You sound like ne in high school. This was my exact reactionto gluten. The next day I'd be all messed up and gassy and bloated, but couldn't help it to eat an entire bag of pretzels. How odd! There are emotional issues I guess that also trigger my problems with food and self image, but the gluten connection is probably the biggest issue. I wonder if the anorexia...

Thank you for your responses. I appreciate the advice more than I can say it with words. I did cook a lot while they were here but it got expensive. The breaking point came when we had to go to the food court and I had to eat sushi because there was nothing else. The rice blocked me off for a week, and that's after a week of being exposed to bread crumbs...

What's the name of the test that I need to make for my son in order to see if he might have celiac? I want to suggest it to his doctor.

I noticed that the first symptom of being Glutened was the emotional rollercoaster rather than the stomach problems. I wonder how many of those foods I would binge on had gluten and I thought they were gluten free.

I guess stress does play a big role in the bingeing. I haven't dealt with binge eating in over 12 years and now it's back. The only way to control it is through a high fat low carb diet, but last time I tried that, it made me lose weight to the point of looking sick. The problem is that just adding fruits to my diet triggers the binges. How do you control...

Thanks, guys. I hate feeling sorry for myself. It's such a b%$@# to be weak. I guessed this would be the one place I could be weak without getting judged.

My in laws are here and they remind me of how abnormal I am. I'm here and my toilet paying for wanting to be normal. A week's visit by them means a constipation that I can't get rid of, not even with a gluten binge, 10 pounds of unexplained weight gain, uncontrollable bingeing (in gluten-free and gluten filled foods). I had anorexia and bibge eating disorder...

Good to know! I'm still taking the b12 supplement until I feel like I don't need it anymore. The one I've definitely stopped is the b6 because I was having those convulsions. I'm waiting to pee it out now. Been to the bathroom like 5 times today and it's only 11 am here lol. Thanks for the info. I love these forums because you guys have more info than any...

Best of luck to you!!!! It's a long road for all of us but with education and experience we can all have a healthy boy again!!!

Disclaimer: do ask your doctor before stopping any supplements prescribed by him/her. Is everyone happy now?! However, do listen to ur body if you don't feel well and do bring it to the doctor's attention. Most doctors don't ask the amounts (milligrams) that you're taking. Nobody asked me. A lot of doctors don't care or are not educated in the dangers...

I never claimed to be a medical professional. I just say for those of us who are still having problems after going gluten-free for a while some supplements may be to blame. I don't disagree with the fact that some people are severely malnourished and do need very high doses of supplements, but some of us with healing guts may no need them. Depends on the...

Wow! I think once the GI tract heals, one starts absorbing these vitamins from foods and you don't need the supplements. Just eating enough whole foods should be enough.

Celiacs out there who are feeling dizzy, bloated, having seizures, constipated, or having diarrhea: you may be experiencing b complex toxicity. A lot of us celiacs are prescribed/recommended/self medicate with vitamin b supplements and assume that they're 'safe'. It's not true. A lot of these supplements have mega doses of the daily requirements of these...

I work with ASD kids and I can tell you the diet doesn't make a difference. The only thing it wil do is make the kids have less stomach problems IF they're already celiacs. On another note, I cook everything gluten-free at home, but when we go out, I allow my child to eat breaded chix tenders and junk if he wants. I also make him sandwiches with regular bread...
