I guess you would say the withdrawals have started. Cravings really bad cravings... Just want gluten. Thinking its probably not celiacs and the blood tests were wrong. Silly me. I just want a sandwich from subway or a cheeseburger (with the bun) from McDs. Thinking of all my favorite foods and realizing everyday that there's another one I can't eat ever again.

This is so hard. :(

Ore- Ida fries in the oven. I like the " Golden Crinkles" . Also, Dove dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has those chemicals that make your brain happy, especially in women. :D

The cravings lessen - they really do! It will get better and easier with a little time. :)

If you're a sugar/carb person, try Udi's double chocolate muffins! Also, Enjoy Life brand makes these cookies that are so delicious - Snickerdoodle are my favorites.

In the beginning I found that if I ate lots of protein I stayed satiated for longer periods of time. I can't tell you how often I'd have a couple hard boiled eggs or even a big spoonful of peanut butter. It helped me so much.

Also, don't let your blood sugar dip! When mine is low I want to binge eat - like really binge on the super bad stuff! So, eat lots & lots of small meals throughout the day!

All best to you!

Get some gluten free hamburger buns so you can have a burger with a bun. It helps! There are good gluten free replacements out there. You'll learn that you can pretty much have whatever food you're craving but you might not get it right at that moment. We went to a potluck in summer and they had german chocolate cake. I wanted some so bad, so on the way home I picked up a Betty Crocker Gluten Free Chocolate cake mix and the ingredients for the frosting and made it the next day.

It gets better! Way better!

I'll agree with pondy above and say eat more fats and proteins to stay satiated longer. And eat more frequently all day long, rather than just 3 specified meal times. 5 to 6 times per day will help to regulate blood glucose levels and will even out cravings better.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
