FINALLY got up to 130lbs! Been binge eating my coconut flat bread, cheese sauces, coconut, hemp seeds, almonds, and most recently GROUND COCOA NIBS, I found roasted cocoa nibs online in 1.5lb bags for $23. I been eating about 1/2 cup a meal blending in shakes, icecream, sprinkle toppings etc. I love how the different roast and sources of the beans gives different flavors and find the combinations quite fun. I also took a tip from a body builder buddy and got some ketones and potassium and started taking them along with 7 digestive enzyme tablets before a meal (serving size is 3). Results were I put on almost a full 3lbs in a week after years of trying to bulk up. This is fantastic. seems to be muscle to boot.

Now that my health is up, I feel more like doing stuff, just wish business would pick up with the bakery and the almond butter sales.

I always laugh when people say they're going gluten free to lose weight.

HA! tell that to the +10lbs I lost in a month before going gluten-free. Of course, last winter I went a little too far the other way, so when I lost 10lb fairly quickly this spring, I was relieved that my vitamin levels were all still good. It's stayed put for the past while, which is good.

Anyway, great to hear you have your energy back! (cocoa nibs are highly deceptive little suckers)

      How many grams of protein per day would you say you are getting and how many calories per day? I did some research on causes for low creatin and low urea.

      Oh, lovely, another knitter!  What are your favorite things to knit?  I love knitting lace.  Lace doileys and shawls.  And socks, not necessarily lacy though.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      Vitamin D acts as a hormone and influences other hormones if the Vitamin D level is at eighty nmol/l or above.   I had a lot of hormone problems when my Vitamin D was in single digits prior to diagnosis of celiac disease.  Vitamin D is needed to keep bones strong and helps regulate the immune system, lowering inflammation.   I used high dose Vitamin D 3 to correct my deficiency quickly.  It's very safe and recommended by doctors.  Take Vitamin D 3, not the D 2 form prescribed frequently.  D2 is not utilized as well as D 3.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D in the body.   Interesting Reading: Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation Can Correct Hypovitaminosis D Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ The short-term effect of high dose vitamin D3 supplementation in improving hypovitaminosis in patients with type 2 diabetes - A randomized clinical trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ The role of vitamin D in menopausal women’s health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10291614/#:~:text=Vitamin D (VD) is known,menopause are also increasingly prominent.

      Yes my main goal is to  eat a guarantee  gluten free food but unfortunately I am in A very difficult situation I try to never eat gluten even if I am gonna stay hungry.i am living in the UAE with my aunt and her kids , husband and my grandma and uncle big in a small apartment,my mom is in Sudan due to her work so we can afford education here . I am now studying hard so I can get a scholarship somewhere else ,I can't work until I am 18 and basically I have no other income for me as I am still not 18 , so my mom send me an allowance every month and i buy gluten-free protein powders,nuts , dates and things i can hide and eat when I am hungry .I recently got an iron infusion and my blood tests where very bad low urea low creatine and many other deficiencies.my main priority is to stay gluten free for 3 months and then start taking vitamins,( I take oral iron every other day because the IV made my iron in the normal range but not enough I still feel dizziness and fatigue.I just want people to recommend for me things I can eat or vitamins that are easily absorbed when I need them quickly .

      Thanks for explaining your situation in more detail. You are in a difficult place it seems, not having the control you need over what you eat. What are the possibilities in the foreseeable future of you finding another living situation where you have more control over your diet? You are seventeen so soon you will be an adult. What is in your future? Education? Employment. I can see now that your main impediment to health and healing is not vitamins and supplements but being able to consistently eat gluten free.
