I had undiagnosed Celiac for quite some time, symptoms slowly getting more severe as years passed. I got comments like this often when I’d try to discuss what was going on with me. One of my most major disruptive issues was feeling extremely tired after meals… I pretty much had to sleep for 1-4 hours about an hour after eating. This caused all sorts of problems with work and other people. When I’d tell people “wow, I get incredibly exhausted after meals” they’d say “yeah bro, food coma! I get that too!” and it was well, not exactly the same… or “you smoke too much weed!” It’s already so difficult to determine if something is normal or serious, since you only know your own body.
man food coma is so specifically when you eat too much, if they interpret “i get tired after eating” as food coma then i worry about their eating habits.
