Getting Up All The Time?

I was curious if anyone else had these problems . . . my sleep is constantly interrupted by me having to get up at least 5 times a night to use the rest room. It is horrible because I feel like I am never sleeping. I get up just fine and I survive the day just fine . . . sometimes I am really tired come 9:00 but normally can stay awake until 11:00.

Also, the other problem is the minute I lay down on my back or lay on my left side, my stomach/gut/intestine noises become loud and embarrassing. My husband just looks at me like I have terrible animals fighting in my gut. I constantly go to bed feeling bloated and/or stuffed like I ate too much (which is true sometimes). I am gaining more weight then I would like but I have decreased my amount of exercise and plan to change that soon.

Just curious if anyone experiences this.

I also had that problem, getting up 3-5 times a night to use the restroom. My doctor suggested that this could be caused from other food intolerances and I have tried to really watch my diet besides gluten. I basically have tried to exclude nuts, dairy, corn and gluten and I have stopped getting up at night. This is the first time in years that I have not gotten up to go to the restroom all night and it is great!!!! The other night I ate some popcorn without thinking and I was up half of the night. I also get night sweats and these have stopped unless I eat something I shouldn't.

Hope this helps!

*sigh* Sounds like me over the last month. As of this last Monday (3 days) I've given up eating any grains at all (I think it's rice, but I'll check this in a week or so) and I'm being very careful with dairy (I'm only eating yogurt or a little cheese but with the cheese I'm taking a lactaid pill.) So far, I'm feeling much better, even in the daytime. Last night was the first time in weeks I haven't felt the need to take both a pseudophed and motrin before going to sleep and I almost slept through the night (up only twice.)

I'm going along with someone's idea that as we heal, the new intestinal linings are more sensitive and after a while these new problems will go away.

Pseudoephedrine (sudafed) can also be keeping you up at night most people either are made jittery by it or are made tired, you might be a person who gets jittery and can't sleep.......just something to think about.

Thanks I already am dairy free for the most part because I am lactose intolerant. I can't seem to give up corn and rice though because I am also a vegetarian and w/o those staples, I would be miserable.

What seems to bother my stomach the most, believe it or not, are vegetables! All kinds. They flow right through and the gluten-free soy sauce seems to bother me too sometimes.

Although, I am thankful I slept through last night. Go figure!

Hi! I have been gluten-free for 5 months now. My principal benefits have been better sleep and more energy. I still get up once a night, once in awhile twice if I drank water during the evening, eating fish will also do it sometimes. I have no trouble getting back to sleep or getting to sleep in the first place which I used to have. I am still working on other foods that may bother me. I am on the SCD diet, so am not eating rice, potatoes, yams, etc. Have been experimenting with kefir the past week, using lactase with it since I am also lactose intolerant. I suspect it is giving me trouble, though. I did enjoy the flavor!, but it's not worth it to mess up the holidays. I think the body has to get used to something like that, but this is not the time. The increased energy is a plus. I don't take even naps any more. Once in while I still get drowsy when reading or watching tv. but not as often as I used to. I find when watching reruns, that I recognize that I have seen the beginning, but the ending is brand new to me! Cheers, Ruth

Pseudoephedrin sure will keep you up at night! When I was on it for allergic congestion, I went almost two weeks with little and no sleep. I called the pharmacist and asked him about adverse reactions, since I had just started several new meds, and he told me to stop the pseudoephedrin immediately! It was an adverse reaction, and I can never take it again! Please do not rule out meds as causing some of your problems!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
