Gluten Free 3 Months: Hungry!

I quite gluten about three months ago, accidentally injested once since then. I'm slowly starting to feel better now, I can relate most ill feelings to lactose injestion so that intolerance is taking longer to heal than I hoped. Just lately I've been eating like a horse! I'd been enjoying a flat stomach for several weeks but now I'm going to bed every night looking pregnant. Sometimes I throw up a little bit in my mouth because I'm so stuffed. Is that a normal phase? Or does it mean I'm lacking something? I shouldn't be because I make sure I have at least some amount of carbs, protein, fruit and or veg every day as well as spirulina capsules with everything in them. My gut feels big and full right now! but I just so badly want to go get a peanut butter and jam sandwich!! It's nearly 11pm, I know I shouldn't... What's wrong with me?!

Celiac is what is wrong with you. It ain't easy.

Many of us have additional allergy/intolerances. I wonder it this might be the case for you? It isn't until you take out the worst (gluten) that the others become evident.

What is your history? Are you diagnosed? How long gluten free etc??

I know when I went gluten-free, I was SO hungry for months that if it wasn't nailed down, I ate it.

It eventually passed....

I was constantly starving the first couple of months. I think it is our bodies screaming for the nutrients we need to heal. Unless you are very overweight, I think it's OK to just EAT. I also had a bloated stomach, looked pregnant - I never figured out what that was about, but it does go away - don't get discouraged!

I don't know if you are eating gluten-free breads at all, but Udi's makes a decent PB&J sandwich, or if you want to bake your own, the Gluten Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix is divine! My (gluten-eating) daughter loves it and is always finishing it on me so I have to bake more!

Maybe switch the vitamins, but honestly it just takes a while for your body to heal and settle down sometimes. I used Lactaid milk in the beginning, and Lactaid tablets when I ate cheese or ice cream, but some people do better with no dairy at all for a while.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
