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.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
