How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease?  It can take many months to heal and to begin to absorb nutrients.  You should be able to gain weight once healed.

Okay.  Hopefully, another member can provide you with some smoothies or shakes to drink that are gluten free.  I do not drink those.  To maintain your health, you probably need to make time to prepare some gluten free food.  What about fruit, yogurt, nuts, some vegetables (like cooking a potato in the microwave)?

I aimed for a thousand extra calories a day.  I used a combo of gluten-free pretzels, raisens and nuts and kept them in a bag with me all day. Whenever I thought of it I would eat a handful till they were gone.  I ate them in addition to my regular 3 meals a day which I also tried to make a calorie rich as possible.  Don't know if it would work for you but that tactic got me up to my normal weight in about 3 or 4 weeks.

Protein shakes with nut butters, almond milk and vegan protein powders sip on it throughout the day. I suggest Nutra Key-V-Pro or MRM Veggie elite for main protein blends supplement with extras like Jarrow Plant formula, Jarrow Pumpkin (Pumpkin is high in zinc, magnesium etc. is great for recovery). Focus on a higher fat/protein diet, for me carbs are evil, I use a ketogenic die of high fat and protein to body build. (Check LuckyVitamin.com for these)
Julian Bakery makes some great protein bars, and right now even has a sale on pumpkin and sancha inchi proteins under the peagan protein name. As a bakery owner I developed grain free ketogenic bread of just fats and proteins but you can order one that is about the same from Julian Bakery as they can ship theirs.
Nut butters on everything, avocado on everything, I make grain free nut butter and nut flour based baked goods to throw fats galore in my diet.
Probiotics might be a consideration after some healing, if your gut is still really damaged they can cause complications.

Meal wise I found eggs and omelettes to be a huge things for me and I can throw good amounts of kale, spinach and leafy greens in it, leafy greens are quite important for helping regulate nutrients and hormones. Certain foods should be avoided as a body builder like soy, and a few others. Everyone is different but some have issues with dairy I am lactose intolerant due to damage from my celiac disease (many celiacs can not process dairy very well due to the damaged villi contributing to lack of enough enzymes to break down dairy) but I would suggest to anyone to try removing dairy from their diet for 30-60 days and see if it helps with health. I mean your trying to body build/put on weight what if you body can not fully utilize dairy proteins and you just wasting your time eating it? Whey and Casein can work but in many cases vegan protein powders are better, and I will say egg protein powders and beef protein isolate are much better then either but much more expensive and some people have issues with them.
Another thought if on a high fat/protein diet you might not have enough digestive enzymes to break down all the extra protein/fats. you might consider something like Jarrow Enzymes Plus and Jarrow Bromeline to help you body break down and utilize protein betters.
I have posted a few grain free recipes in the forums that are good,  remember to watch you sugar intake and keep it low, you want to gain muscle mass so keeping your insulin stable is key. Otherwise sugar and and carb loads can contribute to fat gain in unwanted areas.
If your going for a lean muscle weight gain there are a few exercise regimes you should focus on, such as sculpting and light cardio.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
