A Funny Thing That Happened On The Way To The Reception Desk


Rowena

Recommended Posts

Rowena Rising Star

SO..... Normally I work in the copyroom at my law firm. But quite frequently I get placed at one reception desk or the other. (Usually the more boring of the two, but shh). But anyway, I arrived to my shift a half hour early, and I was to start at a reception desk. So I decided to hang out in the copyroom. So one of my coworkers says, "I'm goin' down to Rachel's* desk, because we're starting a challenge about losing weight." So I ask her to ask if I can borrow the scale too. Said coworker comes back up and says to go visit Rachel. So I do... And guess what? I weighed my self, and I was at 137.5. After being 160 (And since I am 5'2", that's well over the recommended weight)

Only 17.5 more pounds to go. Thank goodness this diet is returning my life to normal. I am so happy to be feeling better, and this diet is getting me back to my normal healthy self with no GI problems. And considering the extra fourty pounds I gained I am pretty sure that were because of gluten intolerance.... I am pretty happy. I just hope I don't lose too much weight.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
