Does Anyone Else Have Cravings?

Protein cravings would be a terrific change for me as I really have no "appetite" for protein & have to consciously remind myself to include enough in my diet.

I ALWAYS crave avocados. Especially guacamole!

This latter issue is the one that worries me. Since going gluten-free, I find I'm craving AND eating even MORE starchy foods than I did in wheaty days. I'm not sure if it is some sort of subconscious attempt to re-gluten myself... none of these starches have gluten, but they are often things that would have had wheat in them before. I always liked starchy food, ate a lot of "healthy" grains, but a reasonable balance. Now I find I'm really going overboard, having a hard time stopping. I've been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now, & it doesn't seem to be stopping. Anyone else have this experience? Or have any insights about what's going on?

Leah

I found after going gluten-free that the more starchy stuff I ate, the more I wanted to eat it, especially the gluten-free packaged/processed stuff. What worked for me is making sure my meals were balanced with a small serving of starchy vegetable or whole grain (i.e. 1/2 c.), a palm sized portion of protein and vegetables, and a little fat. Eating this way normalized everything fo rme.

I crave hotdogs that have been grilled and slightly burned. I found the applegate hotdogs and they are great! However I found these gluten free buns and they were terrible :blink: So it sort of ruined the expirence for me. I just ate it plain. I don't miss bread so much as I miss the buns that were soft and pliable for hotdogs and brats. Oh and hamburger buns I miss to.

I ate very few carbs before going gluten-free, now they make up about 1/2 my diet - not good. Right after going gluten-free, I craved sweets but couldn't eat them due to the yeast and corn thing so I ate extra salt and extra potatoes. I am finally off the salt kick - luckily I have always had low blood pressure otherwise I might have gone a little bonkers.

Am I missing something in my diet? Since going gluten-free, I have been craving candy and chocolate, and never used to have a sweet tooth. I imagine my body is freaking about about the reduction in refined carbs in general, but oddly enough, I'm not craving bread, but gum drops and jelly beans and the like! This definitely doesn't do much for the waistline when I indulge! Ideas? I am not the BEST at maintaining a healthy diet, but what I might be missing in food intake I make up for with a daily multivitamin.

i crave so bad i almost think im pregnant ( that with the bloating gets you paranoid). usually its chocolate biscuits to dunk in my tea.

I such a major craving for pizza last week. Ugh! Getting glutened last week made me rethink eating a bite of it though. I don't want to do that again! I must find a good dough recipe.

Munchkinette - I tried this recipe last week and my family totally loved it. I found it in a different forum and I don't know who it originated with. It was really satisfying. The commentary isn't mine. I copied it along with the recipe. I did my own with 2 medium eggs at 400 for 20 min and I thought it was fine.

Pizza Crust

you take 3 cups cooked rice (1 cup dry), mix with 1 cup shredded cheddar and 1 (or 2) eggs, mush it out onto a pizza pan, make a lip around the edge to hold in the toppings and bake for 18-20 minutes (I think it was at 375 degress). Then add your toppings and bake or broil until your toppings are the way you like (I like the cheese to brown a little). I baked mine at 450 for 20 minutes before topping. Then 15 minutes after topping. It was still a little too soft in the middle, but absolutely delicious. This might work better in personal sized pizzas.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
