Weight loss

Hi,

 I have been loosing weight gradually in the last 8 -10 months and experience diarrhea once a day , cramps, and yellow mushy stool in the last month. 

I'm cutting out dairy and oats . I'm a bit worried that my weight will decrease , i cannot afford to loose anymore body weight . 

I would also like to know if your body will stop loosing weight ?

I have stopped consuming gluten immediately after my visit to the Doctor.  The Doctor suggested that i cut out gluten until my results , just to see if my simptome's subside.

its to  soon to see results so i will have to weight for my results , only got tested yesterday . 

Many thanks

Were you consuming normal amounts of gluten up until the blood antibody test draw? Going gluten free before testing will likely invalidate the results.

Give it time. If you have celiac disease there is damage to the small bowel lining, where the nutrients from our food is absorbed. Once you go gluten free there should be healing of the lining and a return to more normal nutrient absorption. As far as cutting out oats and dairy, there are lots of substitutes. For hot cereal, consider buckwheat groats. Buckwheat is highly nutritious and is the seeds from a plant related to rhubarb. It is delicious. Calories from starches can also come from potatoes and rice. Nuts are high in calories. Soy milk is a good substitute for dairy. There are lots of options but if you are a picky eater it will be more of a challenge.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
