When Do You Start Feeling Normal In The Mornings?

[River*]

When do you start feeling normal in the mornings? This really effects my life.

I have probably had Celiac disease for about 20 years, just recently diagnosed. I'm still young though.

I still have the messed up mornings and then the nap ATTACK that puts me back to normal for the afternoon and evening. What is that?? When does this go away and you start feeling solid all day through?

I've been gluten free 2 months.

THe fatigue can be helped with B12, magnesium and D. If you can, have your levels tested and don't forget to test for iron. You haven't been taking in nutrients and you may need a boost to get back on track.

I don't know what you mean by messed up mornings. If you mean trips to the bathroom, I have several of those in the morning no matter what. It just seems the way I am now.

The mornings still aren't my best. (Not because I'm pregnant either )

Generally, if I have trouble with food, it's in the morning. I am usually hungry when I wake up, but I can't eat a lot or I feel sick. So, I try something really light, like a piece of fruit or something along those lines. Or I eat breakfast really slow, a few bites here and there while I'm doing something else. Sometimes I'll start with juice or coffee first, just to feel like I'm getting my digestive system awake and moving.

Once I get my metabolism going, it seems, I feel much better. By lunch I'm pretty good.

I woke up feeling more rested within just a couple of weeks (if your post is referring to fatigue)

But I have NEVER been a morning person, never been able to eat in the morning. I've pretty much stayed the same, it's just a teeny bit more pronounced with the celiac because my system is a little more sensitive.

Feel better!!

Mornings were especially hard for me in the beginning. I'm still not great in the morning, but much better. I actually would not leave the house unless I had been up for at least 3 hours or so. I couldn't because I would be in the bathroom 2-3 times. I'm a lot more normal now, but will make sure I've been awake for a couple of hours before I leave.

Also, I still wake up tired. I have my whole life. My ferritin is still low. I take iron and D3 as well as a lot of other supplements. I'm also hypothyroid.

I think it just takes a while to heal. I have to say that I feel great compared to where I was a year ago. Hang in there - it does get better.

I also used to take naps every afternoon for 2-3 hour at a time. I seldom take a nap anymore. It took me several months to get to this point.
