Snoring As A 1st Symptom Of Gluten Exposure?

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!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
