I have been feeling crappy for a couple months now. Some days were worse than others. I went to the Docs and had a physical and blood work. It all checked out good. But I am feeling worse if anything. Fatigue....brain fog...tired all the time. Can't sleep very well. No energy - which sucks when you are a runner.
So Wednesday after a run I was talking to a running friend and he suggested it was possibly something food related. I have never had a food allergy, but I decided to track what I was eating. Friday morning was ok. About one hour after lunch the crash came. All I had was a bagel sammich (turkey, swiss, guacamole), potato salad. And I remember that it was a common time. I am thinking I possibly could now be gluten intolerant. I do not have the gastro symptoms, but they are not always present. The other symptoms line up. So I am going to try and do 6 weeks gluten free and see. This will be hard because I eat sammichs every day for lunch. Pizza. Beer. Lots of pasta. Beer. Breakfast burritos.
Gah! But, I am tired of feeling like shit 12 hours a day. Something has got to change.
BTW - Bought a 6 pack of gluten free beer. Actually not bad at all!
