My husband told me I have stopped snoring since I've been gluten free... Of course I told him..

"Your Crazy, I never snore." But between you and me.. it is a strange coincidences. :unsure:

I hope my hubby will also stop snoring after abstaining from dairy for awhile. Abstaining from gluten relieved his arthritis pain, but did zip for his snoring. After he showed positive reactions to dairy on the ELISA test, he cut out all dairy. I always got sinus congestion symptoms before I abstained from dairy 3 years ago. So I anticipate the day (night :lol: ) his sinus congestion disappears and he no longer snores. ;)

I doubt that I have completely stopped snoring since going gluten-free, but I know that I snore much less, and not as loudly as before. My snoring used to wake my husband often, and he frequently complained that he couldn't get a decent nights sleep because of my snoring. I haven't heard a single complaint since going gluten free last October!

It makes sense to me because I had terrible sinus problems, frequent respiratory ailments, and constant allergies. My sinuses have gradually healed, I haven't had a single cold or anything else, and my allergies are the mildest they have been in more than 30 years. Breathing easier surely accounts for the huge reduction in snoring, at least in my case.

Same story for my duaghter who is 40. She started feeling really run down last fall and since she was quite a snorer, the doctor put her through the sleep test for apnea; which she passed with flying colors. As testing for her exhaustion continued, she suggested a celiac blood test because her dad has it. (even though she had tested negative 3 years ago) This time she came back 'off the charts' positive for celiac. She started the gluten free diet immediately and had absolutely amazing results in a little over a week. Funny thing.....her snoring has completely stopped; and it was so bad before going gluten free that her husband couldn't sleep with her.

Her experience has caused me to encourage the rest of our family to get tested for celiac periodically rather than assume that one negative test means they are home free.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
