I can't get full. Constantly nibbling. I don't think it is boredom or depression it's more like cravings. Even after a big dinner a short while later I am in the fridge and pantry looking. I never liked cottage cheese (texture) but now I crave it a couple times a day-cottage cheese and mandarin oranges. I really think I could live on it for a while. I want gummie bears (I keep a stash) I found some legal lemon drops. Fruity stuff. I eat my fruits maybe not enough veggies. Where's the beef? Love my homemade tumeric jerky. I wont even start on the pizza, maybe 3 times a week (+ or -). I had lost 30 Jan-March (now 220) then was diagnosed with Celiac and stopped my diet. I have been playing with the same 5 lbs since then.

My last glutening was May 15, My birthday.

I generally don't have cravings. If I do, there's usually a reason for it. For example, some weeks ago, I craved tomatoes and parsley. The nurse thought I was lacking in potassium and magnesium and told me to eat these very things. I can eat refried beans pretty much any time. Those always sound good. And lately I've been eating Ian's chicken nuggets for lunch pretty much every day. They are quick to heat and easy to digest.

the only cravings I get occasionally are for sugary foods. I will try to stick to fruit when this happens, or if I have them, a couple "enjoy life" cookies. I notice that if I keep my brain occupied with something else I dont think about food or really even get hungry. I think being diagnosed with celiacs makes us think about food all the time and it is always on our minds, so naturally it may make you want to eat and make you think you're hungry. I actually dont get truly hungry like I used to on gluten. Actually, when I'm ay work I can go for the whole 8 hours and not really feel like I have to eat because I'm focused on work, but I make myself eat something. When I was on gluten I would be starving if I didnt eat in 8 hours, and still not be satisfied after eating.

I dont crave food anymore. I crave health!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
