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.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood t...

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
