Question About Gluten And Hypoglycemia
Posted 16 June 2010 - 11:54 AM
Well, now that I've been gluten-free for several weeks something just hit me. Some mornings I've been eating a bowl of cinnamon chex. And I do not get that shaky hunger thing anymore. Not once! I just get ordinarily hungry at around lunch time. Now, why should this be? It's the same milk, same size bowl, even sort-of the same cereal (I used to eat chex sometimes). How does this relate to being gluten free? If it even does... maybe it's just a coincidence.
Anyway, I don't know enough yet about celiac to know exactly how the gluten affects our bodies (except for the symptoms I had) but I thought someone here might know if there's a connection.

I definitely can tell that if I add protein, like peanut butter, I can last longer, and if I have a bowl of cereal, I won't last very long...but I feel like my window of not having to eat is much shorter now than when I did eat gluten. I wonder why this is? I am not a meat eater, so maybe that is why, but I wasn't before either. I just had all my bloodwork done and that was all good, and my celiac numbers are negative too. I try to make sure I always have nuts or fruit on me.
