Feeling A Rush When Eating L-Glutamin Or Fish


moggio

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I've been gluten and dairy free for almost a month now. I felt amazing the first few days but then I started to have panic attacks and felt very irritated both in my head and in my stomach. I'm feeling better now.

All the problems seem to go way when I'm eating fish...especially salmon. I almost feel a rush when consuming fish. It's a similar rush as smoking marijuana(I don't do that anymore).

I read on here that the body might be short on vitamins from having celiac for so long so I figured I should buy som nutrients. I'm now taking a multivitamin and L-Glutamin. I'm getting the weird "high" from eating L-Glutamin too and I was wondering if its because the body is craving L-Glutamin so bad that it actually triggers somekind of feeling good-recptors when it finally gets it and can repair the small intestines?

I feel a lot better now when I'm on the gluten free diet but I've lost some weight which is a bad thing for me.I'm hungry all the time and craving fat and fish like a maniac.

Some people do get sort of a relaxed alcohol-like feeling from L-glutamine. As for the fish, you might try taking some fish oil. You must have been malabsorbing fats and now you're trying to make up for the deficiency with cravings.

It feels good to hear that other people have been getting those kind of feelings from L-glutamine because it sounds a bit weird to me....BUT there are a lot of weird symptoms in this whole celiac thing so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised.

The multivitamin I'm taking right now has som fish oil in it so I hope that'll do.

Yeah I must have been malabsorbing fat.It feels like I'm losing weight over night.

I went to a concert tonight and I got these horrible food cravings even before the band had started to play....I had to sit down in a corner. Horrible!! It's like I'm dopesick or something and the symptoms are very similar. I'm only one month into this diet but it's getting better each day.Somedays I feel like a vampire out of blood tho..

I think I'm gonna have my thyroid checked. Maybe that's why everything I eat disappears after an hour.

I hope I'm not diabetic or something.

I wouldn't worry too much, especially if you're feeling better every day. Some people get really hungry at first, crave particular foods, or seem to just burn through what they eat once they go gluten-free. It's your body going "Oh my gosh, I can get what I need from food and repair!" Give it a little more time. A month is not long at all.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
