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.

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.

      About 5 Months ago I got a little bit sick and since then I have been having trouble focusing, rembering, thinking thought through, having pressure on my head and even just talking to friends normaly has become a challange. I also have been having yellowish poops. My father was has celiac but I am not sure if thats what is causeing my problems becasue I dont have any abdomnial pain like him. i have also tried going gluten free for a week with no results, but maybe i just need to try for longer. I have gone to doctors but they haven't had really any ideas as to whats wrong with me they just say it could be anything and try this drug maybe it will work. I really am tired of feeling terrible all the time and if any one knows if these symptoms are common to celiac or has any other ideas whats wrong with me please let me know.
