I had increasing difficulty with fatigue for years and it turned out to be Celiac disease. Then, I got type 1 diabetes after going GF to treat Celiac, which was a slow onset which made things very difficult for 1-2 years. My situation isn’t too different than what you describe, actually, even after diagnoses and treatment.

Have you been checked out for celiac? I had all sorts of unexplained health effects but the #1 thing was feeling exhausted all the time and falling asleep after lunch every day.

Those symptoms sound very similar to the fatigue I have, but I have type 2 diabetes and the fatigue started very suddenly after a brief viral infection. I've had the usual tests for Celiac but they were negative. I have seen some signs of improvement on a very low carb diet but it hasn't been consistent and I have trouble sticking to that kind of diet due to cost coupled with the fact that, as an amputee, it's hard for me to get to grocery stores.
