Sick- Dairy? Peanuts? Sugar?

[diapason05]

So, I have been feeling pretty terrible. This may be because I have been eating A LOT in the last three days..When I say a lot, I really do mean it. I noticed when I have anything really salty/fatty/sugary, I tend to go way overboard and EAT IT ALL!

One thing I did notice, whenever I "binge" like this and eat a whole bag of cookies or something, I automatically gain three or four pounds and get bloated. NOT SO when I eat a lot of the gluten-free stuff. I had some gluten-free arrowroot animal cookies.. ate them all.. didnt bloat or feel sick at all.

This has never happened to me before, and it just tells me that I am gluten intolerant since eating gluten causes me to gain so much weight, so quickly.

Now, I had given up milk after feeling really really sick last time I had some.

I noticed peanuts give me a stomachache (but they very frito-lay and may be gluten contaminated, i guess)

I went and had cheese in my eggs yesterday and felt sick.

I had coffeemate today and cracker Jacks (I know I am just so healthy right now. ugh)

and i feel REALLY sick today..

All the sugar!

Did I mention the M&Ms I had last night?

Sugar overload.

It's like this horrible vicious cycle.. I eat popcorn with butter, chocolate with lots of sugar or anything else with sugar or peanuts (with salt) and it's like I'm starving and I end up eating way more than a normal person ought to.

Am I just hungry because that stuff makes you feel hungry? Or am I intolerant of something?

I do know sugar makes me have a really bad stomacheache and yet I continue to want it (same with peanuts and chocolate!)

I've noticed that without gluten I feel hungry a lot. I don't get the same full feeling off of other kinds of foods. I'm just getting used to walking around feeling like my stomach is empty even though I ate something. Sometimes I've struggled with not going overboard on the stuff I CAN have because I feel so restricted from what I can't have. Maybe this is you? I would say get some nonsugary EASY to eat gluten-free foods around you that you can fill up on and grab. Those sugary foods are just so easy it makes them extra tempting for me!

I know just what you mean. I always feel hungry, but sometimes I just get so sick of eating cuz I feel like i have to eat all the time to fill myself up.

I'm new here but maybe it could be that your stomach is damaged so you're not absorbing food as well?

Could you be hypoglycemic? It can make you generally feel like crap if you get your blood sugar out of what and keep it out of whack.

Am I just hungry because that stuff makes you feel hungry?

Yeah, probably. I'd try to switch to a more natural way of eating for a while before worrying about additional intolerances/other health conditions etc. If it becomes pretty apparant that dairy is causing you problems, it wouldn't hurt to cut that out too. With lots of sugary, processed food though, it can be hard to tell what's actually going on.

To curb the hunger, maybe try some healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, coconut oil) and natural sources of protein. I feel hungry and sick all the time when I do the junk food thing too.

Candida overgrowth.

Fits every food and symptom u mention.

It creates cravings and leads to those binges.

No shortage of "candida symptom checklist" entries online.

Give it a look.
