<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone, I have been a member of this list since January, and I have found the information quite valuable. I haven't seen any comments about an odd symptom of mine, though, and since I exhibit a number of the other celiac symptoms, I am wondering if this particular symptom could be gluten-related. Quite often about 10-30 minutes after eating I experience strong hunger pangs, and most times it is accompanied by a sensation of heat at the back of my throat. It is very frustrating to feel so hungry after I just ate a significant meal! When I first started to examine this symptom (I've had it for many years but never thought anything of it) I thought there might be a connection to specific foods I had just eaten. Now, though, it seems to happen randomly or sometimes after every meal. Does anyone have any insight? I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone else who may have experienced the same thing or something similar. I have not been diagnosed with CD, but I am *preparing a case* to take to my MD -- I suspect he already thinks I'm a hypochondriac because of the headaches, joint pains, diarrhea/constipation, etc.etc. Thanks again for everything contributed to this list.
