So Hungry

[Jayde]

I suffer from INSANE hunger when glutened! The tiniest speck of gluten will throw my off into a food binge fest for 2 days. I can eat the entire refrigerator, times 2, and still feel like I need to eat :/. All I can think of is eating.. Sometimes its so bad I dont even care WHAT kind of food it is or how it tasts, I just need food and it goes in without much chewing. Then I feel terrible, bloated, etc... A few days later this passes and everything is back to "normal".

I got glutened yesterday, and today I've been eating NON STOP. My belly is nice and puffed out, and my entire digestive tract feels stuffed with food but I still feel the need to eat! I HATE this so much .

If this happens to you, how do you cope? I try so hard sometimes not to eat but its soooooo hard . Do you give in and eat when this happens?? Do anything to control it?

Would love to hear your stories!

This does happen to me. I have recently wrote on here about my terrible experience when I was glutened over a month ago now. I have been so bloated ever since, and I'm hungry ALL THE TIME. I look in th mirror, and feel so fat, yet all I can think about is my next meal. It's extremely difficult because I also have issues with eating disorders. I have try and keep myself occupied so I don't think about food so much, and I try to drink a lot of water at night so I feel full. Thank goodness I am finally starting to feel a little better though. I don't think I will EVER gluten myself on purpose again.

I am not sure this will help but i get really hungry too. I find steak cures my hunger pains. Eat lots of protein. I am not sure why but it works for me.

This is one of my main symptoms. I eat and eat. Even if I feel very full I'm still chasing food! I don't let myself feel guily about it. I allow myself to eat all the safe food I crave. You'll make yourself miserable trying to resist the base needs of your body.

I like to make a big pot of chicken and rice noodle soup. It's not heavy on calories but the noodles make it feel like comfort food. I also drink a lot of tea. I agree that protein really helps.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You didn't choose to get glutened and the symptom is beyond your control. You will have a long life to concern yourself with your weight.
