Did Anyone Else Have This Issue?

Sorry if this sounds silly but I've lost my fullness radar since going gluten free. What I mean is my stomach normally hurt because I've always had stomach cramps, gas and bloating after eating. I mentioned to my mother the other day I'm so used to having a stomach ache or heartburn pretty much all the time that it seems foreign to not have one. However, now I seem to want to eat all the time because I don't think

I don't know how long you have been gluten free, but some people become ravenously hungry as they heal. I speculate it is the body trying to heal you and make up for lost time. I lost my appetite and never wanted to eat at all but I made myself eat. Then a few months later I got the "ravenously hungry" stage. It was strange to be eating so much and not feeling bad. What I have read on here from people who had a similar experience as yours is- just go with it. Your body is trying to heal and you should feed it when it asks you for food. The stage passes as you heal. I'm not an expert, just telling you what I have read here when others have had this happen to them.

Hope your healing goes well.

I have dh & never had too much bad GI symptoms & I've never had a weight problem unless you want to say I had a lack of weight problem. I always ate throughout the day ~~~ 5 small meals per day & like that. When I went gluten free I became horrendously RAVENOUS 24/7. I could eat a large breakfast & within 1 hour I was starving again. It still happens but to a lesser degree. I just chalked it up to my body (gut) healing & it's trying to get the nutrition I've been behind on. I had no choice but to go with the flow & I have. I have not gained one ounce yet (but I could benefit from at least 5 lbs.). I'm still hoping.

I can relate. I thought it was because corn, potatoe and white rice are so starchy so I'm trying a low carb diet but I'm still learning it. I've gained 10-12 lbs and dont want /need to keep gaining. I go to bed hungry at night! But I know I've eaten plenty.

When I first got diagnosed, if it wasn't nailed down, I was eating it.

I put on 12 pounds in a heartbeat. It did pass eventauly.

If you read a book called "Eating Less: Say Goodbye To Overeating" by Gillian Riley, she states that when you are aware that some food are forbidden, then your mind gets fixated on breaking free because it's aware of the new restrictions. The book can probably help you regulate your eating so you don't put on any weight without dieting. Hope this helps!

holy cow, this explains my extreme hunger too..

Since my stomach has stopped hurting like yours I am always feeling like I am hungry..something I rarely felt before because it was overshadowed with pain and bloating.

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply and links, Wheatwacked. Definitely some food for thought. However, I would point out that your linked articles refer to gliadin in human breast milk, not cow's milk. And although it might seem reasonable to conclude it would work the same way in cows, that is not necessarily the case. Studies seem to indicate otherwise. Studies also indicate the amount of gliadin in human breast milk is miniscule and unlikely to cause reactions:  https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-peptides-in-human-breast-milk-implications-for-cows-milk/ I would also point out that Dr. Peter Osborne's doctorate is in chiropractic medicine, though he also has studied and, I believe, holds some sort of certifications in nutritional science. To put it plainly, he is considered by many qualified medical and nutritional professionals to be on the fringe of quackery. But he has a dedicated and rabid following, nonetheless.

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion
