Hungry Feeling Causes Pain?

Ok I generally don't go without snacking due to my hypoglycemia. But this morning I was in a rush to get my DH to the doctor and I didn't have my snack. I went from 7:00 till 12:30 without eating. My bloodsugar did fine, but my tummy started aching really bad. And now, even though I have eaten, it is still causing me major pains. (comparable to when I have gluten)

Does this happen to anyone else? I mean, if the stomach is empty, why the pain?

Could it be the acid in your stomach wanting something to attack? ;) I get GERD (the causes I'm sure now being celiac disease and other intolerances) and often if when I get hungry, I get a really sore gnawing pain in my stomach. I'm guessing that as you usually snack well, it won't happen again.

I have definitly noticed a STRONG link between having an empty stomach and celiac symptoms. My stomach hurts when it gets too empty and then I eat, and it hurts even worse. My guess, though this is just a guess, about what happens to me sometimes is that when I have an empty stomach, if I get some cross contamination (and I eat in a college dining hall, so I am very exposed) it just effects me MUCH MORE than usual...

Other than this, I don't really understand, but I DEFINITLY experience something similar So I really try not to miss meals.

does this ring any bells?

I have something similar, I think. I'll not be sure if something is bothering me or whether it's just extreme hunger. It's like my hunger signals are messed up. And I'll feel really awful, and not know whether or not to eat, whether that will make me feel worse or better. And sometimes I feel kind of sick and don't really feel like eating anyway, though I know I should. Strange.

I get uncomfortable if I don't have something after about 3 hours. Much longer than that, I begin to feel a little queasy, with some painful stomach gurgling.

I always attributed it to the hypoglycemia, unless I've had a glass-in-the-stomach pain attack, then I blame that.

That is EXACTLY what happens to me! I mean EXACTLY! It isn't my hypoglyecmia, that cause me to get the shakes, sweaty and uncontrolable. This is horrible GAS TYPE pain to my stomach and same as you, when I initially eat, it gets much worse!

I am glad it is NOT just me!

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
