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.

In 2011 i was diagnosed celiac problem but in 2015 i completely avoided gluten

 I also gained weight but now i cant take proper diet so i am loosing weight rapidly. Please suggest me gluten-free weight gainer because i donot have enought time for consuming meals.

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.

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers? 
    • Scott Adams
      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?

      same! how amazing you have a friend who has celiac disease. i find myself wishing i had someone to talk about it with other than my partner (who has been so supportive regardless)
    • RMJ
      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.
