Overeating Causes Problems?

I had one of those days this weekend where I just couldn't get enough food. I just wanted to eat and nothing satisfied me. The night of overeating I was sporting my "I'm-not-really-pregnant-but-it-just-looks-like-I-am" bloated gut. I was pretty sure I didn't have any gluten as no new food had been purchased for a while. I went to bed with the bloated belly but didn't feel like crap.

The next day I was miserable! I had a lot of pressure that prevented me from eating my lunch (all I could eat was the 4 oz yogurt and a few carrot sticks). This caused me to feel hunger pangs and fullness at the same time (which sucks). My stomach gurgled and moved like I was going to have diarrhea. And of course there was gas (which is fun to have when you share an office that people are constantly walking in and out of ).

I'm only on my second week of being gluten free. I'm pretty sure overeating just overloads my system at this time. But I'm curious to know if anyone else gets like this too.

For over a year, I had a completely ravenous appetite. There was no amount of food that would satisfy, and I'd eat until my poor stomach simply couldn't hold any more. Thankfully, it did eventually get better, which I mostly attribute to supplements.

What type of supplements do you take? I usually take protein powder because I tend not to consume enough for my activity level (exercise 5-6 days a week, sometime with two-a-days). But to be honest, this last binge was mostly emotional. I wasn't looking forward to going back to work after a 3 day weekend. I've grown to dislike my job and I've been looking for a new one.
