I've been noticing a new trend.

My big meal is always lunch.

For about the past two weeks, after I eat lunch, I feel glutened or panicked.

Then, after about a half hour or so, it stops.

Can anyone relate to that or explain it?

I eat VERY lightly breakfast and supper, mostly just snacky things,

but everytime I eat my Big meal, I get like that, then it dissipates.

Look out now, Connie's using big words ! :lol:

What are you eating for lunch?

My homemade pimento cheese

today, gluten-free PF Changs (since I can't eat for the next few days)

Yesterday, lettuce wrap that I thought I reacted to, but it stopped after 1/2 hour

My homemade chicken broth brown rice carrot soup,

if I eat a little bit, it doesn't happen. If I eat a big meal of anything, it happens, and I also feel sick to my stomach, but the whole jig stops after about half hour then I'm fine. And I always sweat, too. :huh:

Weird - maybe you're just eating too much, or there was cc somewhere.

BTW, I've been wanting to know - do you live in or near Louisville? If so, you should come to our support group at Bapt East if you haven't already. It's a good group of folks, and we're having a cookout next month. B)

I always feel horrible if I eat too much at once. Maybe you should eat a smaller lunch, or break it into 2 smaller snacks a couple hours apart?

It sounds to me like your stomach can't handle big meals now. Try sticking to many small meals throughout the day if possible. I've been told that is actually the healthy way to eat, even though I don't do it. I don't have any tummy issues though.

I'm guessing if you do this for a while that you'll be able to handle bigger meals before too long.

Good luck!

Maybe try splitting your midday meal in to two smaller ones. I do much better snacking throughout the day than if I eat a big lunch.

Connie are you by any chance going through menopause or pre-menopause? There was time when I looked into early menopause because I was trying to figure out what was causing my fertility problems. Anyway, this sounds similar to what I read about...Some women get menopause symptom triggered by eating. Read this hear and see if it sounds familiar: Open Original Shared Link

The first symptom there listed at the bottom is "crashing fatigue after eating".

Yes. I had a hormone level test and out of 3-22, I was a 3. Doc said no HRT.

Yeah I would just try eating several lighter meals like everyone suggested. I don't know anything about the HRT, but perhaps get a second opinion on that. Many of your posts sound like they could be related to really bad menopause symptoms.

He won't do the HRT because my mom had uterine cancer and my daddy passed of cancer in the jaw and throat (and I smoke).

I'm going to call over there and ask him to get me into an OBGYN,

certainly there's something can be done......

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct? You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test.

So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
