NCGS = non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Ok, so I have been experimenting with what I eat and how I feel afterwards. The other day I ate 2 cups of Post Bran Flakes and I felt absolutely horrible. I became irritable, cranky, fatigued, had a lot of trouble making decisions and concentrating, and just felt "woozy." This effect lasted for 6 hours, with the worst of it occuring about 1-3 hours after eating it. My fiance said my eyes looked puffy as though I had cried but I certainly had not cried. I had not been rubbing my eyes either.
Then I skipped a few days of the bran flakes, but still had some foods containing gluten. I felt better.
And then I had 1 cup of the same cereal this morning and I feel irritable, cranky, fatigued, and have trouble concentrating. I'm also experiencing dry eyes and blurry vision.
It's difficult to know if this effect is being caused by the gluten or the carbohydrates. I have posted a list of my other sympotoms on a diabetes forum (can I reveal which forum this is?) which sound a lot like diabetes but I don't have high blood sugar.
A1C = 5.2% and serum blood glucose 4 hours after a bowl of cereal was 107.
What do you guys think? By the way I have not done any celiac disease or NCGS testing at this point.
