Yeah, I just had beef for lunch. I haven't really eaten very much red meat in the last several years, but I haven't actually eaten beef in at least 3-4 years. I don't like it. For some reason I saw beef taquitos at the store and I HAD TO HAVE THEM. They were so good. I take iron supplements and I've been anemic for a few years, and I've still never ever had the urge to eat beef (or any red meat other than bacon/prosciutto for flavoring). What the heck is happening to me?

Kelloggs Rice Krispies have barley malt or something like that. :( I finally found that Erewhon stuff that's gluten-free, though.

I've been buying the rice crispies that have a Koala on them and I make my own rice crispie trats from them.....I always liked them though!!!!!!!

I have noticed that I am always hungry now. Used too, I never felt hungry at all. I chalk it up to healing!!!

I ask my husband all the time, "So this is what it's like to be hungry, I had forgotten the feeling."

I guess it's normal for us to start actually being hungry and having cravings, as our stomachs and intestines finally start to heal!

if it's the fruit gushers by Betty Crocker, then yes, they are gluten free, but always read the label, they are a General Mills food and GM will not hide gluten in their labels.

I get Erewhon rice crispies (make sure you get the box that says gluten free) and make my own rice crispies.

Oh yeah, Envirokids? They make "rice krispie treats" already in bar form. They are pretty good. I'm been on a mad quest to get gluten-free rice krispie treats ever since going gluten free.

I'm doing the same thing. Iwent gluten-free about 2 months ago. I am hungry all the time. I seem to snack alot. But before I went gluten-free I was never hungry. I also lost weight. I was told it is kind of the Palm Beach diet effect. It should level out. I go through stages of starving, then days when I don't really want anything. I guess it all levels out in the end.

Try making rice krispy treats out of cocoa pebbles or fruity pebbles -- both are gluten-free !

The Kellogs brand has gluten. Don't know about gushers.

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      It seems the "fad" diet is working for you.

      Upset stomach

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Vicky'  If you are hesitant to visit your medical provider and if this discomfort persists you may choose to do that. I do have some suggestions and how ai have delt with digestive problems not caused by gluten but likely a result of having the autoimmune reaction in my small intestine for all the years before going gluten free. Before I stopped eating gluten I had a leaky gut. The gluten inflammatory reaction let other food molecules get just far enough into the wall of the small intestine to be recognized as invaders so I began reacting to them at a very low level, not very noticeable.  When you eat a meal it goes into the stomach and is liquified in a highly acid environment. This may take up to 2 hours. This acidic fluid is then  released into the beginning of the small intestine where, as it is released, bile is squirted into it . The bile is very alkaline so it neutralized the acid.  Without that bile being available the liquid that is released from the stomach may remail too acid and cause discomfort. Many people use antacids to stop the burning but I don't do that because it did not get at the real cause. \\I wrote that I had developed other food intolerances or allergies that weren't noticeable when I was eating gluten foods. Except for hot peppers and all of the nightshade family.  I have mild reaction to other foods. Those reactions cause enough inflammation in my digestive system that impeded food from passing down the small intestine so that when the food was released from the stomach it had no place to go because the small intestine was still having difficulty pushing it along. When the stomach can't release the acid liquidified food down it tends to be forced up resulting in acid reflux.  I learned to do gentle massages of my abdomen and over the last 18 years eliminated many foods from my diet. What I did not realize, although many celias have reported this, is that once a person reacts to a food even tiny amounts of the food I have eliminated, will cause inflammation in my stomach and upper intestine I was getting these very small amount of reaction causing foods in supplements, by cross contamination  . Now if soy or corn, to name just 2, is on a label I don't buy it. Another suggestion is to drink enough water to keep yourself hylrated. That information is available online and depends on you height and weight. I am not a medical practitioner so what I wrote is only from my own experience and what I think about the causes of some of my digestive problems.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Stephanie Wakeman, Get your vitamind D blood level checked and supplement to raise to around 80 ng/dl or 200 nmol/L.  This is the natural upper limit and provides the best immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system, and low levels may impair the immune system's ability to control allergic responses.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to an increased risk of developing allergies and experiencing more severe allergic reactions.  Vitamin D is one of many vitamin deficiencies caused by small intestine damage so unless you get enough sunlight or taking large doses of vitamin D, you will be deficient.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m frustrated with celiac disease and my current gastroenterologist (GI). I’ve been gluten free for almost 13 years, with normal antibodies for almost 8 years - except for one excursion of my DGP IgA 5 years ago which returned to normal when I changed brands of gluten free flour. All 4 celiac antibodies were positive 13 years ago but I didn’t have an endoscopy for reasons unrelated to celiac disease.  I did have one 9 years ago. The DGP IgA was still slightly elevated, GI saw some blunted villi visually, biopsy showed “patchy mild increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes” and “focal mild villous blunting” (Marsh 3A). For the past few years I’ve had intermittent trouble with nausea and stomach pain so my current GI suggested doing a repeat endoscopy. He saw nothing visually, but biopsy showed “focal mild intraepithelial lymphocytosis” and “minimal focal villous blunting”.  All I got was a letter from the GI and his nurse that said there were mild changes consistent with celiac disease. I sent a message to the doctor asking where I go from here but just got an answer from a nurse saying it is better, less damage than 2016 so keep following the gluten free diet. So focal is better than patchy for increased lymphocytes and minimal focal is better than focal mild villi blunting? I feel this biopsy result after 13 years deserves some discussion, but this doctor never answers messages, his nurses just give out canned responses, it takes 6 months to get an appointment, and his only suggestion for nausea and pain was more soluble fiber. I’ve read that adults may not heal completely on a gluten free diet but with normal antibodies for years I was not expecting this result. I have made an appointment with a different GI who hopefully is more communicative. Rant over. Thanks for reading.

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy as a child in the early 1960s, . which I inherited from my father's DNA. My mom tried the best she could with both of us, but in those times health and allergies were kind of brushed aside.  I grew out of it, or so we thought, but the rashes reared their ugly heads while I was in college. Keg parties (wheat & gluten in beer and youthful reckess eating led to an outbreak. To the point, I am a 65 year old and now living with full blown celiac with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters that are just beginning to receed after being gluten-free for over 2 years at least. The lesions are so unsightly that I need to stay covered. Ive been living in South Florida and would love to wear shorts but people see the sores and thing I am a leper. Ive lost a lot of weigh from  stomach cramps and frequent bowel movements. Will this ever end!
