Problems Filling Up

I have been on a gluten free diet for nearly 5 months now and I seem to not be able to fill up at meals. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to not always feel hungry?

Could you try to eat several small meals during the day, so you don't go into a main meal with hunger pangs.

I was hungry all the time when I first went gluten free. I finally greatly increased my protein intake and reduced my carbs, and that took care of the problem. If you don't have other food intolerances, try having more eggs, lean meats, nuts and peanut or other nut butters. I have never eaten so many eggs in my life, but now they are a staple in my diet. I take them hard boiled for lunch or snacks on the go. I make omlets at home.

Both very good suggestions. If you try those and they don't help, see your doctor. There are medical conditions which will cause a constant feeling of hunger. But try the suggestions, first. Make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need. See a registered dietitian if you're not sure how to do that. Going gluten-free upsets our whole sense of what we eat, and often we end up lacking in things like fiber, folate, and complex carbs. Or we end up eating so much "gluten-free" specialty food that we neglect protein or good oils.

Good luck!

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
