I am 6 days gluten free. I must say my brain fog is better but I am having trouble sleeping. I go to sleep rather easy but I am waking up around 4 or 5 am the last few mornings a cant go back to sleep. I must say one of my main symptoms of celiac disease was fatigue as I could and would sleep about 12 to 14 hours a day. Please tell me this gets better!! But on a good note I have been told by a few people that I have more coloring in my face.

Yes it does get better. In the early days I was waking up that early because I was "starving". I ate like crazy for the first 6 weeks. My body was playing catch up. I sleep great now!

Shay,

Kind of off track from the original post, but I saw that you recently became corn free, grain free...etc. What made you decide to do this? Did you get tested? I have been tested through enterolab and came back positive for gluten, dairy, and soy. I am wondering if there are more things since the test only included gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and yeast. I have been feeling better, but not all the way better. I still take excedrine several times a week, still get really tired, still feel nauseas some of the time.

Over time you just realize what bothers you and you cut them out. I have been corn free for years. It always bothered me. I recently tried adding some back in. It still affects my blood sugar but no other symptoms. I am trying to keep my BS stable, so I wont eat it often...hardly ever...if at all. I dont need it in my diet. I cut out the grains because in general I do not tolerate starchy carbs very well. It really messes with my BS and I get digestive symptoms. The SCD diet is what I eventually adopted because it is what I am basically eating/not eating anyway.

It should resolve soon. One thing that may be going on is that gluten was a neurotoxin for you. Your brain got used to having it's own gluten supplied drug stash, so to speak, and now it has to learn how to sleep without the soporific effect of the gluten. For most this should resolve within a couple of weeks at the most. As long as you don't regluten.

Yes, the same thing happened to me. The first 6-8 weeks I was gluten-free I woke up at 4AM every day! It was driving me crazy, but it gradually stopped happening and now I get a full night's sleep.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
