    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.
  5. SGRhapsodos
    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...

    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.
  14. SGRhapsodos
    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...

    I think it isn't only about processed food but quantity. Asians eat rice WITH their meals. As a hispanic I know most of us make rice half of our plate and that's when we run into trouble. It's processing of foods and excess.

    Thank you! Yes nobody can figure out why I'm getting constipated from probiotics.
  18. SGRhapsodos
    It takes hours for me, but for sure I'll be in pain for a whole day the next day.
  19. SGRhapsodos
    I used to feel like that after eating haribo gummy bears (website says they're gluten-free) and have awful stomach problems for days. I assumed it was more of s blood glucose problem than gluten. I used to get very brain foggy and it would happen everytime I ate something sugary. Maybe your body is reacting to the BG imbalance.
  20. SGRhapsodos
    Wow! Let me ask you, what probiotics do you take? My dietician recommended acidophilus (liquid form) but I'm afraid to try it b/c every single probiotic I've taken constipates me horribly. I do not want to get more constipated since it's been an ongoing issue since going gluten free.
  21. SGRhapsodos
    Lol yea. My hubs was so close to taking me to the ER that time. The funny thing is that doctors don't know what to do with this info. I wrote an extremely detailed and objective diary of my bg levels during 'experiment' and my normal grain free diet for 3 days. All that she said was 'don't measure your blood sugar so often'. I'm like, yea, in shaking and...

    I wonder if the over using antobiotics creates other problems on it's own that aren't related to celiac. I used antibiotics for years to manage acne and I'm very sure they did some damage too. Our intestines are sensitive to begin with, then add all that chemical crap and they get even worse. I hope they're not ruined for life. On another note, I know a...

    Before I used to be grain free I had to have something sugary after every meal and then like every 2 hours after that. It was insane! I bloat a lot but my weight has remained stable, but I have this really bad pot belly and it looks weird. The key to not having the cravings is to add enough protein and fat to meals. I checked out the fodmap diet but,...

    I didn't gain weight but became extremely sugar addicted. I would experience hypoglycemic like symptoms and wasn't able to function. I had a lot of GI problems from pseudo grains and rice. I think it all comes down to how your body feels. I lost a lot of weight following the paleo diet (didn't need to) but was able to control it by tweaking the diet a bit...
  25. SGRhapsodos
    Some people might take paleo to the ketogenic territory. They only eat carbs from veggies like cauliflower, etc. I can't go that extreme. I figured I need about 100 carbs a day depending how much I work out. I usually eat all kinds of fruits, sweet potatoes, yucca, malanga, carrots, white potatoes, etc. Your body will tell you how much it needs. The key is...
