When Do You Start Feeling Normal In The Mornings?


River*

Recommended Posts

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.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
