maybe it's mono??

Doubt it
