Sleeping Problems
My husband is also an O but doesn’t want to follow the diet as religiously as I
am. He regularly cheats on wheat and dairy. He has been suffering with
sleeping problems as long as I can remember. Sometimes it is worse than other
times. The strongest sleeping aid available doesn’t even make him sleep
through. It is as if he has a resistance to any medication. What can we do to
alleviate this. It is driving both of us crazy!

Funny you mention this. I did an involuntary experiment last week. I
have been taking 50 mg 5-HTP, some flax seed oil and Valerian root
about an hour before bedtime. I’ve been sleeping very well, after
protein dinners. One day last week, I didn’t eat very much protein,
and had a sweet potatoe for dinner. Maybe some Terra chips as a
snack. I woke up in the middle of the night! Weird. I hadn’t done
that in awhile. So, for me, protein for dinner works best. Maybe a
little carbs with or after, but definitely meat or fish for dinner.
