Thanks for sharing your experiences, Michelle. Some would say TMI, but this is useful to know for visitors to this website. Glad you sorted things out.
]]>I did notice this allergy guy!! and in my case my self diagnosed celiac(which my son also has) caused my reaction to the other outlet in our bodies, and frequently without me even knowing at nite(how I found out,ugh) but I quit all gluten and got better..quickly..within 3 weeks I had solid, which I never knew I would be so proud to have solid stool…ew…lol..but I also noticed I don’t have those sever hunger pains I used to have..especially when I wake up, I would feel so hungary I felt like I was gonna die!. every now and again I have to have a publix sub..on wheat, which since I have no gluten in my diet, it will only give a couple of hives, on my face only(luky me)..and a few in mouth canker sores…sometimes its worth it.But then for like 3 days I wake up starving!! so I think your on to something allergy guy!! I went un diagnosed for my whole life, only really testing myself 6months ago. which I don’t think my villi will grow back because it has been damaged for soo soo long, but at least I don’t wake up in it, and as long as I don’t sneeze, I can control my constant diarrhea. I am thankful that I found out, which my doc refuses to admit I have celiac..idk why? what??…well, she also is a nurse practitioner, and doesn’t think there is a celiac blood test…ugh..lol..life is better…try corn pasta guy, just remember it keeps cooking…so it will get mushy if you try to make chicken noodle soup or a stroganoff, shrimp scampi pretty good. which are excellent, because the corn pasta is sweeter than flour pasta. I hope my comment helps someone. keep your chin up because you KNOW YOUR OWN BODY PEOPLE!!
]]>I love my food and I eat until I’m full! I don’t know that I eat more at a sitting, just that it takes longer until I get hungry again, that’s the real difference.
]]>I don’t know about that…. I know eating pizza makes you hungrier for more pizza ! However, with fewer foods to choose from, perhaps you do eat less, especially if bread was your fave food as it was for me ! I’ve lost 10 lbs, but perhaps partly due to being sick for weeks & partly due to eating less on a gluten free diet! (TIP: corn tortillas have half the calories of tortilla chips; I also find that if I eat the tillas instead of the chips, I eat about half as much…. perhaps 4 oz instead of 8 oz…. IE. 280 cal instead of 1100+ cal. for the chips…. plus of course whatever toppings I put on them. (I like Daiya cheez, 90 cal/ oz…. melts like cheese, without the sinus clogging effect of dairy)
]]>Great news, David!
I also am beginning to think that eating wheat makes you hungrier, so you may find that you eat less, further reducing your food costs. Have you noticed this?
