*sigh* this post really touched me - I never post on here but couldn't help it on this one... I did some research a while back and most of the links between ED's and Celiac were biological in nature. But as one who suffers from/battles both the psychological links are really powerful. -ED tells me "everyone's watching what you eat" and indeed, people...

Hello all, Just wanted to follow up about my sugar cravings. Went to a nutritionist this week who opened my eyes to HOW MUCH SUGAR I am taking in every day in my "healthy diet" - dried fruit, Kashi GoLEAN shakes, sweet yogurt (I buy the "light" ones but they're still loaded with sugar), kettle corn, etc. No wonder I get hungry very often, crave sugar, and...

I, too, have HORRIBLE sugar cravings, particularly at night and I feel out of control. I am a healthy eater and avid exerciser with not weight problems, per se, but have gained weight over the past 3 months due to the sugar binges. M&M's, ice cream, fruit, nothing satisfies and I find myself going back for more and more until it's bedtime. I also notice...

My b-day in Feb. was tough too. I tried to make myself the gluten-free Pantry Angel Food cake but it failed miserably b/c i don't own a hand mixer. and the "gluten-free cupcakes" a friend got me at a regular bakery in DC made me sick! boo! I was in a gluten-free slump. My boyfriend and i used to love to eat out and i became extremely frustrated with sticking...

I'm now 5'3" with a small athletic frame and weigh anywhere from 115...

My brother told me he read an article somewhere about how the increasing gluten sensitivities are in part due to the way we (modern man) store wheat products - for extended periods of time and exposed to contaminants before they are ever prepared and packaged and put on the shelf. He wanted me to try growing my own wheat field (yeah, right - eating is already...

I also have felt light-headed and dizzy increasingly lately. I've been gluten-free for 7 months and have not recently changed my diet/lifestyle etc. Don't notice a distinct pattern of it happening only when I'm really hungry (I'm frequently REALLY hungry) and I know I'm eating enough food. It tends to happen when I stand up from my desk at work - but feels...
