Occasionally, energy levels may dip slightly after consuming a large meal, while your body works to digest the food.  Because gluten intolerant individuals have to work harder to try to fight the effects in the digestive tract, they commonly feel fatigue after eating. Unlike the occasional normal post-meal lethargy that may occur from time to time, people suffering from gluten intolerance may be completely exhausted after their meals. Many individuals suffering from gluten intolerance complain of irritability after eating.  Irritability may be related to fatigue or can occur as a result of feeling run down in general, similar to how one feels when sick with a cold or flu. Some people with gluten intolerance report having a "foggy mind" right after they eat. In other words, they easily lose their train of thought and find concentration difficult. Headache symptoms are non-specific, and can mimic migraines, tension headaches or cluster headaches. While there is no specific type of headache associated with gluten intolerance, the headache pattern consistently occurs within 30 minutes to an hour after eating for many individuals. Often, people with gluten intolerance experience joint pain, and they sometimes experience numbness or tingling in their arms and legs. While people with gluten sensitivity tend to have more non-gastrointestinal symptoms than people with celiac, they can still experience GI discomfort. After a meal, they may experience abdominal bloating and pain, gas, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation and foul-smelling stools. Some people may also experience symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, weight loss, osteoporosis, mouth ulcers, skin rashes, or tingling in the hands and feet.

Summary: Pay attention to your energy level after you eat foods containing gluten. Examine your mental and emotional state after eating wheat products. Notice when headaches develop after a meal. Observe changes in your extremities. Watch for symptoms associated with poor digestive health.

Parenting skills, like any other ability, can be learned.  Taking parenting classes can help you learn what you’ll need to know and do as you prepare for the arrival of a newborn.  Most classes cover changing diapers, bathing, burping, and feeding your baby, among other skills. For a unique bonding experience, attend these classes with your partner. Books that offer advice to expectant parents (and, especially, books targeted specifically towards men) can offer valuable insights and information.  Many of these books are available at your local library, though you could of course buy them, too. Focus on learning practical skills like how to calm a crying baby. When your partner goes to the doctor for checkups and ultrasounds, tag along.  Listen to the doctor’s advice.  Write down information about what the birth process will entail and how you can prepare for the newborn’s arrival. Talk to your partner about where they want you to be during labor.  Some expectant mothers want their partners in the birthing room during labor.  Others expect their partner to remain outside.  There is no right way for a couple to plan this experience, but you should discuss the options together and come to an agreement. If you’re invited into the birthing room, you’ll probably just be there to squeeze your partner’s hand and offer moral support.
Summary: Take parenting classes. Read parenting books. Attend prenatal care appointments. Plan for the actual birth process.
