Gluten Free Broken Heart....

My boyfriend of about a year just up and left me yesterday. This is my first breakup while being gluten free, so this may be an odd question, but when you've had to go through this and you don't have your old, gluten filled, comfort food, that things did/have you eaten that has comforted you during this crappy time? I know you're not supposed to eat for comfort but sometimes, you just gotta. Any ideas?

Ice cream? Fritos? Snickers? Plenty of junk foods that are gluten-free.

Sorry for the breakup. Concentrate on what you want to do now.

Exercise. Reading. Friends. Movies. New hobbies.

It doesn't HAVE to be food. The last breakup I had (after I found out he had been cheating on me, so there was anger mixed in with the heartbreak), I LOST my appetite. I filled my days with the above, and when I couldn't sleep at night I just got up and read or played my guitar until I finally felt sleepy.

I'm sorry you are hurting but I encourage you to turn this into a positive experience. Go get your hair done. Buy some new clothes or new makeup. This is your chance for a new you. Grab it.

I cram olive oil potato chips from Trader Joe's in my face when I'm unhappy. Keeps me from eating sugar.....

Red wine and good cheese got me through my last breakup...two things my body seems to be rejecting now, but that's besides the point. I cheated once (ONCE) after my breakup and ate regular pizza - I gotta tell you, it tasted good, but not THAT good. Made me ten times more depressed and I couldn't get out of bed for a day (and I never sleep like that). Totally not worth it - will only make you feel worse. Use this time to really improve your diet since you only have yourself to feed and cook/shop for. Bury your face in a potato chip bag for a week or two and then off to the gym!! Nothing gets the anger out like running - I'm a TERRIBLE runner, so when I do, that's the only thing I can focus on. Helps get the weeds out of the brain for a bit :-) Feel better!!

gluten-free Granola and lots of positive thoughts. It's his loss so please don't punish yourself by falling off the gluten-free wagon. I read a lot of books by Louise Hay. Some are affirmations, others are wisdom. And we're all here to support you and be your safety net.

Sending healing {{{HUGS}}} and lots of love,

Oh trust me, I never thought for a minute to eat gluten. I wasn't meaning that, lol. I was just wondering since all my OLD comfort food for a break up was ALL gluten, so I was trying to figure out some that AREN'T gluten. I'd totally go to a gym, but I have no job, so no money, and I live with the rents still, so I still cook & shop for the house. I have been taking this break up A LOT better than I thought I would have. Actually going out, seeing friends and focusing on myself and my goals, which for me, during a big break up, is AMAZING. :} Thanks guys <3

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
