Lister--it's very common to feel fatigued while healing. I still have days that I could go to bed by 6 PM! When I was a few months into it, like you are, I was tired pretty much all the time--for the first 3 months, I felt like a wet dishrag most of the time! There's no way around it--you have to give these things time :) When you think about it, your body is busy healing, and that alone takes a lot of energy.

Sounds like you are trying to sleep too much.

The trick is to get up at a pre-determined hour everyday and regualate to that not try and catch up.. you can't store sleep as it were so 10 hrs last night means you slept badly, poor quality sleep.

I have problems myself but it takes recognising this fact to get over it. Its no miracle cure but if you get up, manage a bit of exersize during the day even though you're tired you'll sleep better at night.

yep, sleeping too much can make you tired as well.

are you getting enough exercise?

are you getting enough stress relief?

are you getting balanced meals, include enough healthy fats?

You might consider having your thyroid levels looked at. There is an association for Celiac and auto-immune thyroid disorders. I would suggest going to an endocronologist though, getting the proper diagnoses could depend on it. I would also look into diabetes and check that you are not having any other symptoms for it.

im thinking the tiredness may just be linked to my job, for the first 4 days of the week i have to get up at 4:20 am or 5:20 am depending on the day, and i cant get myself to fall asleep until 10 so i only get 6 1/2 hours a night, then on my days off i stay up tell like 2 am and just sleep until my body wantes to get up usualy for food. i think my job is just finally taking its toll on me, could be wrong though i guess it could be something else, but i dont really match any other symptoms for like diabetes or thryoid problems

Lister, this sounds like a very normal case of work induced insomnia, add to that your worries about celiac at the moment and its hardly surprising you are having problems sleeping and feeling tired.

What you are meant to do is get up at the same time each day regardless ... which is I know easier said than done and "too much work and no play makes Lister a dull boy" .. so what I have done sucessfully is do this for 2-3 weeks until your sleep patterns normalise then try and push it a bit with later nights etc. but stiill not trying to get 10 hours on a weekend... try and get some exersize, even if its just a walk in the fresh air each day. I have never been a morning person anyway but at least now i function.. albeit on autopilot a little until my 3rd coffee.

It takes a few weeks to get used to forcing yourself out of bed but it does work. My friends girlfriend was a really bad case and went to a really hard to get into sleeep clinic, its a research clinic and has huge waiting lists and basically this is what they made her do. I was at one point trying to get into the clinic myself I was so desperate and my friend (her BF) basically told me what I told you ...

Yep but the problem is the change in when you wake up.... the body adjusts poorly to changing these cycles, some people worse than others which is why some people don't get much effect from Jetlag and others do...

You stated in your first post you had slept 10hrs which seems excessive.

If you are regularly getting 6 1/2 then that is what your body is adjusting to so sleeping 8 on the weekend or 10 just confuses it knowing when it is meant to be sleeping and not.

Personally I find 6 1/2 about my maximum but that's just me, but say you need 8 you need to work on this from both sides... that is get up at a certain hour regardless of how **** you feel. If you only had 4 hours then you will obviously be whacked but you will fall asleep that night. When your not working you need to do the same ... I know its tedious but its really the only way to break the cycle. You need to foget the hours and set a time... and that time is dictated by your work.

From what I have read the best way for our bodies to be refreshed is to go to bed and get up at the same time daily. The reccomended times are 10pm-6am. Between 10 and 2 is when are bodies rejuvenate.

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.
    • SMK7
      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?  
    • RMJ
      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
