Hunger Pangs

Everybody have experience the differences in their hunger pangs since they got on the new diet after get off the gluten foods?

I am still newbie at gluten free diet. I has been learning so much and starting realizing that there are certain limitations on kind of gluten free processed foods.

I hasnt ate too much of gluten free processed foods Beside that, I am still eating gluten foods in attempt to prepare for tests that I want to be tested for gluten intolerance or celiac.

so, i am in between both of gluten and gluten free foods for time being. plus, when i feel really sick and I has to stop eat gluten for few days in order to be functionable to do things i needs to do.

I noticed the diffrence in hunger pangs since I started eat gluten free for few days that has slow down and feel full longer. I started feel less needed to snack often.

When I start eat gluten foods again, My hunger pangs starting go crazy and feel so hungry all the time. its seem like I am straving and want to eat more after plate ful of foods. I start eat more snacks often.

I even tried to drink lot of water in between and just before meals etc. it do help bit but not so much as If i keep my hand and mind very busy and more likely less that I stop feel needed to thinking about the food.

I have to admit that I am quite overweight at 240 and I am 27. My weight have been up and down lot in past five years. I was 190 in 2006. it climbed up to 220 and stayed until this year. It went up to 240. I feel so ashmased of myself often. I just try to think positive to lose weight.

I am pretty sure this have do something with my disgestive system is not able to work well if I have gluten in my system. it seem slow down and dont really work at all. its like sitting duck until I suddenly have lot of gas and D.

it seem do something with body is not able to absorbing vitamins and minerals correctly that can leading to cause me to be more hungry so body can try to absorb again if my digestive system failed to absorb food in first place?

So, I am just wondering...

Yes. When I'm eating a gluten full diet I wake up starving, feel starving within a few hours of a meal and well, just feel the need to eat all day long. When I'm gluten-free I am content w/ 3 meals a day.

I think what you're describing is pretty common? Have you made an appointment to get tested yet? It seems like you are reacting to gluten pretty strongly?

Some Celiacs are overweight when diagnosed. Your body isn't absorbing vitamins, so your brain tells you it wants food...and you eat. Can you at least take a good multi-vitamin?

I know you said you wanted to be tested so your family will take your gluten free diet seriously...but if there's some reason there will be a long delay until you can be tested, it might be good to just go gluten-free?

Thank you for response. I guess life is full of surprises!

True bubba's mom,

I m scared of get tested since it would turn out negative. I feel much better if i dont eat breads and cake at all. As kid i dont even like breads and cake at all. I alwaxs prefer other foods over sandwiches, pizzas etc. Its like i follows my instinicts without even think about it. I just realized my habits by just read this website and thinking about my habits when i was growing up etc.

In addition, Would get testing be worth my cent to have a paper that say i do have gluten intolerance so other people will take me more seriously?

Well, it may be worth trying to figure out if you are NCGI or Celiac because there are currently different maintenance checklists for your healthcare. Right now, the advice is for vitamin/mineral testing, bone scans, diabetes testing, thyroid testing for Celiacs. I don't read the same advice for NCGI but wouldn't be surprised if it happens soon since the research is evolving. In addition, it may help others in your family if you are dx'ed Celiac.

Do you need it to follow the diet? No. Would knowing if you are Celiac help in the future? Perhaps.

Thank you Pricklypear,

sorry for delay in comment. I am already starting eat gluten free mostly thru out day but do guzzle down few slices of breads per day. I do notice the symptoms start pop up like couple of hours after. Plus, the headaches show up. I decided to make myself a ant in log which si celery and peanut butter with grape. I felt bit better after that.

my sister kept tell me i need go get tested first before her. she have severe IBS and wont go in for celiac test. I try to encourage her because her symptoms are further severe than mine. she is not willful.

However, in order for be positive for bloodwork. I will try to eat lot of gluten stuff for a while until i make appt with strange primary doctor. i dont know if i should make appt at chicago's celiac center or jsut with my local primary doctor? mmm...

Before I started the gluten free diet I craved sweets all the time and I have diabetes type 2...

I don't crave the candy and cookies anymore, but I have a weak spot for IrisHeart's flourless chocolate cake...

Might try to increase your protein intake/day. Worked for me. I never feel hungry.

Iv been ceilac for 7 years and i remeber when i was first diagnosed my hunger felt different or funny, me and everyone else thought i was crazy :P. its good to see im not the only one. I remeber i had just come off the flu and all of a sudden my stomach was feeling different before all the cramps started.

But yes if you're ingesting gluten it will cause a significantly less amout of your food to be digested, so your body will get hungry more often to make up for all the nutrience your missing out on.

      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.

      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.

      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.
