I don't think your a freek! When we were kids (and there were alot of us) my brother would choke and weez in his sleep, I could hear him from the other bedroom. As we were close in age opposed to the other kids (13 mos.) I would go into the room and slap him awake. My dad has this also, my poor mother to this day has to go sleep in their motorhome, which they have parked on the property, just so she can sleep! I don't know how common it is to have both, but I do know sleep apena is common. Hey, total change of subject, but how did the meeting go out at kaiser saturday, I'm going to the next one for sure.

I remember coming home from college, and wherever my father was sleeping that night, the whole house shook.

The meeting was okay. Weird tho. They seemed to see celiac disease as some kind of burdon, I view it as "FINALLY, I know what it is! YAY!". Maybe I'm weird. And they talked about how big this transition is, it hasn't been that hard for me. Maybe I'm weird. Next month they r gonna have a guest speaker. C u there!

Two years ago when I started visiting doctors nonstop, I even went as far as to get tested for sleep apnea. I had no other explanation for how tired I always was.

Well... I was tested negative, no sleep apnea. Only one small apnea all night... but the doctor did say it is something that will likely develop, in like, 20 years or something.

Hope that helps. :)

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
