Snoring As A 1st Symptom Of Gluten Exposure?


Molecular Dude

Hello everyone.

I'm curious as to how unique my symptoms are. I find that every time I suffer an accidental gluten exposure, usually as a result of eating in a restaurant, that my first symptom is that I will snore and wake up repeatedly that night and the next. My suspicions are always confirmed on days 3-5 after the exposure when I will experience a range of gastrointestinal symptoms. I generally do not snore otherwise, so when I do, I know that I'm going to be miserable a few days later. Do any of you experience anything similar?

Thanks

I have had this happen when I stop and think about it. My nose gets clogged up and then of course I snore and sometimes wake myself up! Otherwise I don't snore as far as I know. At least that is what I have been told.

My misery starts sooner when glutened however. Usually that very night my elbows get sore and I get restless leg syndrome from old scar tissue acting up in my low back. I have to do yoga and piriformis stretches to sleep and at its worst take ibuprofin which always worries me since I have had real kidney issues. Taking bromelain/papain regularly as well as nattokinase really takes down the inflamation (and scar tissue) in a pretty effective and safer way however. I also use valerian before I retire which helps me relax. And then there are of course all those detox herbs I have mentioned elsewhere in a variety of posts--whihc really do help quite a lot. Just have to make sure I get to them which sometimes is difficult unless I am determined.

This is wierd as it happens to me too, but I've never put two and two together until now. I've always had reactions to gluten foods, and now it sounds like snoring is one of them! I suffered from hayfever as a kid, and drinking certain beers used to bring on a hayfever like reaction and I'd snore that night. Wine never seems to bother me.

Now I'm gluten free(ish) my wife might get a good nights sleep!

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
