Anyone Feel Worse When They Sleep Late?

I've been finding that regardless of my diet and activities, my stomach seems to be much more tempermental on mornings where I sleep past 9am. Any chance this happens to anyone else? There is a chance other factors are contributing, as my various medicine and meal schedules get thrown off by starting my day later, but for the most part it seems to be only when I sleep late. Is this common? Anyone have any explanations?

Is it that you are sleeping longer when you wake up past 9am? I know that I have to eat frequently. If I don't eat often then I get very hungry and it hurts to eat when I finally do. It takes my body a while to recover when I get to the point of being starving. So, if by sleeping in you are sleeping longer, could that be the case?

If that is not it, then I have no clue other than to say trust your body. It may not make sense, but if you are seeing a pattern, then I would set the alarm for 8:45 and give your body what it needs. I think our bodies are pretty good at sending us signals and even if it isn't convenient it is usually the best thing for us to listen to them.

I have found it helpful to work with my body's natural cycles, rather than try to force it into one which happens to suit my idea of a convenient schedule. I also know that eating too late messes my system up for awhile, and it can be somewhat painful.

Yes, I sleep late on the weekend and was doing so over the holiday, getting more sleep that I needed, but at the same time found without fail that each time I slept in, my stomach was a mess all day. I am definitely considering waking at 8 am everyday and going through the exact same medication and food schedule to make things easier for my body - even though sleeping late is one my favorite things to do.

If you need to catch up on sleep, then try getting to bed earlier and waking up at your regular schedule. :) Of course, I'm not the best example...I am a total night owl...love to stay up late and sleep in late (and pay the price with being tired all the time.)

I've been known to wake up at my usual time, eat something and then turn around and get right back into bed for a few hours if I still need to get some sleep. This seems to work much better for me than disrupting my usual schedule and it also tends to make it easier for me to re-adjust to my regular schedule.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
