There are no official stats on it, which is something I'd like to do myself in grad school, but from what I've seen on forums and from an informal poll I did, there are a lot of people with Narcolepsy that could benefit. The Narcolepsy genes have also been found to be Celiac genes. IMHO it would...

I recently read that Celiac is known to cause secondary autoimmune disorders and allergies. I have Narcolepsy that is triggered by gluten, but I also have some lingering Narcolepsy symptoms on a gluten-free diet that seem to be from permanent damage. I found out I have a Celiac haplotype DRB...

LOL that happened to me 2 nights ago. I had these giant slices of cheese pizza in my hand and I thought "no, I can't eat them" and then I was talking to someone and thought "screw it I'm hungry. I'm eating them" and ate them anyway, and then I was horrified "oh no I'm going to get sick!" Then...

Oh this TOTALLY happens to me. If I eat gluten I wake up at 2am with panic attacks worrying about the stupidest things. My heart races before I'm even awake, and those ghost dreams are the worst! I wake up paralyzed and can't scream and it feels like they're in the room. Of course, I have...

Occipital migraines? I get visual disturbances too, and sometimes when I read, the center of my vision disappears (not just a dark hole...completely gone). My doctor said it's occipital migraines but without pain. I dunno, worth a guess.

Oh man that sucks! No wonder the last turkey I cooked gave me problems. I never even thought they'd ever inject a raw bird with gluten. Those cads! Argh. Here I thought I was being good and gluten-free with any old frozen turkey from Safeway. I had no idea what to look for. I had 2 turkeys...

Genetics research in Narcolepsy is far from complete. They still don't really know what causes it and not everyone with Narcolepsy has the first gene they found. They've since found a couple more, but the research is still pretty new so I don't know if you could get tested for it yet. However...

I have Narcolepsy and have to avoid gluten and a few other foods to feel well. If I eat properly, I don't have many symptoms, although I still have some daily fatigue and I have Cataplexy if I'm laughing at a funny movie or something. But for the most part I feel alert and can think and I don't...
