The first symptoms I had of coeliac disease were migraines. I think your doctor needs to test you for coeliac disease. The fact you are having migraines at night is interesting, but I never used to drink enough and my headaches were worse when I woke up in the morning. Dehydration was also a big cause for me. -

I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different... -

Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free... -

Gluten 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. 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. -
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?

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.
