Feeling Hungry After I Just Ate And Skin Question.

Do any of you get a gnawing type pain after you eat, like you're still very hungry? I've been having this for several weeks now. I've lost 18 lbs. in the past few months, and I know with Celiac, you're not getting the nutrients you need, but do you still feel hungry even after eating a full meal?

Also, I read something on here about a skin condition that can be caused by Celiac. I have little red dots all over my tummy and upper arms, and it looks like the hair follicles on my stomach are plugged up with a small white core or something (not pus though.) Is this typical?

I had symptoms of hunger after eating when I was dxd with a peptic ulcer. I am not celiac/gluten intol at all. Are you on supplemental vitamins?

As for the skin - there is a thread here : https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/26-dermatitis-herpetiformis/ that could answer some questions for you! Hope this helps. :)

Constant hunger was one of my main concerns when I took my daughter to see the dr. She would eat and 5 mins later ask for a snack, then 5 minutes after that ask for another snack and then start asking for lunch etc. It was silly. She did not eat overly large amounts but just ate non stop. She was always hungry. Since going going gluten free she does not constantly ask for food or say she is hungry all day long.

Quite a few of us feel very hungrey after we are diagnosed and still healing. Sometimes I wonder if our bodies are basically going 'hey nutrients give me more!!!!'. If you feel hungry eat. If you are having actual pain and you haven't cut out dairy you may want to do so for now. If that doesn't help then do talk to your doctor. Liquid Pepto Bismal can help if you stomach is irritated. The constant hunger should resolve soon after you have healed a bit more.

sounds like you're describing Dermatitis Herpetiformis....

and ive heard from others on here- that as you're healing and you start absorbing more nutrients- your body is "awakened" and gets super hungry- wanting even more nutrients

I'm so glad this was posted. I'm about 2 1/2 months gluten free, had my diabetes meds cut because my blood sugar was going too low (good thing) and now it seems the more I exercise (finally have the energy to do that) I'm starving all the time. I live in WI so shoveled a mountain of snow tonight and then had a nice dinner of chicken with red pepper sauce, brown rice and broccoli and felt full, within the hour I was starving again.. I don't understand it but I'm glad to see that the 'healing process' can cause this. Nutrients etc.. I still get full rather quickly when I do eat so I must not be eating enough at a time. Always something new.. but soooo glad that I feel well again it's been years since I've had this much energy.

Cheers to you all.

Thanks for this posting. I thought I was nuts as no way could I be hungry after eating a good meal. An hour later - I am starved! Guess I will go ahead and eat. Thanks!

I've have the same thing. I don't know if my stomach rumbling came on more after the diagnosis, or if I was just more aware of it happening. Either way, it's starting to get better now. My body likes its nutrients, I guess! :)

Have something rich after your meal, like a little peanut butter, a handful of nuts, some olives, or a piece of cheese if you're eating dairy. The fats will help you feel full when you know you have eaten enough.

me too!!!

I'm starving all the time. I'm only 5 days in with this diet and I can't stop eating.

Glad to know it's not just me.

I haven't started the diet yet, so I'm not sure since it normally occurs when you're healing if it's normal or not to be constantly feeling hungry. (I haven't been diagnosed yet either.)

Hmmm...I still feel hungry after eating too. Been on the diet about 6 weeks now.

As to the skin condition, have you looked into keratosis pilaris? I have this. It's where your hair follicles get plugged up with excess keratin. It causes a goosebump like appearance and your skin can be dry and itchy too. They are usually on arms, legs and butt, however, I do have a few on my tummy. They are getting better with the gluten-free diet!

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
