Overindulging

I think I've been "coping with" celiac disease by overdoing it on the stuff I CAN. I mean, I eat way too much candy, for one thing.

I wonder if it's my mind's way of saying "Okay, no regular pizza, but I can have all the M&Ms I want!" ?

Yep, I think some of us do that. It'll get better as you find more foods you can have, and get used to the diet. Give it time, and get out for a walk while eating those M&M's. ;-)

Me too! I've started eating a Baby Ruth or M&Ms everyday. I didn't use to eat that much candy. But since now I can't have my favorite ham sandwich or beef burrito, yummy, I'm making up for it with chocolate! :D I think there's probably a lot less calories in the candy though. That sandwich and burrito where huge!

I just discovered Rice Dream Ice Cream and I can eat the vanilla, along with EnjoyLife chocolate chips, boy, I never ate much ice cream before but now that I found this! well, I have put some weight on in the last 2 weeks. I just can't seem to stop eating it for desert, EVERY NIGHT, even when I am still full from dinner.

This too shall run its course and I will calm down, however, until then, Rice Dream Ice Cream every night.

I'm the same way. Not only that, but my meals have become so planned in case I go somewhere w/o gluten-free food or I get hungry while commuting home, etc, that the eating process has become mechanical. It's hard for me to listen to my stomach to know when to eat.

oh, man, do i hear you!!! i have been having some problems with candy and ice cream binges-- to the point where i feel literally HUNG OVER in the morning sometimes. for some reason, even though i know i will wind up feeling worse, in the moment it feels unavoidable to go for some more m&ms. (i like the peanut ones myself!) have any more experienced celiacs gone through this and come out "normal" about eating again???

I do the same thing with french fries, soy ice cream, cashews, and chips (when I find some that don't make me sick!). When I crave something like pizza, I just eat something like that.

Made the same mistake myself..I think our bodies are just starving for some reason..trying to get the nutrition denied for great periods of time.

What is worse, there now exists a gluten- free version of Oreo cookies and they have a ton of fiber in them! That gives us an excuse to indulge more than ever!

They are even crunchier and better tasting than the "real" thing.

For those of you that get D it is even more inviting..I get C so my body reminds me to knock it off...Whew!...on that account anyway.

Chocolate is my over-indulgence. I can have it, so I do. It does not require cooking, I can get it at any convenience store. Now to get it off my hips!

Where are these Oreo? I need them for my eating binges. I eat way to much candies and ice cream. I feel the same way as everyone who posted. I don't know if its frustration or just the I don't care mode I gotta eat something good.

I KNEW I was gonna get a response to that post and I won't be surprised if a dozen more come rolling in..

The wrapping they came in is history and so is the other wrapping that I tore off the other package last week but I will be going to the health store tomorrow and see if they are getting any more in..I don't remember the name of the company offhand since my radar was too honed in on what was inside...like Homer Simpson going after a doughnut.

Nope. There are two companies that make them. Darn, can't remember...maybe Mi-del and Glutano?

I hate to make things worse, but there is also a set of frozen glazed doughnuts that have anything that Dunkin Donuts ever made backed off the map..Both chocolate or vanilla (well White anyway) is available..They have NOT run out of that and I will be picking some up tomorrow..

I eat them while they are frozen and they are awesome..

I think I found my new "treasure" food. We got this book on top secret restaurant recipes and in it is the Blooming Onion from the Outback(pre gluten free this was one of my favorite foods) well we modifed the recipe to be gluten free and it was so good!

I also love chocolate hershey bars and snickers.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups have become one of my major over indulgences!

I'm also addicted to those donuts by Kinnikinick! OMG they are so good! I can eat them frozen too!

One night I had such a bad craving for something bad for me, so I made a banana split loaded with lots of Mayfield vanilla ice cream, Smuckers hot fudge, peanuts and Erewhon Rice Crisps... (I wayyyy overdid it and ended up puking it all back up!) Oh well.

We must enjoy all things in moderation because it doesn't taste as good coming back up as it did going down. :lol:

Reading all these posts on what people overindulge on is definitely not helping my situation. :)

Does anyone have any solutions to keep their mind off of food or help them to stop eating once the rampage has begun? I know exactly what the "food hangover" feels like. It lasts for a couple days with me and makes me feel so terrible about myself. I've begun to stock my fridge with only healthy food, and I've also found that splitting large portions (from leftovers or things I make for the whole week) into small ones helps - like separating my fruit salad into small tupperware containers instead of one large bowl. I'm definitely still having issues, though, so if anyone has advice, please post or e-mail. Thanks!!

The splitting into smaller portions is a good idea. I find that I have a couple weaknesses, and use the following things depending on the situation:

1. grab a serving of the food, then go for a walk before having more

2. drink at least a cup of water, and waiting 10 minutes before having anything more

3. read this board before having anything

4. if it's just a case of the munchies, have some gum

Basically, the point here is to distract myself for a certain amount of time before I consider going to that item again. It works better sometimes than others, but so it goes...

I know Glutano makes some good cookies like Oreos...Midel might too..but I have Glutano ones right here :D

There we go...I got at least one brand. I think their Oreo has a very sweet frosting in between and the cookie part is a little thicker and not ridged--not that I really care; but it provides a distinction for me between it and the other, the cookie part of which looks exactly like an Oreo.

My daughter likes the Mi-del wheat free/gluten free (oreo like) cookies

The donuts we get are Kinnikinick

Yes, I guessed both brand names correctly! :lol:

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
