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)

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick.

I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
