Celia? Unable to Gain weight

Hi All,

I really need your help. I have been suffering from this strange disease. It started 1 year ago when my weight was 56 KG (32 years, male).

I started having bloating and started pooping (absolutely normal) pooping 3 to 4 times a day. I lost 16 kgs weight over the time.

Now after this 1 year, all my problem has subsided. I have almost zero bloating, no pain anywhere. But sometimes I poop 2 times a day and that is more than what I eat I think.

The main problem, my weight is not changing no matter what.

One doc is saying I have IBS, another is saying I have celiac and the 3rd and the last one is saying I have Crohn's.

What could be the reason I am unable to gain weight no matter how hard I am try.

Currently, I am taking only lactobacillus pro biotic to heal my gut.

Any help, any suggestion will be immensely appreciated.

Should I buy a plant-based protein supplement?

Kind regards

deb

First you need to get properly tested for celiac disease, you have to gluten daily for 12 weeks for the test to be accurate, please read.

I have been trying to body build with celiac for a few years, it can be difficult but a few things I have found, is first off plant based protein powders are better and easier on the gut. Blends like MRM Veggie Elite, and Nutra Key V-pro were good (I do custom blends now). Pea protein is high in several key amino acids and iron, Naked Pea and Growing Naturals are my top pics here. Pumpkin Protein is great for recovery and high in zinc, Jarrow is the best priced and top pick for pure, Julian Bakery has a nice cinnamon twist pegan. Sancha Inchi Seed is another good one, you can get it from Julian as unflavored pegan, or MRM makes it. For a nutrient add in targeted for celiac try Pioneer Labs Celiac complete meal, it has some stuff to be easier on the gut, try having a scoop with your meals. ALSO eat plenty of fats like almond butter, avocado, etc. I went to a ketogenic/paleo diet to managed another disease but has enabled me to put on a few lbs of lean muscle since doing it and I feel much better.

Digestive Enzymes can help you get more nutrients from your food and ease digestion, and snacking on nuts, protein shakes (I use coconut milk based high fat ones), or protein bars like Julian Bakery bars between meals can help,
Might consider supplementing b-vitmains, vitamin D, etc.

      I have never been troubled by cider, wine or sherry vinegar but all best avoided to be safe.

      Malt vinegar

      This brings up a question I have. I feel safe with products that specifically say they contain distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar, but I am not sure what to make of those that just say "vinegar". Some of these are store labelled as gluten free, but I don't feel confident. Am I being too picky?

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour ...

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly
