This 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.

I 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?

But there isn't a way a doctor can sell drugs they get kickbacks for that...

Plus what would the carb, sugar producing companies say!
