UGH its 5:30 am already and I still CANT fall asleep. I'm so tired that I cant keep my eyes open, yet actually falling asleep is impossible.

I can only think of one suspect: gluten. I sure feel more stomach pains than normal, or maybe its just the pains themselves that is causing it. i don't know man, i just HATE IT. I NEED to be sleeping, and its so stupid i canttttt :(

EDIT: Make that 6:30 now... ok seriously, what do you guys do to help when it gets this bad??

I pretty much just whine about it. I've melatonin and kava and they sometimes help but I wake up feeling hung over.

I'm finally today getting over a week of bad sleeping, but of course I had to get up and come to work...

It's funny, for years I had periodic bouts of insomnia, and I was always a light sleeper, early riser. I never connected them to my stomach issues or problems with my hands and feet.

Now, I'm the heaviest sleeper ever! I fell asleep on the coach the other night, and my wife said she just about had to drop-kick me to wake me up. And I keep sleeping through alarms, I think I need to get a loader one! Without a snooze.

I'm sorry that you are having truble sleeping. I would suggest going for a walk/jog to get tired... But you may not feel like it and the weather isn't always all that warm. A glass of wine may also help?

I've been gluten free for 5 weeks now. I have always had a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. Finally in the last week I'm sleeping better and having trouble waking up. I find if I wait until my body is ready to go to sleep, when I go to bed I usually go to sleep. I know it is frustrating.

Yea, I had insomnia for years. Mine ended up being due to the gluten. My insomnia went away along with everything else when I went gluten-free.

I used to turn on the TV to something like the history channel, and just doze off to it. Even if I didn't fall asleep any faster, it helped to not stress out about it. If I just laid there, I would obsess about it and make it worse.

I only get it now when I am glutened but it is HORRIBLE...like you described. Exhausted but you can't sleep. :( I take prescription medication when this happens. Otherwise, not only am I glutened but I'm so comatose the next day that I feel even worse (9and do dumb things like put my socks in the refrigerator instead of the hamper. :blink:

I didnt get to sleep til about 8 am --it was already light outside :blink: . So i ran yesterday on about 2 hours to sleep. I didnt really feel too much out of the ordinary pains, just the insomnia which is why i suspect gluten. Usually I'm the one with excessive sleeping and deep sleeping.

And it dont help that I know have a cold (sore throat, etc) so i gotta deal with that too kinda keeping me up/wearing me out.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
