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!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
