I have a dreadful time not only going to sleep, but staying asleep. I recently read that you should take about 500 mg magnesium AND 500 mg calcium an hour or so before bed. I swear it's helping me.....I've been going to sleep fairly easily, and best of all, I don't wake up over and over. Perhaps there's a connection, I'd like to think this this is working. I've been doing this routine for a week or two now, and my sleep has been pretty consistent.

I turn a fan on in my room. The white noise helps put me to sleep.

Yep, I sleep with a fan on in the summer and a white noise machine in the winter, lol.

I also take 500 mg magnesium late in the evening, lol.

I hope the Doctor figures this out for you blueeyedamanda. At least it hasn't been going on too long for you. Every time I bring it up, I'm told that it's probably hormone related since I'm 43. I do have a prescription for Ambien, but am trying all the natural remedies first. I think your working on changing it before it turns into a real pattern.

Tonight for me: Eye mask, ear plugs, drinking sleepy time tea, taking magnesium/calcium, and doing mild stretches, also using bright light therapy for 1/2 hour when I wake up.

Oh my, wouldn't it be just so much easier for me to take the Ambien!

But is Ambien habit forming? I am worried about stuff like that.

I don't know if it's habit forming but I love Ambien. I sleep like a baby. I have had insomnia problems since childhood, about 40 years. It works great.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a...

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the...

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
