Can't Get Good Sleep

Oh, that is so awful.  And you are far too young for this, too!  You know your pain is bad when you cannot even become immersed in a book by your favourite author.  Sometimes all I can do is lie there and wait.  Too painful to think or do anything.  So sad you are going through this.  I so used to take health for granted until this mess happened to me five years ago. 

 

It may sound weird, but the past five years (I have had a lot of time to think!) has caused me to take inventory of my life and really put things into perspective and become self aware.  My character has changed and I see things so differently now.  I have always been compassionate and empathetic but now even more so.  Helping others cope and manage pain seems to be something I have grown good at.  Going through difficult times (we all have 'em) really brings out the best (or worst) in us.  The first three years were extra tough.  The last two, though I have suffered every single day, have been better because I choose for my days to be better.  My outlook is generally positive.  Some days I can hardly walk and/or move.  Those days I am thankful I have a comfortable house and a bed on which to lie.  The days I do walk (I try to go on daily walks - length varies) I am thankful that I have legs with which to walk. 

 

My dearest friend was diagnosed with a horrific cancer last week.  Her prognosis is very grim.  Though I have severe pain, I have life. 

 

Addy, I truly hope that you have a very deep and sound sleep tonight.  Sleep makes all the difference in the world to me.  My pain is somewhat lessened and my outlook cheerier when I sleep.  So, here's hoping we both wake up refreshed and restored tomorrow!  :)

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
