This is exactly what my dad's body shape was....aside from the little kid head. Huge pot belly, hard as rock...no butt. Just thought I'd throw that out there as a point of conversation. j

That looks like ME, except for the boy parts, before I went gluten-free!

I can't beleive it, that is exactly how I look most of the time. I am 160 lbs and work out 5 days a week, in fact I have been training for a Triathlon but I keep asking how come I have his beer belly. It seems impossible, last week we measured my belly at 38", I normally wear a 31-32" jean size .I just went today for a an small bowel biposy, have to wait two weeks for the results, hope I have an answer.

It used to be worse...but I still kinda look like that

I'm super underweight, but sometimes I get so bloated I look a tad bit pregnant. Then when I wasn't working out, that was EXACTLY what my butt looked like (I hate to admit it, lol).

How do you guys deal with this???

Yes, That's the common body shape sitting in this chair too :lol:

I think we are just going to have to learn to live with it ... Some days it's better than others, but always there.

Well, this isn't me yet...at least not all the way there <_<

Anyone else know of any more data pertaining to Celiac Body shape? I find this interesting and I'd like to learn more about exactly WHY this happens. j

This is how my son looks. He is looking better now that he is gluten free. His legs are starting to fatten up a little bit and his belly isn't as big as before.

IMO, if you still look like that after you've been gluten-free for a while, you probably have secondary intolerances. Until November, fat and dairy did that to me too. Now the only time I look like that is if I've been glutened or somehow got really C.

One of the symptoms of celiac is loss of padding of the butt and also on the bottom of the feet.

I have no bottom and most of the time I have to sit on pillows. With no padding, I can get terrible back aches because of the compression of the spine.

I also awake in the morning with leg aches from no padding on my feet.

It is really hard to build up muscle. I guess I just need botox for my buttock.

Your right, I always have hated wood chairs without lots of padding! I've heard they give butt lifts these days, but haven't heard of botox!

Wow - that looks just like my dad used to look (I think, I always saw him with clothes on). Luckily, I have a little bit more female shape than that.

Just before my hubby got dx with celiac disease he found it highly painful to stand as his feet hurt so much - and the lack of padding in the butt area led to bed sores (ouch!)
His bodyshape is slightly better now (60 pounds heavier after 2 yrs gluten-free) but does still kind of have those proportions.

My son (who was only dx in Oct 06) has the same bodyshape.
