Loss of appetite

[lhu7]

I have been diagnosed with celiac for 3yrs. I have been doing pretty good overall. One thing that’s stumps me is that I am never really that hungry and nothing sounds good to me. I am a pretty picky eater because I don’t like fruits and most vegetables except for a few.

Yes, I have the same issue when I first got diagnosed my stomach was so irritated I just didn't feel like eating, I lived off of rice lost a lot of weight. I was diagnosed about 8 years ago now and I still have days where I just don't feel like eating, I actually went a while without doing so, but nowadays I force myself to eat even if its just a little to stay healthy. But yes I understand exactly what you mean.

Sometimes loss of appetite can be caused by vitamin deficiencies. I suggest you research this. Here are a couple of starter links:

Are you taking any supplements? Have you had any follow-up antibody testing or a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing in the small bowel villi. After three years that should have happened by now. How committed are you to avoiding gluten?

Yes, I am taking a daily mulivitamin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, magnesium, Quercetin, Acetyl Cysteine. I just had a re-checkup endoscopy and colonoscopy  in May and everything looks good except for my dischardides. I am very committed to avoiding gluten!

I would suggest adding a gluten-free high potency B-complex to that mix.
