At 6 feet 4 inches and 200lbs (tall and skinny) I lost 40 lbs  in 14 months on the gluten-free diet. I was eating way more protein than a body needs, and it did not help. I hated to look in a mirrow cause I looked like I was starving, nothing but skin an bones.  In the last 3 weeks I have gained 9 pounds.  Try not to concentrate on the weight lose, but stay more focused on eating gluten-free and getting your insides healed. The weight will come back when you get healed up inside. The amount of time it takes will vary depending on how much damage has been done inside. I wish the best of luck to everyone, after 14 months I thought I was on a downward spiral that would never end.

 

If you see the light at the end of the tunnel, get off the train tracks !!!

I never thought I'd have this problem. My intestines are in bad shape, and I've lost 40 lbs and keep continuing to lose. The Dr. told me that the intestines need to heal.

Thank you Koko_girl for raising this topic, it makes us feel like we belong somewhere,

 

I have discover my gluten/Diary intolerance about 6 months ago and since then, I've been on a gluten/diary-free diet.

 

my doctor said that in the path of 6 to 12 months i will be starting to notice some weight gain :''), but unfourtently non of that happened,

 

am 39-40 Kg and 164cm, which is extremly under weight, and i've been under weight my whole life.

 

the doctor said that due to my gluten intolerance my food habits was very bad since childhood, because whenever i eat food i feel bad so i avoid eating,

 

she said its a habit thing that should change with time,

 

i guess it could help to count your calories intake daily and make sure that you get more calories than ur BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) by 500 cals at least.

 

also, try healthy food suplements like Opticomplete from Optinutrition, you can order it from www.Windhawk.com since its not avaliable in UAE. it has almost 1500 cals a scoop with vitamens and minerals. you just need to double check if it is Gluten free

 

Gud luck all :''') <3

I'm so grateful too for this thread. It's such a relief to be able to talk about being underweight.

 

 I've always been thin (but then I may have always had celiacs!) and can't put weight on. I'm really struggling at the moment, feeling glutened but not knowing what is causing it (I am strictly gluten free). I am just hoping I feel better soon because the thought of going on an elimination diet does not fill me with joy!

I got down to 110lbs before GFD, and stayed there for weeks into starting GFD. I was concerned because I didn't want to lose any more weight, weight is a problem with the women in my family my mother weights 90-95lbs. I don't want to be that small I don't feel healthy, my youngest son told me he doesn't like when I'm skinny mommies are supposed to be squishy! This comment is adorable put did kind of hurt my heart when I heard it. I have been putting on weight by eating lots of potatoes, hummus, trail mix with nuts, raisins and seeds, and lots of beans, I do lose weight every month because of my cycle, right now I'm only a few days away from it so I will probably lose some this week but I'm at 135lbs if I can keep it here I'd be happy, I just have to have some weight on me to feel healthy.

Have you tried Pancreatic Enzymes to help break down your food?  I am not underweight, by the way.  I have been told I am carrying water,  so am not sure how I will look when I lose that.  I looked a tiny wisp of a girl in high school: I was even skinnier than a friend that suffered from Asthma attacks that she caused frequent lack of appetite for her!
