Judy,
Thank you so much for posting this. I do not at all believe that food
allergies are always the cause, but I do

It  turned out so with both my daughters taking thyroid hormone
now, as does their dad who also has a very low basal temperature.
(This can be taken under the armpit before getting out of bed
in the am or by taking the temp of the first morning urine.)
He is a night person and late ariser as were both my daughters,
even as infants and young children.  It is possible they are
also on a 25 rather than 24 hour circadian rhythm. >>
