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.

      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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
