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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
