I have a similar issue, undiagnosed at this time. Try keeping peanut m&ms around. For me it stops the shakes and eases the fog. But be careful it covers the symptoms well so you need to monitor your health asuch as possible. The chocolate has iron and sugar, digests quick, the peanuts digest slow, releasing more iron and sugar, proteins and ect.
It works well enough that I have survived being homeless and the improper diet for two yrs. And keep an eye out for other things that help. But you need quick and sustaining sustanance. Not just one or the other
It's not a good idea to eat junk food when you have Celiac's. Dyes, preservatives & thickeners have hidden wheat products. Not to mention it takes 6 months or more gluten-free for your digestive tract to heal well enough to absorb nutrients properly. My daughter is almost 19, diagnosed in Oct, still sleeps a lot! When she returned to high school in January she was asleep by 7. She's not a big veggie eater, so she sticks to apples & bananas thru the day to keep her blood sugar up. Fluctuations tire her faster.
Watch out for stuff with gluten free ingredients but doesn't say it's gf. It needs to say it or you risk getting sick from cross-contamination. She just missed 2 days cause she ate oatmeal, a gluten-free food.
Until you have been diagnosed AND have seen a dietician for a few months, THEN offer your opinion!
Call your local food bank and every church pantry you can to find healthy food for Celiac's. We found only one church that could help, but they were a life-saver!

Try to see a dietician if you can. Contact food service at your school for options. If my daughter's small rural school has gf food, maybe your school does too! Ryan's nurse, counselor & principal KNEW she had Celiac's but never mentioned the gf options in cafeteria, found out when Ryan asked if hot dogs were gf. They weren't.

Send me a private message, will put you in contact with her.
