Being Too Hungry = Low Blood Sugar?

By hungry, I don't mean your stomach feeling hungry.. but like just a really strong urge, feeling, something.. to eat!! Like feeling it in all your being. Maybe could call it feeling ravenous if that's the word I'm thinking of, LOL.. I dunno.

But I've been feeling this way this all week, later in the day. So been eating more than usual! And the only change I've made in my diet, is a lack of any sugary candy like skittles or starburst.

So would the lack of candy now, be causing my blood sugar to be lower, and causing this feeling I described poorly?

Another example, Friday.. my stomach was actually feeling full from eating, well a bit too full.. and I was still feeling this annoying need to eat!

Some info to help: Been gluten and casein free for over 60 days now. (Go me!) No signs of damage to small intestines from endoscopy and enterolab testing. And despite eating more, think I've lost 2 pounds.. at least 1 (yay!).. despite being a bit underweight as is, LOL.

On a side note, lost about 13 pounds since going Gluten-free Casein-free, looking at myself.. and my tummy (GRRR GO AWAY DARN YOU!!).. where am I losing weight from?? BMI is only 20.1 though, so not underweight at least.

On another side note.. carving the sliced ham I bought yesterday, lol.. though been 5 hours since breakfast, hehe.

Anyway, back on point.. think it could be low blood sugar, or something else? Open to theories or ideas to explore! =)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
