swedie101 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I didn't follow the re-intro to the t because of a birthday celebration and am now trying to decide if I want to do another whole 30 wth proper introduction. Last night, because I hadn't had one since December and I wanted to be "bad" since I was so good with the whole30( I know very silly logic since I learned so much about food and my relationship with food for the whole30) I got a menchies frozen yogurt with a few toppings. This was one of the worst decisions I've made in a long time. Diarhea,cramping,general unwellness, gas, extreme nausea, and I still don't know if it's the lactose, gluten or both. This crazy because on the whole30 I only had gas a few times, compared to before where it was a multi hourly thing. Now I had to be so stubborn and self righteous because I didn't follow the reintro properly so I thought I could eat whatever I wanted.... Ahhh silly,stubborn Irish blood! The worst part is I used the sleep bad during the night, which I attributed to My crohns and pcos, but it got considerably better over the 30 days. I thought I was crazy a few times, there is no way that food alone can. Keep me up...is there? My question is I have been wide awake since 2:45. Am and can't get back to bed...is this just a coincidence or can eating what I did cause me to stay up all night ? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 sorry you are feeling poorly! Yes, a bad reaction to food can keep you up at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlaccini Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yep - Once you do a whole 30 - food becomes your #1 suspect. Everything else is just "stuff" Sugar is a terrible one for keeping me awake - even in fruit form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylily Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yes! For years, my nights looked like this: fall asleep exhausted at 10, wake up at 2am, be restless until 5am, fall asleep again, alarm goes off at 6am. I gave up gluten long before W30, and within days of giving up gluten, I started sleeping solid through the night. Not saying that gluten is the culprit for you, but yes, a single food thing can make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
