Recently Gone Gluten Free

I have been off gluten since last Thursday. I cut out all wheat, and switched to gluten free pasta, crisps, and cut all gluten out. Due to this I have lost weight, which I did not want to happen as I am still trying to gain weight. Does anyone know of any foods I can replace or high calorie snacks/foods I could eat to get my calories back up?

Another question I have is, I have a cadburys Easter egg left from Easter. The hard hollow egg. Am I able to eat that? I've searched online and it doesn't have any gluten or wheat in it.

Thank you.

Is there a reason you went gluten free?

Someone from the UK is going to have to address the Cadbury egg. Hershey's makes ours in the states and I am not sure the formula is the same.

Eat fat to increase calories. Coconut oil. Olive oil, chicken fat, etc provided you can digest them.

some  people  lose  weight  others gain but once  your  body heals you  will taper  right  to where  you should  be... Filling  up  on high empty  junk  food  may  make  you  gain  weight  it also  may  slow  the  healing  process  &  make  cholesterol  go  higher....or  cause  other issues...

My  suggestion  is  to load  up  on healthy  foods  , eat  more  times a  day  add  nuts   & more  protein.....

Your  body  is  already  making  many  changes  by going  gluten free  eating a  ton  of  junk isn't  going to make  it  better  faster....

Healing  can  be  quick or  lengthy  every body is unique ,  no  certain  time  limit...

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
