Do you have Celiac Disease and find you have trouble sleeping? There are a large number of Celiacs who have reported having sleeping problems, including both sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. Recently Sure Foods Living wrote a post featuring a couple stories of people who suffer from celiac disease and also have sleep disturbances.
Alison shares her story:
I used to be a restless sleeper. I moved around a lot throughout the night. I had too-vivid dreams. I did this strange thing where I would rub my feet together in a certain way before I could settle down to sleep. I had leg cramps. I also had tingling and shooting pain at times in my toes and legs. Sometimes I was nauseous during the night. I was often congested. I snored (attractive, no?). I even had sleep paralysis a couple of times — if you have never experienced this, it is an awful state in which your mind wakes before your body and you are unable to move although you are awake. I actually didn’t even remember this until I began reading about other people’s sleep problems as related to gluten and found a number of people who suffered from sleep paralysis until going gluten-free. Amazing. And my sleep since being gluten-free? I sleep calmly. I hardly move. I can breathe!
