Feeling A Rush When Eating L-Glutamin Or Fish

[moggio]

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.
