There are a few things other than Celiac disease that cause problems with wheat; I've never been able to get a solid diagnosis other than ruling out Celiacs but I know if I have too much wheat, especially in the form of light fluffy baked goods, I get very tired and cranky as well as having digestive issues.
It could be an additive used in commercial baking because I seem to be fine with no-wheat gluten and some forms of wheat,but pragmatically avoiding wheat helps me.
- vetrom 13y agoCould it merely be sugar crash from metabolism and starch breakdown? A lack allergies or what not does not imply that it's healthy to stuff your face with it all day. EDIT: nevermind, acconrad described the same thing 3 hours ago.
- xiaohanzhang14 13y agoThis entire thread is like a WebMD page. Somehow a food coma resulted in a Celiac disease diagnosis. Not that it's impossible, but it's certainly implausible. Sounds like your lunches include a bunch of carbs, too much sugar, and/or maybe a drink or two. If it happens frequently, habits form. Get real, guys.

- graeme 13y agoI didn't say I have Celiac disease. I said, since I quit wheat, I never get food comas. I used to get them routinely. I don't know WHY I don't get them. Celiac is not the only issue wheat can cause. I feel fairly confident in these results. I tested wheat in isolation, repeatedly. I've tested other variables: carbs, sugar, dairy. None of them ever gave me a food coma, in the absence of wheat. It seems completely reasonable for me to avoid wheat, given the results of my experiments. Why are you so certain I must wrong?
