Can't Sleep Enough

I had to eat gluten for a while and now I'm able to eat mostly gluten-free but even though I've been feeling better, I can't seem to get enough sleep now. I slept for 10 hours straight today and 5 hours later I really want to to sleep again. I can't figure it out besides that I'm not getting enough vitamins (which I cannot afford to buy right now either) & I have very active dreams (always have) ranging from weird to night terrors. Which are probably the causes, right?

Does this happen to anyone else? :|

wait, r u still eating gluten? gluten can really cause a lot of sleep issues, it's been linked to sleap apnea & narcolepsy, among many things. i overslept all the time when i used to eat gluten, i would never even hear the alarm clock, or i would sleepwalk to turn it off and never have memory of it.

and thyroid issues can cause nightmares & sleep issues too.

You say you are now eating "mostly gluten free" but if you are getting any gluten at all the effect could be the sleepy drowsy disturbed sleep that you are experiencing.

You need to get rid of all gluten if you want your sleep to improve. It sounds more like gluten is getting you than vitamin deficiencies. Vivid dreams and nightmares and night terrors are common symptoms of gluten even from cross contamination.

You will have to look closely at how you may be getting gluten and get really strict about your diet and the cross contamination. I hope it gets better soon.

There are some people who experience withdrawal symptoms from going gluten free and this may also be what is happening if you are sure you aren't getting gluten.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
