Having Trouble

[Lollie]

Hi- Has anybody continued ro lose weight even after going gluten free?

I'm actually losing faster then I was before. I'm a little scared because I don't need to lose any!

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!!!

I'm new to this so i hope i,m doing this right I hope i do lose wt from going gluten free i,m already over wt and don't have problem with diarrhea like most celiac's do even my doctor thought it was strange when she did my endoscopy and found celiac sprue bx post then had post bld test i'm really concerned because trying to diet and keep gluten free has been a challenge especially when the bread is 150 cal a slice
