Is constant hunger a symptom of celiac??

[vehementyes]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with symptoms of extreme hunger for the past four months. No other symptoms or anything out of the ordinary. I’ve gotten tested for diabetes and thyroid issues 3 times, and everything came back normal. It’s not an issue with my diet either - I went to a nutritionist who even put me on a meal plan that did absolutely nothing. I recently had an endoscopy done, and they couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary (except for esophagitis). I’m getting blood work done to test for celiac in a couple days, but i was wondering if this sounds like celiac to anyone?

Part of the reason I suspect it might be is that the foods that make me feel the worst are gluten-foods. I can eat an entire bowl of pasta and feel HUNGRIER than before I ate it. However, just drinking a glass of almond milk will fill me up more than than giant bowl of pasta or a plate of breaded chicken .... it’s just so bizarre!! I definitely have some sort of malabsorption problem, but I just don’t know what. Does anyone have any insight on whether celiac is plausible here or if it sounds like something else?? Thank you!!

from what i understand (im not a doctor, or an expert, or a medical professional, just a person experiencing symptoms and searching relentlessly for answers) celiac can cause malabsorbtion and deficiencies. it makes sense to me that the body might crave what its missing, causing you hunger problems. also, i understand that celiac has MANY symptoms, and can be strange and hard to pinpoint because of this. 

all i can tell you from experience is to make sure and see a GI doctor and follow their instructions. if you suspect celiac then do not stop eating gluten until the doctor tells you to. you need to be on gluten for them to accurately test for and diagnose celiac disease.

good luck and i wish you all the best
