- trents commented on Debado's blog entry in Debado7Gluten migranes at night
What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous... -

Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles... -

Gluten migranes at night
How did your doctor arrive at the gluten intolerance diagnosis? You may want to consider finding a different doctor, one who is more familiar with Celiac disease. To be properly tested you will be asked to undergo a gluten challenge. I'm attaching an article below. Also consider getting a DNA test to look for the genes needed for Celiac disease... -

Guidance on next steps after the lab tests
@ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes? I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood. See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients, including vitamins... -

Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night? If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning, I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles. Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine. A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods. Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines. Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels. Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine. DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken. Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines. Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it? Happy Holidays! -

@ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes? I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood. See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency. Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency. Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days. Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels. Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production. -

Early on, DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.

What markers /genes are these DNA test?
