My appetite has been crazy lately I can eat then an hr later I'm hungry again.. that's all fine I guess but I find myself eating more then usual is this common with celiac?

That is not uncommon when we first go gluten free. Your body is craving nutrients so be sure to eat a lot of good whole foods. If you haven't already you may want delete or strongly limit dairy for a month or two. That may help the bloating. Hope you heal quickly.

Yep, I eat very high fiber and protein to help will fullness....also sip on a protein shake all day to keep the cravings down and my weight up. Digestive enzymes, probiotics, multivitamins, will all help with the gas/bloating and sense of fullness.

I am also finding the same problem!

I have only been gluten-free for 6 weeks, however for pretty much my whole life I have always had a big appetite and eaten way more than normal for my size. A former boss used to say I eat like a truck driver - I  was always hungry and would stuff my face but managed to stay slim - I always put it down to high metabolism, now I know that isn't the reason why .... ?

I think I am feeling even more hungry now I have gone gluten free, its really frustrating as i never know how much food to cook or take with me to work for lunch. I eat a large portion and an hour later I am hungry again. I assumed the hunger pangs would go but I guess it is going to take some time...

Ennis - which enzymes and probiotics would you recommend? I have been taking iron supplement (in liquid form) for energy as I don't eat meat (not noticed any difference), and just started on magnesium with zinc as I heard this is supposed to help other nutrients absorb and may also help with energy. 

Also, do you eat high fibre & protein for all your meals? What about carbs? I have given up dairy for now and eating mostly unprocessed whole foods so hoping this will help.

I do not really eat carbs, I am on a ketogenic/paleo diet. I also hardly eat meat as I can not digest it. I have scoops of vegan protein powders through out the day, different brands and blend to get a complete blend. I eat a whole bunch of nuts, seeds, and smaller amounts of leafy greens, and low carb vegetables. I also consume massive amounts of egg whites. NOTE if your not eating meats Nutritional Yeast like the one by KAL can be great for getting in many nutrients, I even make vegan cheese sauces with it and slather that stuff on alot of my meals. I even eat breads made of nut meals, and vegan cheeses loaded with fats. You will find a very high fat, protein, fiber diet keeps you full longer and with less bloat then eating carbs. At least for me it works great this way. I supplement vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium, and various B vitamins. Should I give you a break down of today's meals as to a idea?

Breakfast

10 egg whites with 2 heaping tbsp of nutritional yeast and some almond milk, and coconut yogurt whipped in scrambled with sauteed mushrooms and fronteria barbacoa sauce seasoned jackfruit served topped with a bit of my homemade salsa and shredded lettuce. 1 of my homemade Vegan Cheesy garlic rolls, 2 pieces of Julian bakery toast with almond butter, hemp seeds, and smuckers sugar free strawberry jello.    

Mid morning snack 1oz of hemp seeds and

Lunch   Porridge made with almond milk, almond butter, hemp seed protein powder, konjac flour to thicken it 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 scoop hemp powder, and used pralines and cream extract and some of that strawberry sugar free jam in it,  Then had a slice of julian bakery toasted bread with julian bakery mozzarella melted over steamed Brussels sprouts and a bit of my vegan hemp Parmesan. 

Mid afternoon snack was a few hand full of almonds.

Dinner was 2 1/2 cups of my own homemade vegan icecream of almond milk, almond butter, coconut flour, coconut yogurt, stevia, monk fruit extract, butter rum extract and banana flavoring 3 scoops of protein powder, topped with cocoa nibs    and a side of that toast again with 1 egg whites, slices of avocado and sauteed mushrooms.

NOTE I eat a bit extreme like a body builder and tend to pace/walk about 12 miles a day average along with work out with weights.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
