Tiredness after eating

[Sparky]

This may be a stoopid question, but I keep seeing references to extreme fatigue after eating. Is that a fairly standard crohns thing then? That serious need to curl up somewhere almost as soon as you've finished a meal (in my case, the first meal of the day)?

It's possibly a daft question, but I truly thought I was all by myself. I can't even count the number of times I've gone for a bite to eat with DH/DS, and just about made it home before I dozed off for an hour.

What's the deal with that?

i usually feel very tired after eating if i have food later in the evening... i just assumed it had to do with my insulin levels or just heavy eating.

i will pee a lot, and feel very tired.

Yep - I can relate to that.

Are you eating turkey with stuffing, and mashed potatoes and gravy, and pumpkin pie?

It's common---look at dogs & cats and other animals, and little kids after they eat -- what do they do, they curl up and take a nap!

It can be a sign of some blood sugar issues too I think. I always am tired after a heavy meal. When I was flaring really bad I slept most of the day so unsure if it was due to eating or not. I know it was probably due mostly to being severely underweight and anemic though.
