Disorder Eating...eating Disorder?

For the past couple of years I have been a night eater...For reasons I now blame on Celiac..it was just more comfortable to only eat when I knew I was in for the night. So this one big meal a day has been fine for the past 4 or 5 years. After going gluten-free I figured I would be able to eat whenever and everything would be fine...but I just can't. What the hell is wrong with me? Is this an eating disorder?

Kimis be gentle with your body. It got hurt real bad and you trained it to eat only one meal a day. So be patient with it while it heals and you will have to retrain it to eat at other times. Start simply by eating a small piece of fruit for breakfast for instance. Keep your evening meal as usual. Once this sits fine, try adding a little snack at lunch time. Gradually increase your food consumption at these times until you are eating normally again. Our bodies are amazing and wonderful and they can relearn. This may sound silly, but talk to your body. Tell it you love it and that you are taking care of it. Eat in a relaxed manner. Eat foods you enjoy (gluten-free of course). I wouldnt call it a disorder, rather a coping mechanism.

What's stopping you from changing the pattern? Is it mental? physical symptoms? Sometimes it can take our digestive systems to adjust to a new pattern. They seem to have an internal clock and sometimes it needs to or takes time to reset. Mine is happy when I stick to a regular routine. Can you gradually back off the portions at night over time so that eventually you have them moved to breakfast for example? You may want to try eating at the same times and eating the same kinds of things to get your body used to digesting food at those other meal times. When it's used to that, gradually add other kinds of foods and larger portions. Maybe start with foods that are easily digested.

I'm no expert on this subject. Just some ideas.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
