I'm Starving ... Am I Healing?

Recommended Posts

So, for the past couple of days, I've been *starving*. This past week I noticed that I wasn't forcing myself to eat three meals, I actually seemed to have an appetite. Today, I've wanted to eat *all* day!

My other GI symptoms are still there, though better, except the bloating. The neuro symptoms and fatigue haven't changed.

I don't think I've had an appetite for over a year - could this is a good sign that maybe I'm starting to heal a little?

(I've been gluten-free now for a little over 5 weeks...).

I remembered I had read this, and it applied to you:

"Q: I feel hungry all the time. Is that normal?

Yes, it is very common. Your body is making up for the time it wasn't fully absorbing foods. Hunger levels tend to normalize within the first months after eliminating gluten and beginning a well balanced diet of gluten-free foods."

I ate like a pig immediately after I went gluten-free. It's a common reaction.

I've been on the diet about as long as you have. The first three days I was on it I was constantly eating. For the first two week I ate a lot of processed stuff that plainly said Gluten free on it. Now I'm making more of an effort to eat a balanced diet and not nearly as hungry although I always have rice cakes or some sort of veggies with me to snack on. I've been told itsw normal because you're finally feeding your body things that aren't destroying it.

About the bloating. Are you still eating dairy or things with lactose in it? I noticed I was still bloated and then read in several places that it's suggested that you lay off the dairy at first to let your body heal. I hadn't had dairy for two days and didn't feel bloated. I had some cheese on a salad this after noon and now have a bloated feeling so I'm laying off the lactose for a while.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
