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.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
