Does Anyone Crave Gluten After Being Glutened?

It seems to me, that after I get glutened and start feeling better, I tend to crave glutenous foods. Its as if my body enjoys being tortured! Luckily I use the good sense my momma gave me and DON'T give into these cravings (most of the time..:X), but I was just curious if this happens to anyone else.

its because its addictive. seriously. i dont have all the scientific details for you right now- but gluten, wheat, and dairy are all addictive and have an effect on your seratonin.

ive had a very addictive relationship with food most of my life. ive finally gone 100% Gluten free and am comfortable with that. but a pizza delivery guy passed me tonight as i was jogging... and i wanted to cry.

Never Never. I never put anything in my mouth that remotely might have gluten in it. And if I get "glutened" I am so sick I cant think about eating anything that will make it worse. Thou before I knew what the problem was when I would be sick from eating something I would go right to bagels and crackers because I only wanted dry things and of course it was the worst thing I could do and it would make me go into full blown celiac sickness. Now when I get into something that is hidden and it doesnt happen often, I make sure my next meals have LOTs of protein in them and that turns the sickness around. Wish I had known this the three out of four years that I was deathly ill on my vacations because of getting "wheated".

Yes! I've been gluten free since April and rarely have cravings for gluteny food, but I was really sick last weekend from a massive glutening and since about Thursday when my stomach was back to near-normal I've been craving everything. I was filming a soccer game on Friday night and was downwind from the fan section. I could smell the breaded chicken patties (which I always hated by the way) from the campus grill and wanted nothing more than to climb down from my post and track down that sandwich. Then it was LeeAnn Chin, Bruegger's bagels, pizza (that was also at the soccer game), cereal... All I have wanted to eat this weekend is cereal. I have some tasty gluten-free cereal but it's not doing the trick and the box is so small. I bought one on Thursday thinking it would last me through this week because I have other food, but there is a single serving left and I am trying to save it. No matter what I eat, I'm thinking of something else with massive amounts of gluten in it even though I know eating it would make me miserable.

Thats a tough time you are having there! Gluten makes my stomach so raw on the inside that all I can taste in my mouth is blood as it takes the lining off my stomach, so I never crave it, in fact it scares me to death. Have you tried just whole foods for a couple of days to detox? fresh fruit, fresh veggies, fresh meat? That really kills cravings for sweets that I get (I have lost 75lbs since I figured out I was gluten intolerant and have another 75 that I could afford to lose so I try to not eat sugar). It takes about 3 days but it works for me. I sure hope you get it under control because if you are like me and it makes your stomach lining raw you are risking cancer of the stomach if you eat gluten. My GI didnt tell me that but told me I had chronic gastritis and I did research on that and know that it leads to cancer. Please be well and give the fresh fresh a try. Keep in touch.

bridgetm - it's not doing the trick because it's lacking the opioid peptides your body is "craving".

I've also heard wheat and dairy can be addictive, and also that oats can also have break down into opioid peptides that can have similar effects.

I know how you all feel though, I get such crazy cravings (Not while I'm sick from being accidentally glutened of course, but afterwards...). I also never ever put anything in my mouth that could definitely contain gluten, but I cheat with dairy and oats, and I think it does affect me badly so I should probably quit them cold turkey :/

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      I was not a well child and on my own would stop eating certain foods when a stomachache occurred. As I got older, I began more and more anemic and ended up unable to hold food down at all. Once an endoscopy occurred, doctor said I had an obstruction in my stomach but nothing said about Celiac Disease. Dr. did stomach bypass surgery, removed a 1/3 of my...

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
