Sleep Disorders

When I was little I used to get "night terrors" three or four times a night and would sleepwalk a lot. The doctor said that kids outgrow them around ten years old...but mine continued even after college...they put me on klonopin for a while. They pretty much went away after a while but I would still scream in my sleep every once in a while. So now I find that gluten can cause sleep problems. I have been gluten free since March...but I'm wondering if soy intolerance can maybe cause this too. My husband said I screamed a few nights ago...right after I had eaten soy chips for the first time in weeks. I also got the worst migraine I've ever had after eating them. I haven't had any gluten so could it be the soy?

I had horrible night terrors, as well as paralysis. It was so scary, because I felt like I was suffocating. I would half-wake up, but if my face was in my pillow, and I was paralyzed, I could not breath. This happened forever (into my twenties), until I was diagnosed. After gluten and casein free, I've not had one since. I've no idea about the soy, but I wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in this, and if I had more time, I'd find you some threads... But there is a few on them already there.

I am gluten intolerant and allergic to soy.

Whenever I have the least bit of gluten I get horrific nightmares.

Before I realized it was the gluten giving me the night mares, I thought that I needed some kind of medical help. I was afraid to fall asleep.

Soy affects me in a different way, it physical. Ihope that this helps:)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
