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!

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
