Serious Salty Junk Food Craving


Guest cassidy

Recommended Posts

Guest cassidy

I'm pregant and I have been eating very healthy but I want Taco Bell, or Domino's - something really bad that tastes good so badly that I can't take it anymore. I won't cheat but I want to find a gluten-free treat that will do the trick.

Here are the requirements - can't be produced in the same place as gluten, yes I'm that sensitive and won't risk cc. I don't like meat and I can't have tomatoes or potatoes. I love spicy but I can't tolerate any spices right now, not even black pepper so I have been eating tons of bland food. I'm definitely looking for salty and not sweet.

Any ideas?

Make some nachos with chopped olives, maybe some chopped red bell pepper.

Sweet potato chips and hummus.

mini pizzas on toasted bread.

I noticed you can't do spices. I couldn't either for awhile. Have you ever tried drying papaya seeds in the oven and grinding them up in a pepper grinder ? They taste a little like pepper, but are actually digestive enzymes ... just in case you want to try it . You heat them at 250 degrees for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, then let them cool and fnish drying out on a paper towel ..

I like apples, fuji or pink ladies, with salt to satisfy my salt cravings ... olives sound good too though ..

I am a sucker for salted chips and nuts. When I was pregnant it was chips with salsa!

Mission tortilla chips do it for me. Lundberg rice chips too. Homemade guacamole with lots of lime and a bit of salt works too. I also eat the Natural Ruffles or Lays brand potato chips, a little too much I"m sure. I'm not sure if they have CC issues though - I'm not that sensitive (yet).

Watermelon with salt is really good too. :)

And right now I'm munching on Kettle yogurt and green onion chips -- yum! (Gotta stop before I polish off the whole bag! LOL!)

I have found the Terra Chips to be very yummy, and not all of them are potato. They do a combonation of yucca, parsnip, taro etc. I am going to inquire on the gluten part though. I have taken it into my own hands to take items like taro root, parsnips yucca and slice them thin, spice em up, and bake them in the oven. It would be cheap and you would be assured of no gluten.

avocado and salt, or hummus and carrots. I also like to spread hummus and/or avocado on tortillas (you could sprinkle some salt on too) and I add tomatoes, but you could add whatever you like.

French Fries with lots of salt on them

Salsa and Chips

Trader Joe's White Cheddar Popcorn. Could eat bags and bags of it . Oh, and TJ's Spicy Soy Flaxseed Tortilla chips. I mourn the loss of these as can no longer tolerate flax seeds. :(

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
