Trouble Eating Breakfast Before Gluten Free

I was just curious if anyone had trouble eating breakfast before they went gluten free. I never considered this to be a possible symptom of my medical problems growing up. But I have never been able to eat breakfast, and often would skip the meal completely and just eat lunch at noon to 1. Now that I am gluten free I am finding that it is getting easier and easier for me to eat breakfast. I used to feel sick first thing in the morning and the only thing I could ever stomach was fruit. Did anyone else experience this before going gluten free and did it get better for you too? I'm curious because my brother has some of the same issues with things as I do and I almost wonder if he doesn't have a gluten intolerance as well..though I doubt he would ever listen to me! :rolleyes:

I rarely ate breakfast up until about 5 years ago or so. Which is about when my hyperthyroid Grave's disease went into full swing, and even if I ate in my sleep I could never have enough food!

I eat breakfast every day now (Grave's diseae in full remission!). I can't expect my car to work without fuel in it, so how can I expect my own body to work without fuel in it?

Yup, me too. I used to live on chamomile tea in the a.m. That helped calm my sytem. Do make sure you eat a balanced breakfast with protein everyday as your system can handle it. Our bodies really need it. You'll most likely have more balanced energy throughout the morning if you keep an eye on carbs and have a sufficient amount of protein.

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.
