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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
