Changes To Expect After Quitting Gluten (They’re Not All Good)
You may understand hunger signals better
One symptom of gluten intolerance is dyspepsia, which can include bloating, gassiness, upper abdominal pain, a burning sensation, and feeling full after eating very little. That last one is common in those with gluten intolerance who continue to eat the proteins. If you experience this when eating, it can be difficult to properly determine hunger levels. You may, as a result, train yourself to eat even after you feel full because you understand you need more calories. But that also trains your brain to ignore feelings of being satiated, which can throw off your ability to understand hunger and fullness signals.
