Just a further word on gluten/celiac headaches.  I have had severe headaches
and migraine for many years now.  I know that most of them are linked either
to gluten or any of the many food intolerances which plague me.  However, I
have been taking co-dydramol for headaches,  muscle and joint pain,
particularly at bedtime for many years, and always have severe headache and
feel toxic in the mornings.  I recently went gluten free and decided to stop
all painkillers because I wasn't sure of their GF status and was also
worried about being dependent on them.  I now realise that I was hooked, my
morning headaches probably were caused by them and sleep is impossible
without them.  I have now cut them out altogether and am begining to feel a
little better, but getting to sleep is a real problem!  I would like to warn
others - don't use codeine on a regular basis.  It is addictive and not
worth the hassle.  Now if only I had a good sleeping pill ..........
