Stomach Pain At Night

Does anyone experience worse pain at night after being gluttened. I am trying to figure out what is going on. I will have pain at night in my abdomen. WHich causes me not to sleep well. It has been this whole week and I think I may have had gluten on Monday. During the day I haven't had a ton of symptoms, other then some C. It seems to hit me sometimes out of the middle of no where .I will be fine and then bam. The pain at night is weird. I guess I could describe it as like my intestines being stuck together(maybe they are!LOL!). Ok, it is all sounding weird, but I think it is strange that it is worse at night and it wakes me up. I sleep very restlessly when this happens.

yes, I am totally there with ya on that one. I blam it on the fact that during the day I am to busy to notice but at night when I am more relaxed I pick up on it more. Not to say that I don't feel the pain during the day, but like you said its stronger at night

When I get the intestinal pains I take long hot baths and lay with my heating pad on my belly/side/back or wherever I hurt. That usually helps me enough that I can fall asleep.

However, I've noticed that when I lay down I tend to experience a lot of nausea and reflux which is a fairly new thing with me. Anyone else have this problem?

Lately, I have been waking up with pressure in my upper abdominal area--almost like indigestion. I mentioned this to my gastro. doc. who I saw last week. He felt around a little, and told me to take Phazyme.

I wake up at about 2-3:00am . I feel famished. Like I'm starving. Either I'm hungry or thirsty or I need to go to the bathroom. Continues - post Gluten-free Casein-free soy f.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
