Once your nighttime sleep is good, the daytime drowsiness might lessen some. I must rely on sleep aids, both over the counter and prescription.otherwise, I never reach stage 4 sleep and bounce from stage 3 to stage 1 approximately every 20 minutes, which is NOT conducive to feeling rested. I'm afraid I have no solutions to offer on the fatigue other than to have a sleep study done to see if there is room for improvement in your nighttime sleep. I think if I eat one more plain broiled chicken breast I will gag. I have both celiac and gastroparesis, so in addition to no gluten, I also have to avoid sugar, fatty food, fried food, chocolate, caffeine, carbonation and citrus juice. I can't blame my problems on the typical American diet, either. I fall asleep at church and at work, even if I've had 10 hours of sleep the night before. My doctors are stumped as to how to fight this horrible fatigue. I already have plenty of problems both with fatigue and with not getting good sleep due to fibromyalgia and Sjogren's. This is a very interesting topic.I had no idea celiac disease could contribute to sleep problems. If I was a researcher, I would do a study.ĭoes anyone know how to get a study done on this topic? I know the medication companies wouldn't like it, as they would loose millions on Provigil, the drug they are currently toting as the best bet for narcolepsy. The message boards for narcolepsy are filled with discouragement and despair, as people try to battle the disease that has no cure as of yet. ![]() ![]() The medical community is currently medicating narcoleptics with some pretty strong stuff (which I stopped, because of the bad side effects) If someone could prove a connection between the two, a gluten free diet could be LIFE-CHANGING for narcoleptics. This is so exciting to me!!! I have been recently been diagnosed with narcolepsy, (the symptoms of which are: excessive daytime sleepiness, audio/visual hallucinations, entering REM sleep within 3 minutes of falling sleep, instead of the normal 45 minutes) I have heard a tiny bit online of a possible connection between that disorder and celiac, and it seems I am finding more evidence!ĭo any more of you with Celiac Disease have the above symptoms? Thanks in advance for any input or advice. Hopefully getting my body in shape will help with my fatigue. This semester I'm taking a jogging class to help get me back into shape since I havent done any sort of physical activity since sophmore year of high school. It's not only extremely annoying and frustrating, but embarassing at times too. My friends started to call me Grandpa Simpson. I was dozing off on trains and in the classroom. I first noticed my excessive sleepiness when I was in Japan for a two week exchange program with my school. ![]() I was wondering if anyone else has had this same type of thing with them and what they do or have done to make it better (preferably go away completely). ![]() I don't have a job because pretty much everyday I have to take a nap just to make it through. I have trouble staying awake in class a lot of the time and I can't help it. It really interferes with work and school. My biggest and worst symptom is that I get fatigued to the where I can't stay awake.
