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.

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.
