Hi Wiix,

I am sorry your challenges continue.

Continue sticking with a regular sleeping schedule. If you don't absolutely have to get up at 4 am, don't. If you have to get up, make it brief, just long enough to take meds, if needed and a very quick bite to eat, if needed. Go back to bed and stay there, see if you fall back to sleep. Retrain your body to sleep through until a later hour.

mrsD had mentioned the possibility of low blood sugar awakening you at 4 am, in a different thread.

We've discussed maybe using a food diary for awhile.

We've discussed the possibility of anxiety and/or depression adding to your challenges. Are you being treated for anxiety/depression?

We've also discussed the chronic GI challenges.
Have you made an appointment with your doctor for an updated GI evaluation?

I hope you find helpful solutions soon.

I hope you can get out today and enjoy the weather.
Any parks around where you can enjoy nature?
