I Feel Like I'm Starving

I haven't been officially diagnosed yet but I'm fairly certain I have celiac. Biopsy came back with cell changes but they weren't sure if it was due to stomach acid or celiac. Had a blood test done and will find out tomorrow. In a way I'm hoping for a positve so I can finally figure out whats wrong with me.

Here are my main symptoms, can anyone relate?

1) After eating a few hours later I fell like I'm starving and need to eat again

2) mind fog- can't concentrate . This is really annoying. My mind just feels cloudy all the time

3) feel like there is pressure in my head and have a weird cracking popping noise in my head

4) fatigue

5) weird ratcheting in my neck. When I move my head up and down it kind of ratchets. It's weird

I don't have any gastro symptoms but I don't have a colon either so I always have the runs

Anyone else have any of these?

I got most of those. Never really had any gastro issues.

If there is damage to the villi, technically you are starving. You are incapable of fully absorbing the nutrients of the food you are eating.

You don't know how many times I was laughed at by doctors describing the "head fizz".

If you are seeking out an official diagnoses you need to keep eating gluten during the testing.

Yep. I was so hungry I would get heartburn. The dr gave me prilosec and sent me to a dietician who wanted me to eat yogurt. Hmmm, taking corn syrup out of my diet did help for awhile which led me to atkins which led me to celiacs. Now I'm all celiacs and have the scars on my elbows and knees to prove it. So yep it all started with being so hungry I could out-eat my boyfriend and two of my teenagers. Incidentally, the teen I could not out-eat, has celiacs. One more thing, through all this overeating we never got fat. I was at the high side of normal and everyone else in the house is thin.

Take Care,

Are you having hypoglycemic attacks maybe?

I haven't been properly diagnosed, but i've gone Gluten Free and have never felt better. I had those symptoms as well. I thought i was Diabetic, but was not. Especially after eating Chinese food. I would feel like I was starved an hour later, yet my stomach would be in knots from cramps! I think it was the Sesame Chicken (Fried!) lol!

Thanks for the replies. So I'm still eating Gluten because I'm going through the testing stuff still and tonight I ate a bunch of pasta full of Gluten. About 30 min later my head was really buzzing. Couldn't concentrate, just had to go lay on the couch.

I've been feeling really hungry and having this mind fog crap since Dec. Really just want to figure this out...

Does anyone react the same way so quickly when eating Gluten? I'm talking about the mind fog stuff....

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
