Not Sleeping

Not because I can't sleep or am not tired, but because I wake up really hungry or my blood sugar crashes. I haven't gotten more than 2-4 hours of sleep a night in the past 4-5 nights. Anyone have any idea of how I can make it through the night?? I've missed 2 out of the first 3 days of my new job (I'm sure they're loving me already).

Could you eat protein just before going to bed?It is a food that stays with you longer, also calcium helps you sleep so maybe you will not wake till later. If you have gone gluten free recently that will make sleep come a bit harder and also you may be hypoglycemic and need to eat more often during waking hours too. Hope this helps you.. :) evie

I eat a lot of meat during the day, plus I've started drinking high protein Ensure diluted with milk. I drank that before I went to bed but still woke up a couple of times during the night starving and then early in the morning with the blood sugar crash. Technically, I'm not hypoglycemic, as my meter readings are "normal" but I do get symptoms and have for the last year or so. My doctors can't explain that one either. I am recently gluten-free, though...about 2.5 weeks.

What else would I cut out? If anything, I think cutting things out would make it worse?

I'm trying to do the same, even down to making my own bread. But it seems like my body is just sucking up whatever I eat, so during the night I wake up hungry or my blood sugar crashes. Other than that, I'd have no problem sleeping.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By eKatherine · Posted

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Liamclarke · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac and basically had stunted growth because my body wasn’t taking In nutrients which may explain the weight loss I would take this seriously and get tested
