Hi, I want to answer to my stomach when it grumbles for a late night snack, but I want it to be healthy and delicious, any ideas? Thanks.

I'd stick with fresh fruit, that way you won't be trying to digest something when you go to bed. Fruit digests very easily.

Yeah, that'll work I think. Apples have soluable fiber to help fill you up too. Always a good time for a nice crispy apple. Oddly, I find peanuts seem to help me sleep better, maybe because of the tryptophane. They do satisfy, but it tends to take more than I think is good for me all at once, so they aren't too good for satisfying the tummy.

A banana and a tablespoon of almond butter :)

Yum ... I'll just take the almond butter on a spoon!

I love apples and peanut butter for a snack. I also enjoy popcorn (air popped is healthy) but I like butter and salt :ph34r: What about a sorbet if you have a sweet tooth. Or a yogurt smoothie. I must admit when I reach for a snack after the kids go to bed it is usually something I don't want to share! This is what happens to only children when they are adults!

Frozen blueberries and maple syrup.

I don't know how satisfying this will be for you....but, when I'm reading in bed or watching something, I eat low sodium sunflower seeds - lots of 'em! Just good to crunch and healthy too.

Or, rice cakes, for something really bland adn uninteresting!

I'll second apples and peanut butter, nuts, dried fruit, a scrambled egg. Might not be the best prebed snack...but one of my snack favs is the sea salt lunderg rice chips with salsa and a some black beans. yum! and has fiber too... Also, veggies with some dressing on the side is always healthy.

I had a navel orange and trail mix last night. I crave something filling. LL

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
