Sleeping Issues?

hi. i'm wondering if anyone has this kind of problem. i have 3 toddler kids, all gluten intolerant, who all don't sleep well if the temperature of their room isn't 'just right.' that is, me and my husband can sleep in the room that's about 70 degrees but the kids can't sleep in the same room because they are uncomfortable. they seem to be extremely temperature sensitive and it seems they are unable to have their bodies adjust to the room temperature well. for example, last night our house temp was 69, but they all woke up cranky as all hell saying they were 'too hot.' but my husband and i were fine. does anyone have this experience? ??? my nights are not easy trying to adjust to their body temperature.

thanks in advance!

I have wondered about this myself. My 9 year old doesn't have the problem with sleeping, but is very sensitive to anything hot. Her showers would make me shiver and any hot drinks need to be cooled down to tepid or else she complains they are too hot. Not sure if it is a celiac thing or just extra sensitive skin.

Well, I do know children without gluten problems who are this sensitive to temperature, but it does seem curious that all three are having an issue.

However, thyroid issues might apply - they can make the temperature regulation out of wack.

Also, allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities to food could cause issues, too. I've been finding out that for some of the intolerances, it can interfere with how your body absorbs tryptophan. Which means that emotions and sleep are out of wack the next couple of days as your body can't make enough seratonin and melatonin.

We never realized our kids had food issues, but after going gluten free, we found out that there were a few more hiding in there too - only realized after a food log. When my daughter gets her bad foods, she always has a hard time sleeping, and the temperature tends to be one of the things that really bugs her as she can't get to sleep.

Don't know if that applies, but since they have one intolerance, it might very well be they have some milder ones that are simply causing just enough damage to affect mood, but not the gut, eh?

good luck!

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
