Has anyone had any good experiences with Black Forest? Everything I search shows they are safe but how are the certified gluten free but still have an allergen warning on the back that states they are made in the same facility as other products that contain gluten? It is really irritating that GFCO would certify a company that does not have a dedicated facility for allergen sensitive products. I am very hesitant on trying these. What are your experiences?

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By trents · Posted

      No, I have not before encountered reports of insomnia connected with gluten withdrawal. You did not answer a question from my original post. Are you officially diagnosed or self-diagnosed with celiac disease? Were you diagnosed with just antibody testing or both antibody testing and endoscopy/biopsy?

      Hi Trents Thanks again for the response, much appreciated. In regards to gluten withdrawal, since I was only getting 1 hour of sleep per day, there is no chance I could keep the 100% gluten free diet going, as I would have ended up in the hospital pretty soon due to lack of sleep. So, what I'm doing at the moment is eating toast and reducing the amount and tracking how my sleep improves. I think this is the only thing I could really do. Are you aware of any other cases similar to this? I can barely find any even when googling. In terms of white rice, I understand there's hardly any nutrients in eating that much of it, but I'm only doing it to make sure I'm eating as much calories as I can.

      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.
