Is similar.
I had huge huge "brain fog" from bread and esp bagels (bagels are typically made from high gluten types of flour).
Before OBT and before I even understood gluten intolerance well, I gave the bagels the heave-ho.
Also, I had a chronic edema of the feet and hands, the hands especially.
My fingers would swell up and I'd have to take my wedding band off.
The swelling episode went away, when I removed gluten.
I also had a chronic GI upset, rapid transit symptoms (food moving thru at very fast rates--sometimes 2 hrs), and cramping. All which I and my doctor "thought" were due to my congenital GI malrotation..a birth defect.
However, I have found for myself at least, that meals that are basically carbohydrate...make me sleepy too. More sleepy than high protein ones.
So I tend to have pasta or potatoes, etc for my nighttime meal, and more protein for lunch and breakfast. A high carb lunch can knock me into naptime too. (high ratios of carbs stimulate serotonin release which is sedating for some people). People vary in this response.
