      My concern about the nutrition robbing potential of so much white rice consumption is coupled with the knowledge that when you remove wheat and other common cereal grain flours from your diet you are likely doing away with considerable vitamin supplementation. In the U.S. at least, common cereal grain flours are required to be fortified with vitamins and minerals. Gluten free alternative flours are not.

      Gluten withdrawal is no different than any withdrawal from any other additive substance like opiates or nicotine. In case you aren't aware of it, wheat has additive properties similar to opiates. So, there is a dependency that develops. When you take the additive substance away, the body cries out for it in some way but if you continue to deprive the body of it, the body adjusts and the craving subsides. The insomnia may be how your body is telling you, "I'm used to this and I want it again. I'm upset." But if you stick with resisting the crying out long enough, the body will achieve a new homeostasis that doesn't need wheat. 2000 calories daily from white rice concerns me as white rice is nutritionally bankrupt. Eating that much of it may be robbing vitamins from other things you eat in order for those calories from the rice to be processed.

      I understand the weight loss, as I’ve had Celiac for 5 years, and frequent flares. I’ve been researching supplements for those who aren’t absorbing, anyone have suggestions?
