Insomnia & Lack Of Energy

Hi,

 

I have been gluten-free since 5/21/2012.  I have suffered insomnia since my teenage years.  After being gluten-free for a couple of months I started to sleep better, but for the last two months I am back to only sleepin 4-5 hours a night.  I also have a lack of energy and weakness.  The other day I tried to change the setting on my shower and was not able to twist the shower head like I had been able to before.  Anyone else with these problems?

 

Thanks

Have you been glutened recently? I was glutened twice in the last month, and even though most of the symptoms have gone away some still linger. Anxiety is still present, although mild, and I can't sleep more than a few hours at a time. It's gradually getting better though.

 

The brain & neurological related symptoms always last longer than the other physical symptoms for me, and many others.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. It's unlikely that they contain any gluten, but not impossible. This is the one I looked at: https://www.preservision.com/areds-2-formula-minigels/

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey—it sounds like you’ve been through a lot, but it’s great to hear you’re feeling better since cutting out gluten! The struggle to get clear answers can be so frustrating, especially when tests come back negative but your body is clearly reacting. It’s smart to hold off on retesting for celiac until you’ve reintroduced gluten (if you choose to), but in the meantime, listening to how your body responds is key. The overlap with perimenopause and gut issues is no joke—hormones really do throw everything into chaos! It’s awesome that you’re working with a kinesiologist and focusing on whole foods; that’s helped so many of us here too. And yes, eating out...

      @Izelle, you are welcome! It is important to know that beginning the gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet previous to celiac testing will invalidate the testing. One should seek out testing before experimenting with eliminating gluten. Also, remember that celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. When a celiac consumes gluten it triggers an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small bowel. That can be confusing to a lot of people because it is an autoimmune response that involves food. So, allergy testing is of no use in diagnosing celiac disease. Of course, people can also have allergies to wheat, barley or rye (the three...

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello Suze and welcome to the forum. Can you tell us which country you are posting from?  The reason I ask is that in some countries, it is quite a good idea to be tested for coeliac disease because if it turns out you are a coeliac, you will be given additional support by the government.  For example if you live in the UK, the NHS offers support from a nutritionist, DEXA bone scans to check for osteoporosis/osteopenia to which coeliacs are sometimes prone, additional vaccinations against certain illnesses, annual reviews with a gastroenterologist to check for dietary compliance and possible health complications, and, in some regions, a prescription to help with the purchase of gluten free bread...

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Michael P · Posted

      Hello,  I apologies in advance if this topic has been covered previously, but I am new to the site.  Can someone tell me if they know of a certified gluten free Areds 2 vitamin ?  ,, I was taking RITE-AID brand but it seems to be very difficult to acquire as of late.  I have tried Baush & Lomb , and had a reaction so I am staying away from anything that doesn't state "GLUTEN FREE" on the label.  Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.    Michael P
