Afraid To Eat

So I've been gluten-free since February. Had a few hiccups with the diet early on (some accidental, some just me being angry and trying to prove that gluten is NOT the problem...lol, it IS!!), but otherwise I have been feeling really good. Fast forward to the last 3 weeks...I had to travel for work, almost 4 weeks ago, which meant eating away from home for every meal for a week. I think I did ok, but I was starving. When I came home, I started a new job, ended a 4 year relationship, and fell into a bit of a stress induced depression. I was on a "comfort" food binge for awhile - which for me meant a lot more carbs, sugar, and alcohol than I normally consume. Everything was gluten-free, but my gut feels awful. Every day at around 3pm, I get terribly bloated and gassy (sorry). I'm currently SO uncomfortable and it's 5pm. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat - it always happens at the same time. Today for lunch I had a salad and some fruit!! Haven't had 1 real carbohydrate today, but I still feel terrible. Could I just be recovering from my carb binge?? I'm thinking that I need to cut them all out (mostly) for awhile and see what happens. Just wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom. I'm hungry ALL the time, but I'm afraid to eat anything because I get soooo bloated.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
