can't gain weight ????

[fllstuart77]

1 year gluten free...   ttg at 10...  dropped from 120's....  weak positive range. . normal 0 - 3..

haven't gained a pound since going gluten free..  

I didn't really lose much weight before i was diagnosed and still eating gluten.. I only lost maybe 4 pounds....    I even gained 3 pounds while still eating gluten....

Then after going gluten free I lost like 7 pounds and haven't gained anything since....

So it's not clear from your post what your goal is, are you trying to gain more weight? If so, there are lots of higher calorie foods that can help.

i need to gain back 10 pounds  😔

A lot of people here have used gluten-free protein powder to help gain more muscle mass, which is heavier than fat. Adding more calories to your diet by snacking more often is another way that should help.

i tried that.. i used a vegan certified gluten free gainer.. 1,200 calories per serving..  i took it for a month..  didnt look it put a pound on me

After years of undiagnosed Celiac caused malabsorbtion, you may still be deficient in vitamins and minerals. Unless you focus on them it may take years to replenish. Here is an article that looks at vitamins as a cause of weight gain. It seems to be written for people who can't lose weight, but his list includes vitamins frequently seen in Celia Disease malabsorption syndromes. Vitamin A, B, C, and my favorite vitamin D.

If not too invasive, what is your BMI?

my BMI is 20.5

BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Looks good the way you are. Watch more TV reruns pre 1965 and set the screen aspect to 4:3 when appropriate. A 4:3 show watched on a 16:9 screen makes everyone fatter. Some stations adjust, some do not. Notice how skinny everyone looks compared to our current body image. Buy new clothes to fit your new image.

so you're saying i was actually over weight before 🤣

either way.. it doesn't explain why I cant gain any weight

[Wheatwacked]

Not at all. What you have now is something that many people are envious of. The holy grail of weight loss. It takes a while for your appistat to readjust. Maybe more fatty foods like avocado. When I was younger I could out eat everyone and not gain weight. A properly operating digestive system will take what you need and leave the rest.

Two more things you might try. 60 grams (2 oz) almonds has 100% rda of vitamin E and 347 calories. One tsp Cod Liver Oil fulfills all your vitamin A and has omega 3 at 40 calories.

I eat a huge tablespoon of almond butter every single morning for breakfast along with some 2 large bananas ....     and drink Silk almond milk during the day...

I might just not be healed yet enough to be gaining...   my celiac was still technically on at my last blood test even at only 10 antibody level...

My doctor said he has patents coming back in 15 pounds overweight after healing

that aint me
