Hi- I'm brand new to this forum so if I'm posting this in the wrong place please forgive me. My question is a

little weird...has anyone with Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance ever had issues with cravings (uncontrollable)

for bread, pasta or anything containing gluten?

I'm not diagnosed as having celiac disease (my 9-year-old son is) but I have always had a "sensitive stomach"-sensitive meaning I don't eat pasta at a restaurant unless I am going home immediately.

So, if anyone has experience with gluten gluttony please let me know.

Thank you :D

I haven't been diagnosed, but bread is always the first thing I crave. Pasta is a close second. They both make me feel terrible. I'm with ya on the pasta thing - except it usually hits me before we even leave the restaurant. I remember one time I wasn't sure I'd be able to get up and walk to the car. I made it, but I felt like a little old lady with a walker, except I didn't have a walker!

Yes, I am a recovered Bulimic. I craved gluten foods....pizza...donuts....

Gluten/Gliadin act as opiates in the brain. It is a drug and if you dont eat it for awhile (even a few hours) your brain screams for more. But like all drugs it does it's damage int the process.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
