Celiac disease-related insomnia responds to gluten free diet that supplies the nutrients that are needed for normal sleep.<\/p>\n<h2>6 Steps To Improve Insomnia In Celiac Disease and\/or Gluten Sensitivity:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"cp_check green\">\n<li><em><span style=\"color: #800000\"><span class=\"dropcap\"><strong>1<\/strong><\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #800000\">Remove the Trigger.

This condition responds to the complete elimination of gluten, which is the required treatment that improves both insomnia and gut health.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Gut health is the foundation to restore ALL health. Restored health will enable you to maintain a strict gluten free diet, just as other life tasks will be easier.<\/li>\n<li>A strict gluten free diet means removing 100% of wheat, barley, rye and oats from the diet.<\/li>\n<li>Cutting out bread and other obvious sources of gluten is not good enough for recovery. Even 1\/8th teaspoon of flour or bread crumb is enough to sustain the inflammation that is damaging your small intestine, causing increased permeability (leaky gut) and allowing undigested gluten to enter your body where it can damage structures and function, and instigate immune inflammatory responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Correct Your Individual Nutritional Needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Eat foods that can replenish missing nutrients. Find them under\u00a0NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES.<\/li>\n<li>Take nutritional supplements as needed.\u00a0Find them under\u00a0NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Recovery<\/strong>. You should begin to feel better within a week and notice more energy as inflammation subsides and the \u00a0absorbing cells that make up the surface lining of your small intestine are better able to function.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\">\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Intestinal lining cells are replaced every 5 days. The healing process is like sunburn where the damaged surface layer of skin sloughs off and is replaced with new normal cells.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Leaky gut normally resolves in two month after starting a gluten free diet and brings about a big improvement in health. Improvement in intestinal permeability precedes morphometric recovery (cell appearance and structure) of the small intestine in celiac disease.<a href=\"#footnote_6_720\" id=\"identifier_7_720\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Cummins AG, Thompson FM, Butler RN, et al.

About\u00a0B Vitamin supplements: \u00a0some labeling can be confusing, for example, &#8220;B 100&#8221; does not mean 100%. If the ingredient list shows\u00a0\u00a0an excessive amount like\u00a03000% or more, look for another brand because this excessive amount will cause the loss of mineral in the urine.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Calcium citrate is the best absorbed of calcium supplements. Calcium carbonate is a poor choice.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Vitamin D3 as prescribed following blood test for status.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Chelated magnesium\u00a0\u00a0as prescribed but do not take at same time as calcium because they compete for absorption.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Fish oil to supply omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Other nutrients that are deficient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Storage Note<\/strong>:\u00a0<em>Store container tightly sealed, away from heat, moisture and direct light to avoid loss of potency.

Nutrients that were associated independently with sleep maintenance difficulties included: salt, butanoic acid, carbohydrate, dodecanoic acid, vitamin D, lycopene, hexanoic acid and moisture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nutrients that were associated independently with non-restorative sleep included butanoic acid, calcium, vitamin C, water, moisture and cholesterol. Nutrients that were associated independently with sleepiness included: moisture, theobromine, potassium, and water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Data from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used (n = 4552) to determine which nutrients were symptoms in a nationally representative sample. Survey items assessed difficulty falling asleep, sleep maintenance difficulties, non-restorative sleep and daytime sleepiness. Analyses were adjusted for energy intake, other dietary factors, exercise, body mass index (BMI) and sociodemographics. Population-weighted, logistic regression, with backwards-stepwise selection, examined which nutrients were associated with sleep symptoms.<a href=\"#footnote_1_720\" id=\"identifier_14_720\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Grandner MA, Jackson N, Gerstner JR, Knutson KL.

Sleep disorders are related to depression, anxiety and fatigue, and inversely related to quality of life scale scores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The participants were celiacs at diagnosis; celiacs on a gluten-free diet at follow-up and healthy volunteers. Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), SF36, Zung and Fatigue scales and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">RESULTS: The PSQI score was higher in celiacs at diagnosis and in a gluten-free diet than in healthy volunteers (P &lt; 0.001). A gluten-free diet did not improve the PSQI score (P = 0.245) in celiac disease. The other test scores were similar between celiacs at diagnosis and those on a gluten-free diet, whereas significant differences were found between celiacs and volunteers. PSQI score was inversely associated with the quality of the physical and mental component scores. The sleep quality scores were related to depression, fatigue, state anxiety and trait anxiety.<a href=\"#footnote_8_720\" id=\"identifier_15_720\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Zingone F, Siniscalchi M, Capone P, Tortora R, Andreozzi P, Capone E, Ciacci C.
