Craving What Hurts You?

I am curious as I have done a lot of reading on allergies and such and there is a lot of controversy that people crave foods that actually harms them. For instance, a person who loves milk and dairy and can not get enough of it may have a hidden allergy to it. The same may apply for gluten and I was wondering if anyone has found this to be the case for them?

My 4 year old LOVES bread, crackers, and such. If I take a look at what he seems to crave it is all likely to contain gluten.

Just one of those really curious questions.

Yep. I don't scientifically understand why that happens, but I used to be a bread addict. It was all I ever wanted to eat. I had really intense cravings for dairy too. Now that all that stuff is out of my system though, I don't crave it at all.

Yes, I believe this to be true. The things I crave most are German rye bread, tomatoes, juice, ice cream and potatoes.

When eating some rye bread I finally connected the dots last October. Within half an hour of eating it, I was doubled over with severe stomach cramps, and soon explosive diarrhea. I react very badly to gluten, obviously!

My favourite food all my life was potatoes. It causes me gastrointestinal problems similar to being glutened, with the addition of burning bms.

I used to eat tomatoes several times a day all summer long. I also had migraines especially during the summer, which would last up to three weeks and were terribly debilitating. When I stopped eating tomatoes, the migraines stopped, and are rare now (and never last longer than a day or two).

Juice makes me have symptoms of bladder infection and aching muscles, ice cream gives me terrible gas and bloating, plus brain fog.

So, all my favourite foods are definitely a terrible idea!

A few years ago In November/December i got to where nothing I ate Stayed where it should so I just ate pretzels(not gluten-free). In Jan. I had my capsule endoscopy and they found what they called AVM"s of the small intestine. I now believe it was the fact I soon after found out I had celiac and the pratzels helped contribute to me being so sick.

I know that I craved potatoes all the time, and am intolerant to them. After a while, I stopped wanting them. (Thank goodness for sweet potatoes, of the marigold family -- they make good fries!)

We are all different, and since being gluten free, I have not craved bread or gluteny things. I have never really been a bread person, but I did eat it, as that is what everybody ate.

What I missed the most was being able to just grab anything off the shelf without thinking. But I hve got over that, and it is not a problem now.

Thought I would crave what I couldn't eat as I am an ex smoker and thought I had an addictive personality.

I really like the diet now, plenty of fruit, veges and meat, with rice and allowable grains. It agrees with me, I never feel starved anymore, and have managed to put on no weight since, which is encouraging, as I would like to loose another two stone at least.

Me too - never could get enough potatoes. Worried if I went out of the country, they might not have any. Late night snacks I craved was popcorn or Tostitos. The healing diet I am on says no nightplants, corn,etc. I really miss popcorn. Never was a bread fan. One bite of rye and instant headache. LindaLee

My evil craving was macaroni and cheese. I ate it almost every day. The last time I did it made me have a panic attack and a migraine that lasted almost 5 days! I still miss it, though.

I used to crave anything that was breaded. I know longer really crave it, but I sure would like to go to PF Changs and order every gluten filled appetiser that they make. I love the lettuce wraps, but would rather order those appetisers :blink:

I swear, I kept KRAFT in business when I was a kid. As an adult I switched over to Annies - but I just craved and craved and craved. Quitting diary put an end to that. Boo hoo. What is it about mac & cheese anyway.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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.

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
