Dreaming About Eating Bread?

About once a week, I dream about eating a piece of bread, or a slice of pizza. In the last dream I had, I was eating gluten, and thinking to myself everything that I would need to do to feel better the next day. Then I started listing everything: camomile tea, ginger ale, noodle soup, immodium, etc.

Anyone else have dreams about eating gluten foods?

I haven't yet, but I won't be surprised if I do. (I've only been at this about a month.) When I was in high school and college, I was extremely restrictive with my food intake, to the point of being really unhealthy about it. I had so many dreams about about eating something like a bagel or crackers -- things I wouldn't let myself have -- and being horrified with myself. I'm trying really hard just to keep mentally upbeat about about my dietary restrictions now, and not focus on it too much, beyond what it takes to make sure I eat right. I think that for me at least, it was the obsessive thinking while I was awake that made me dream about eating the "wrong" things.

Yes I have had dreams about eating gluten-filled foods and then freak out :) Ah, the life of a Celiac.

I've had some dreams about eating gluten. In one of my dreams I took a bite out of a cookie and then I spat it out right away. I got really upset in my dream, since I thought that I was going to get really sick. When I woke up, I was really glad!

I don't recall dreaming about eating gluten. Then I read these posts 2 days ago. I had a dream last night where I ate 4 1/2 slices of bread. I say 4 and 1/2 because I woke up in the middle of the last slice. This is probably the strangest thing that has happened to me nine months into the diet. The only other thing that I did was lick an envelope (not in a dream) and then run to the sink and start spitting. Nothing happened except I felt kind of foolish.

I dream about eating bread too, similar to Carriefaith. I dream that I am going to get really sick then I get so mad at myself for eating it.

I dream that I forget, and am eating something gluteny, then remember part way through and get all upset.

I also had a dream a few months ago where I was being chased by gigantic monster baked goods, slavering fangs and all. That was weird.

it's funny but it's not. my dreams were always about chocolate cake. it was so good but i knew i was going to be sick so i couldn't really enjoy it. it tured into kind of nightmare and theni would wake up with relief that it was just a dream.

I have these dreams once a week or more. Occasionally, I figure out that I am dreaming and just enjoy it.

The slavering monster in my dreams is is my mother-in-law. She is convinced that my problem is all in my head and that I was never sick (no, I did not advertise my symptoms to my friends of their families). I dream that she tells me something is gluten-free, then, after I eat it, she says "HA! That had wheat in it, and you don't look sick to me!" I then immediately either vomit on her or wake up. It's almost as weird as your dream :)

Well, there was that one about the giant spider made of cake... Non-gluten-free, of course. For some reason it looked like a spider Ursula. But I have WIERD dreams.

All the time. And I'm not the one with gluten issues. My daughter is. But we both have additional food allergies. I frequently dream about eating something I am allergic to or finding my daughter or myself just about to eat it. Sometimes I even wake myself up, screaming, "No! There's wheat in that!!!"

I've only been gluten free for a month now, but twice I've had nightmares about having accidentally glutened myself. In the first, I had put crackers in my soup, in the second, I ate a piece of cake at a party.

Just last week I did. Actually it was only about 2 years ago I started remembering having dreams but anyway. The only part of the dream I had that I remembered was taking 2 bites out of this roll, and the woman who I had dated six years prior said something and I woke up. I didn't sleep the rest of the night because it was like the ultimate freakin nightmare of years prior. Even the next day I was asking myself if I did and waiting for it to come.

There was only a few times I recall having those dreams, so I hope it and that feeling fade away, far far away.

I've been on a diet for over three years now and starting to forget about all the things I went through. I hope things work out for you. frank

I do that too!!!! I hate it, because you freak out in the dream that you're gonna feel so crappy. And to top it off, this past weekend we thought I might have taken a bite of something supiscious, so we're a bit nervous right now, although I don't feel glutened, so I guess it's ok. But for the past two nights my boyfriend has had horrible dreams of my getting glutened and dying on him.... And he has these fits in his sleep, it's awful.

I had a dream, right after I went gluten-free, that I ate a cookie. I was like, "just one can't hurt... ;) " and I ate it, and it was delicious. I didn't really feel bad after I woke up because it was a good cookie.

I used to wake up with my heart racing, sweaty palms because I was dreaming that I ate gluten and was terrified of becoming more ill.

They lasted for months, but they seem to have let up.

(I was diagnosed June 2007)

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
