Hi - Lots of people here have gone through the weight loss after starting the diet. I'm not one of them :( and can't give you an insight, but keeping checking back. You'll get plenty of suggestions and support.

I continued to lose wait also. I found that Ensure (a high protien drink) was both gluten-free and good for maintaining weight. Actually, it put me into a weight gain mode so you have to be careful.

Good Luck! :)

I have lost weight and continuing to do so and yes I need to, if I get glutened in the minutest form. I gain five pounds instantly.

Laura,

I lost 25 poinds in 3 months after going gluten-free... (210 to 185)

Somefolks lose weight because of the loss of all those carbs (South Beach effect)...

I eventually began to get back to my normal weight after a few months....

Thanks! I was thinking maybe I was doing something wrong....It kind of took me by surprise when I weighed. I thought that if my body was able to absorb nutrients better, I would gain weight. But looking back at my previous diet, it was all high carb, high fat, low nutrient. So it makes since that a leaner, more protein diet would cause you to lose weight. I will try the ensure!

Thanks to all who responded so quickly, it really does help!!!

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services?   There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans.   Look into trade schools.  Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion.  Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing.   I agree with @Scott Adams.  Play your cards close to your chest.  Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now.  Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott...

      @badastronaut, I'm so glad you got your folate and zinc up! I'm a big fan of Benfotiamine.  It's a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  I take 250 mg Benfotiamine with the first two meals of the day along with a B 50 Complex.  The B vitamins all work together so taking a B Complex with Benfotiamine is great.  I also take a form of thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with brain function, anxiety and depression.  Start off with small doses (50 mg) and increase doses as long as you see improvement.     https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/#:~:text=Benfotiamine (Fig.,]%2C [62]].

      Help needed

      @nanny marley, I had great improvement by supplementing with a B Complex and extra thiamine in the form Benfotiamine which promotes intestinal healing.  I followed the AutoImmune Protocol Diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  The AIP diet removes everything from the diet that can be irritating or hard to digest.  After a period of time to heal, other foods are slowly added back into the diet if tolerated.   For more stories of my journey, read my blogs by clicking on my name and choosing activities in the dropdown menu.

      SSRI stopped working after gluten free diet due to Celiac diag

      Hi @Redlima My anxiety hit before diagnosis, and in fact it was anxiety which led me to see a doctor who put me on the road of various blood tests which revealed iron deficiency, raised globulin levels and borderline B12.  At first my GP suspected a type of cancer, and didn't really know what else to make of it until about six months down the road when I started to get diarrhea and was losing weight.  That then led another GP to do more tests and coeliac disease was the culprit. Clinical anxiety can be very scary indeed and I suffered with a horrible, irrational phobia at that time, too.  I could hardly think straight.  My GP put me onto citalopram but also, thankfully, I found a couple of books that...

      So after  a long time in which I got my zinc and folic acid levels back on track I will now start with taking Thiamine to see if that does anything. According to my blood levels I'm not low on Thiamine but, if I understand correctly, blood works are not the best way to find out if there is a Thiamine shortage. How much Thiamine should I take to start with? 100 mg?
