Has anyone ever had a feeling of numbness in their stomachs at night? When I was on gluten I use to wake up in the middle of the night and my stomach would feel numb...it was located mostly on the left side just below my rib cage. It is quite a weird feeling...I think I was just glutened yesterday...because I awoke with that wierd feeling again. It seems to go away as soon as I stand up and burp a handfull of times. Thanks...!

Well, although I did notice my stomach not feeling right if I had eaten wheat, it was only as I was limiting the amount of wheat that I noticed it. Before this time I was eating tons of the stuff, so my gut was probably just too overwhelmed, and I was too accustomed to it to know better.

Still, it didn't feel like what I'd call numb. It was more of feeling that my stomach wasn't able to do its job - like the digestive process was halted, or greatly impaired.

...it was located mostly on the left side just below my rib cage.

That's where the stomach is located, so I guess when you refer to "stomach", perhaps you mean the whole gut in general?

The spot you are talking about is ususally associated with gas pains. If you have a large gas bubble there, then it may feel "numb" because it is pushing against the walls of the stomach and not allowing them to touch. Hope is doesn't hurt!

Oh yes, i would bet a hundred bucks this is a gas problem...i went through this myself, sometimes it hurts, sometimes is a numbing/tickling feeling...hang in there, it will get better!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but who lack knowledge about how gluten may be hidden in the food supply. I mean, who would expect to find wheat in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but you may want to consider making your kitchen entirely gluten free to eliminate the possibility of accidents and cross contamination. It would also simplify your meal preparation. Yes, I'm talking about both of you eating gluten free in the home. Many couples find this is the easiest and most practical approach to being consistent and keeping their celiac loved one safe. You might find this helpful:
