I hope my hubby will also stop snoring after abstaining from dairy for awhile. Abstaining from gluten relieved his arthritis pain, but did zip for his snoring. After he showed positive reactions to dairy on the ELISA test, he cut out all dairy. I always got sinus congestion symptoms before I abstained from dairy 3 years ago. So I anticipate the day (night :lol: ) his sinus congestion disappears and he no longer snores. ;)

I doubt that I have completely stopped snoring since going gluten-free, but I know that I snore much less, and not as loudly as before. My snoring used to wake my husband often, and he frequently complained that he couldn't get a decent nights sleep because of my snoring. I haven't heard a single complaint since going gluten free last October!

It makes sense to me because I had terrible sinus problems, frequent respiratory ailments, and constant allergies. My sinuses have gradually healed, I haven't had a single cold or anything else, and my allergies are the mildest they have been in more than 30 years. Breathing easier surely accounts for the huge reduction in snoring, at least in my case.

Same story for my duaghter who is 40. She started feeling really run down last fall and since she was quite a snorer, the doctor put her through the sleep test for apnea; which she passed with flying colors. As testing for her exhaustion continued, she suggested a celiac blood test because her dad has it. (even though she had tested negative 3 years ago) This time she came back 'off the charts' positive for celiac. She started the gluten free diet immediately and had absolutely amazing results in a little over a week. Funny thing.....her snoring has completely stopped; and it was so bad before going gluten free that her husband couldn't sleep with her.

Her experience has caused me to encourage the rest of our family to get tested for celiac periodically rather than assume that one negative test means they are home free.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
