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 :angry: ).

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.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
