I've been gluten-free for just over a week and I'm down about 4lbs. Kind of a nice bonus. If I stopped eating a bowl of popcorn in the evenings, I'd probably be down even more.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
 

I'll cut the popcorn to once a week and see if I can't take advantage of my damaged gut to lose a few pounds before it heals and it becomes harder to lose weight... like everyone else. LOL I guess this is the benefit of being celiac: easier to lose weight... for a while.

It probably helps that I'm not trying to replace gluten foods with gluten-free products (except lara bars, mmmm). I've just been eating more fruits and veggies instead.

My headache is gone today. No sign of it. Yeah! And I can say for certain that my shoulder is greatly improved. I can lift it above my head now. It's still weak but most of that bone deep ache is gone.

It's gratifying to feel some improvements in the first week. That will make it easier to keep going. I hope the improvements are slow and gradual and last until I am really used to eating this way. LOL
