Hunger has returned after three months gluten free

I have always been overweight, although I am not a big eater. I thought I had a slow metabolism or hypothyroid, although it checked out OK. After three months of going gluten free (non celiac gluten sensitivity), suddenly I  have the appetite of my teenage son! I Also, my normal intolerance to cold is disappearing, and I am getting occasional hot flashes! Kind of like him-he never wears a coat!  I am worried about gaining more weight so I have to keep  the calories  in check and watch what I eat. Is there a recognised medical reason for this? I dont think I was ever undernourished. Is it possible my metabolism, thanks to my thyroid and other organs healing, is returning to normal?

My appetite became pretty big after a couple of months too. I'm afraid I'm not sure why. I enjoyed it as much as I could though.  ;)

I'm only a week in on gluten free. I was diagnosed with celiacs disease a week ago. I'm finding it's pretty serious, too. I'm a bigger woman but since I've went gluten-free I don't crave anything or get hungry and when I do eat, I get full quick. I'm confused but enjoying the lessened calories! I also found out I have sluggish thyroid. I'm about 4 days in on the meds for that.

Welcome to the forum, Mrs. Morgan!  

Please read our "Newbie 101" thread pinned at the top of the "Coping" section of the forum.  It contains lots of great tips on avoiding gluten and places where it could hide.  Cross contamination (like sharing a toaster) are big issues for us.  

The good news is that your health is going to improve!  

Be sure to have your thyroid checked every six weeks to see how the medication is being absorbed.  It takes that long for the body to adjust thyroid medication (replacement).  Your thyroid could even improve on the gluten free diet.  Let's hope!

Thank you! It's all a little overwhelming but I'm also hoping for improvements. :)

      celiac disease and braces

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now. Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
