Craving Salt

I've been gluten free for about four months now with a few accidental glutenings from cc, but I've been pretty careful about what I'm eating and lately I have been craving salty foods like crazy, is it possible this is related to celiacs? I craved salt before going gluten-free too just not this badly, its like an insatiable craving.

When I first went off gluten, I HAD TO HAVE CHOCOLATE. I could have eaten it for breakfast lunch and supper, that passed and then it was potato chips. Thankfully my cravings have passed but for a while there I was not sure whose body I was living in cause it sure wasn't mine! I think it probably takes our bodies some time to re-boot after the gluten is removed. We all have nutritional deficiencies from the malabsorption so maybe salt is what your body needs right now.

Have had your thyroid tested??

No not yet, I figured I'd give my body a little more time to heal and see if it improves, also I still can't get enough sleep. I could sleep all day and still be exhausted doesn't matter if I get 4,8,14 hours of sleep

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
