I'm having one of those days where I have an insatiable urge to snack.

Like, serious snacking. Like, go to the grocery store on the way to work to get *A* snack for the work day. I packed my lunch, too, with ample snacks.

My trek through HEB went like this (pretend you're reading my thoughts as I'm shopping)...

Walk in the door, ooooh, those blackberries look good! And they're on sale pick up the natural, healthy blackberries

,

walk down the cereal aisle, check the cocoa puffs box. It looks gluten-free, cool, I'll have to remember that. But some people are getting sick, so maybe not

On to the candy aisle, dammit, all the Lindt chocolate has malt in it, bastards. Oooh! When did HEB start selling endangered species chocolate? (Pick up a dark chocolate raspberry bar.) Wait a minute, I hate dark chocolate. Oh well, I'll get it anyway.

On to the refridgerated aisle I really want some kozy shack tapioca pudding. I didn't know they came in 6 packs! (pick up the 6 pack of pudding) (keep in mind, I'm on my way to work)

OK, I'm going to be late. On to the checkout, hold the phone! They added an organic section! AND THEY HAVE TONS OF ENER-G BREAD! Why isn't this in my HEB near home? I'll remember that, oooh, they have those sesame cruch thingys I like, and they're gluten-free! Awesome! (pick up the package of JoYva sesame crunch)

OK, really need to check out. The line is long, why do they only have two registers open, A kosher section and deli, are you kidding me? The Dell's must shop here, rich bastards. Wow, look at all this stuff! I don't have any more room in my hands.

I finally check out, the guy forgets to give me change, and I arrive to work 10 minutes late.

I'm snarfing the heck out of all of this food at my desk :P I never eat like this, WTF??!?!?!

the cocoa puffs are NOT gluten-free.

but I am LOL at "reading your mind" as you were shopping! I've done that! I have some days where all I wanna do is snack.

Like today... I've pigged out on jelly beans, cheetos, Enjoy Life snack bars, tater tots, banana chips... OMG... somebody STOP ME!

it must be in the air----i was eating dry cocoa pebbles out of a cup----would have had a candy bar if there was one in the house!!

how many of you get the munchies when your not even hungry? i HATE when that happens---which is much too often-----sometimes i chew ice--------so i can think i am eating without getting calories.

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
