How Do You Gain Your Weight Back?

I have been successfully gluten free for 6 years then I accidentally ate the wrong hamburger bun and I got very sick.  Almost as sick as I was when I first discovered I have celiac disease.  I lost a lot of weight and I am not big to start with.  I was wondering for those people who lose weigh during a gluten attack how do you re-gain the weight?  Protein shakes? Eating more? 

I also have high cholesterol so I don't want to just eat dairy and bacon.  I try to eat nuts and have a healthy diet but it is hard for me to gain the weight. 

Any suggestions will help.  Thanks

I would try and just eat more of what you can eat. When you say your done try eating more.

It's happened to me more than once and I have learned that the more I worry about it the harder the weight is to put on. Relax and don't stress yourself out, it will happen. Other than that, try working out and drinking some protein shakes to build your muscles. Start slow though.

I would just give it time and it will slowly come back on. Eating more should help.  

 

As for cholesterol, it has been proven to me a myth (from what I have learned) that dairy, fats and eggs raises your cholesterol.  It is actually the processed foods (flours/starches and sugars) that end up raising cholesterol in the end.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
