Sick- Dairy? Peanuts? Sugar?

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! :rolleyes:

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.

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.

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.

      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.?

      @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...

      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...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

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!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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 the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
