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.

Gosh I don't know what it is. I got pains and horrible gas (both ways :o )

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?

Oh my god I get this so much! whenever I don't eat for over 2 hours I feel like I am going to throw up!

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!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
