Hi-

Im new to this- Im still in the process of getting a diagnosis - its been a long and miserable 5 months. Does anyone here get nausea, hot flashes, and hallucinations at night - that keep you up tossing and turning????. In the morning I usually have some sort of bowel movement-and by then i feel like I want to rip my insides out. the nausea will stay with me the rest of the day. uggh

I can relate to some of what you describe, but I think it was partially due to yeast overgrowth. However, Celiac can cause the symptoms you describe. Perhaps if you look at when you consume gluten, it might correlate with how you feel throughout the day.

One thing you might try, is to avoid gluten for a few days, just to see how you feel. But as long as you're pursuing testing, it is recommended to continue consuming gluten. This is because test accuracy gets even worse than it already is as the antibodies and intestinal damage diminish. The antibodies typically begin to decline at about two weeks, so one gluten-free week should be ok for a trial.

Anyway, regardless of test results, do try the gluten-free diet. Many have found that it helps, even when all tests are negative.

Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, many many nights. I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia. I"ve changed my diet and no longer have any of those nasty symptoms.

Does your heart race too? Ears ring? Wake up feeling like you just ran for your life?

What you discribe sounds like low blood sugar. - Part of the celiac experience for some of us. It will get better but you will have to watch carbs. If your interested I can help you out with this. Send me an email.

Hello. I can relate to what you are describing. I get really bad nausea at night accompanied by waking up in the middle of the night sweating and ripping the covers off of me. I have been gluten free for 9 months but I think it takes a while to pass. I started going to bed absolutely freezing and shaking only to wake up later burning up. I don't have hallucinations but I do have bad dreams. My sleep issues seem to get better the longer I am gluten free however. Hopefully yours will improve as well.

I don't have problems at night, but in the morning, just as I'm leaving for work, my stomach lurches and I feel the urge to vomit. Could be my breakfast having gluten without my knowledge, could be me just hating my job.

Either way, you should try the diet. I'm awaiting test results too, doing the three month window before the biopsy, and I feel soooo much better. Course i want to kill people when they bring donuts to work, but it makes you feel strong, knowing you won't eat what you know you can't have. A small moral victory, but a victory nonetheless.
