We celiacs have so many food reactions, I'm wondering if we react more
strongly to various foods than others.  For a week now I've been noticing
that I'm so sleepy in the afternoon, I can't hold my eyes open no matter how
hard I try.  This is NOT my usual pattern.  I sleep very well at night &
wake up in morning refreshed, so I know I'm not suffering sleep deprivation.
  I've crashed into a deep, DEEP sleep for 2 to 3 hours almost every
afternoon.  At first, I thought I must have a "bug" or something.  Then I
noticed the pattern, the days I've crashed were after eating soup.  The soup
was made with the turkey broth I made from my Thanksgiving turkey bones!
I've heard that turkey meat could cause sleepiness, so I've avoided it for
lunch, but I didn't know that turkey bone broth contained enough tryptophan
to sedate me for a couple of hours!  Isn't that funny?  I learn something
new every day.

What I'm wondering is, if others have had similar experience with turkey
broth (or turkey meat) or if I'm especially sensitive to this.  Any
thoughts?
