Hubby Overindulges

My husband is not one to eat sweets daily. But he does eat them periodically. However when he does he eats such a very large portion that he actually feels sick all night and into the next morning. Last night, a holiday, he ate a steak dinner with all the trimmings. Quite understandable to consume more than normal portions of food on any holiday. But then about an hour later we sat down for dessert. He ate a very large piece of a gluten-free brownie as well as a very large portion of ice cream. When he does eat sweets on any occasion he usually feels sick.

Last night he slept on the couch for part of the night due to his discomfort and flatulence. My concern is that when he does overindulge that he becomes sick. I just want him to enjoy his treats, not make himself sick. When I bring up my concern and his degree of food consumption his only comment is that ,"I don't eat sweets a lot so when I do I enjoy myself."

Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Has anyone found a positive solution?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Realisticly, you cant, if he wants to be sick, then thats that pretty much.

Don't put out a full plate of brownies, or a full carton of ice cream. Portion control seems to be the issue here, and he may find that if he eats small portions that are small, without the thought that he has a limited number of portions, he's better able to self-regulate. So, cut the brownies small, put them all up except for one that he gets. If he wants more than that one small brownie, he can get up and get another one when he finishes the first. If he wants another one after that, he can get a third. But the point is that he's eating a small amount at each time and he has to make the decision to have more, instead of just seeing more in front of him.

Other than that, I would encourage you to talk to him about your concern about how this affects both of you. He may not change it, however, as he apparently gets something out of it.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
