Hunger

I lost my previous post.... Anyone have an explanation why I am só hungry before bedtime? I eat 3 good, nutritious and balanced meals, but starve later at night?

I nearly always get hungry right before bedtime as well. I think I've kind of gotten into a habit of snacking before bed so my body expects it. I've also found that eating a few Simple Mills gluten free almond crackers or something similar takes the edge off so I can sleep. But if I try to ignore the hunger I have a hard time getting to sleep.

Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins.

Fats take longer to digest compared to carbohydrates and proteins, which helps in maintaining a feeling of fullness for a longer period. Fats play a crucial role in the production of satiety hormones such as leptin, which signal to the brain that you are full. Fats provide a concentrated source of energy, meaning even small amounts can significantly contribute to the feeling of being satiated.

By incorporating these healthy fats into your diet, you can manage hunger more effectively, leading to better overall nutritional balance.

I think I have found a partial answer, too long to quote here. Polyphagia, depression, stress, loss of nutrients due to damaged villi. Tx all.
