Extreme Hunger after Gluten

I get extremely hungry after eating anything containing gluten. My theory is that the gluten causes inflammation and undigested protein/fat with that meal just becomes catalysts for autoimmune reactions aka leaky gut. The malnutrition/absorbtion of that meal leading to my hunger
My eyes also get very puffy, and mucous in them after a meal with any gluten.(especially in the morning) I also can't gain weight to save my life.
Has anyone else experienced this hunger after gluten? Also is maybe gluten not all to blame?
I have gotten a lot better but I still can't get over this hurdle of swollen eyes, and being skinny as hell.

This is a reply to # 1,794,016Typically people who are sensitive to gluten experience an exaggerated insulin reaction to it which causes increased hunger.

Gluten causes hyper insulin spikes in response. Insulin drives down your blood Sugar causing hunger. In severely impaired metabolisms this can happen within minutes of eating simple carbs.
Gluten is a disaster for insulin sensitivity and blood glucose metabolism. The best thing to do, if you are going to eat bread containing products, is eat Ezekiel sprouted bread, or some other gluten free variety.
My suggestion is to avoid bread completely. You know the body is responding negatively to something you are consuming. Why continue to consume it? That's my philosophy.
EDIT: Actually, to avoid flour completely in all forms.

This is a reply to # 1,794,061This is what I am experiencing too. I believe gluten allergy has been my main problem. I get weak and irritated after eating gluten. I also get dry, swollen, and mucousy eyes as well. And the hunger I have it extreme before and after a meal containing gluten. Ive also lost weight as well.
Im trying to figure out some kind of connection. When I look at people around me, they dont seem to have the same problem. All my friends are healthy and eat what ever they want. I believe gluten allergies has to do with adrenal fatigue. Most people would disagree and say its an allergy you have to live with. Im still exploring this topic.

Your friends' time is probably coming too, unfortunately. Everyone is getting sick these days, and at younger ages. Most people I know definitely have a chronic disease diagnosed by the time they're around 40. I wouldn't compare myself to them too much. Chances are they already have symptoms in some areas but are shrugging them off, like many of us did.
If it is an allergy, you're not going to improve on it by aggravating it. I'm in agreement with Puppetmaster84.
Personally, I don't eat any bread, grain, flour, at all. I stopped cold turkey in February 2010. It was making my hypoglycemia worse, and then there's that whole gluten issue, and some people say it's not natural to eat, etc. I just cut the whole thing out. I think breads are so popular only because they're a cheap source of calories.

This is a reply to # 1,794,074I agree refined carbs are probably the most unhealthy food ever invented, other than hydrogenated oils. But its just really hard to live in the "regular world" and never it grains. Its like America is obsessed with grains, wheat in particular.
And I believe its the refining that leads us to be allergic. Getting rid of the bra and pounding them into flours is making our body allergic over time.- Re: Extreme Hunger after Gluten UserX

This is a reply to # 1,794,092I understand how you feel. It's hard for me to go out to eat with people and have to not eat anything.
I still crave cereal, bread, and all yeasty/starchy products to this day. It's hard.- Re: Extreme Hunger after Gluten usasoccer11

This is a reply to # 1,794,165Yea it just isn't fair man, and my friends just don't get it, they think I am crazy. I'm seriously considering going all raw fruit, meat, veggies for a while until this clears up. Of the success stories I have found over the years they all seem to heal with raw foods and restore the flora, and bile production then they are cured.

Yea man you sound like a carbon copy of me. I also have low adrenal, low thyroid function, but I've learned to control it through relaxation, diet. BUT honestly I don't think controlling something that much is truly curing. My friends live the most unhealthy lifestyles, but still look great and feel great.
It just all changed because of Antibiotics , Have you taken them???- Re: Extreme Hunger after Gluten farro

This is a reply to # 1,794,061I do try to avoid it, its just hard I am a college student that lives on campus so its hard. Do you know what the route cause of this is. I know I didn't have any " food allergies " until I took Antibiotics for 6 months a couple years ago.
Yea actually I do react to all flour, but especially gluten flours. I wonder why that is...- Re: Extreme Hunger after Gluten MENDOMAID

This is a reply to # 1,794,088Does your college have a health service for students? If so you could ask them to do a Celiac Panel which includes a test for wheat allergy. If you have an allergy to wheat you may also be allergic to other grains. It is difficult while eating cafiteria food to stay gluten or grain free but some college students are able to do it. Have you taled to the cooks or managers about this problem? They might have a menu for people like you. Look at the legal and illegal food lists at the Specific carbohydrate Diet? That would give you an understanding of the foods you could choose to eat.
See Celiac.com information pages and Forums. Also The gluten Syndrome website.
Hope this helps and come back to tell us what you do and how it is working.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,794,152Yeah I believe by boosting adrenals and thyroid, one can still eat gluten and be healthy. Moderation is definitely a big part, but even a little gluten makes my allergy go crazing and that isnt right. Humans are made to eat food and shouldnt have to be limited.
I am also a college student and yes I have been on many many Antibiotics . I am not sure if this has any connection. When i think about, my friends havent been on that many at all. There could be a connection.- Re: Extreme Hunger after Gluten usasoccer11

This is a reply to # 1,794,167There is absolutely a connection. I was very healthy until I took long term Antibiotics , that I didn't even want to take! Anyway they literally made my immune system inactive, and my body lazy, but I felt good so it was misleading. THEN BAM. Candida, Gallstones, Fatigue the whole shabang.
It could be many things causing this
Zinc/Copper imbalance
Lack of Bile
Lack of Flora
Heavy Metals
Adrenal Burnout
Thyroid Inactivity
But for me it all boils down to daily digestion. Something is messing up our digestion bigtime! That is why I am finally bucking up and paying for a holistic doctor to sit down and test everything and get to the bottom of this. I HAVE HOPE, because I've already improved a good deal! I also hope anyone else with this ordeal just ignore the naysayers and keep trying, and keep staying positive!

This is a reply to # 1,794,285The Antibiotics certainly contributed to my problem with starch. Rice is even worse than bread.

Now that I think about it white rice makes my eyes swell as much as anything. The dish that always made my eyes swell worse than anything, was Chinese sezchuan shrimp, broccoli, and white rice. Keep in mind that I am not allergic to anything( been tested), its very strange and frustrating to me.- Re: Extreme Hunger after Gluten Healthiest sick person ever

This is a reply to # 1,794,668Not all allergies show up on testing. Elimination/challenge is the gold standard.

This is a reply to # 1,794,285I think getting tested for celiac as anotber poster suggested is a great idea. In additon, consider parasites as they are known to result in inability to gain weight.

This is a reply to # 1,794,167Perhaps you should read up on human genetic diversity to clear up this idea you have that everybody can eat everything.

This is a reply to # 1,794,637I have researched that a lot, and what they fail to recognize is the human bodies incredible ability to adapt. For example people have emigrated to the artic to live with eskimos on an all meat diet and thrived. Yes there are exceptions, but for the most part humans can eat most anything. I just think our bodies are being burdened by something that is not making us strong and adaptable.

This is a reply to # 1,794,666Yes exactly usasoccer i agree. Im not trying to say Mendomaid is wrong, but if I was not "allergic" to gluten before, then I dont see how it can be so devestating all of a sudden now. UNLESS you are being hurt by something else like adrenal fatigue.
