Hi!  

Your earlier reports indicated that your celiac disease is still active.  I think your sleep issues can resolve, but you will need to remain gluten free to allow for healing.  Celiac disease is systemic and can wreak havoc on so many body systems outside of the GI track.  

Be patient!  ?

Even it it shows normal you body might need more, we are all different not one size fits all. I need increased Magnesium, and even though I used to show normal, had to supplement at 4-5x the dose when I was first diagnosed. I now take just the recommended dose after healing quit a bit.
Do you have issues with C or D? This dictates which one you might need, I found magnesium glycinate was best for making me sleep well and you just take it as recommended to help with sleep, doctors best here. If you have constipation then Natural Vitality Calm and take it in the mornings or afternoons dosing to tolerance (you start at 2g and up the dose 2g a day til you get loose stools then back the dose back down)

Other things to help with sleep is Pumpkin Seed protein powder before bed few tsp, it helps with melotonin and serotonin production. Supplementing Melotonin might help short term also.

If you just started the gluten-free diet consider your immune system is still fighting a war inside your body, and fights even when your asleep. This can make you feel fatigued and tired. Supplementing other B-vitamins (Full complex they work synergistically), vitamin D, zinc, Vitamin C, and Iron in the mornings might help replenish your bodies stockpiles.

Hi 

Thanks for the good Info!!! 

I will try your suggestions and also I am afraid of my HB level is 14 G/DL maybe  I should take iron? because my blood type is AB- its rare type and I am always worried if drop below 14 is considered deficiency..

You are still within the acceptable range for hemoglobin.  Why would you supplement with iron?  Did you know that there are many types of anemia?   Not all people with anemia are low in iron.  Taking iron as a supplement could be dangerous (iron overload) if you do not need it.  Ask your doctor to run blood tests if you think you are low in ferritin or are not processing iron properly.  

Honestly, you admitted to consuming gluten after being diagnosed.  You have not healed.  But it seems like you are taking celiac disease seriously now.  Just stick to the gluten-free diet and be patient.  I know that is so hard to do!  You are lucky you can be a little lazy.  It will allow you to heal too.  Hang in there!

Hello!  

 Have you been tested for diabetes?  Has your doctor tested your blood glucose level at your appointments?  Getting sleepy after meals til you feel like you're fainting and being fatigued all day may be signs that your blood sugar levels are too high. 

 In other posts, Cycling Lady has suggested getting a blood glucose meter (inexpensive ones are available at stores like Wal-Mart) and keeping an eye on how high your blood sugar goes after meals. I think this is a marvelous idea for everyone.  You may need to adjust your diet to keep your blood sugar levels within a desirable range.  Cycling Lady and I have Type Two Diabetes and we control it by "eating to the meter".  Blood sugar levels should be 120 or lower two hours after meals and range from 70 to 100 between meals.  

When I get glutened, my blood sugar levels get all wonky.  Sometimes my blood sugar levels get too high and stay too high while there's inflammation.  And I feel like I'm a zombie, not really fainting, but sort of comatose, very difficult to motivate or think and very fatigued.  

Be sure to stay hydrated, too.  Dehydration can make you feel fatigued.  Being excessively thirsty is also a symptom of diabetes.

Hope this helps!

      How to keep water down?

      Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

      How to keep water down?

      Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the...

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.

      Feeling ill

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!
