Welcome to the forum, and to a celiac diagnosis.

Was your weight loss prior to your diagnosis? Or in the last month?  It will take a little while on the gluten free diet for your small intestine to heal and absorb nutrients properly

Well I also have a thyroid problem I’ve been taken Synthroid for over 20years . Every time I went for my check up I always mention the weight loss ,but the past month constantly lost weight . I had the endoscopic and that said damage to the small intestine.

@Peace lily,

Insufficient Thiamine B1 can cause unintended weight loss.  The thyroid gland uses lots of Thiamine.  A B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D supplements should help.  Malabsorption of essential vitamins and minerals occurs with intestinal damage.  Supplementing with vitamins and minerals boosts your ability to absorb these.

It may take many months for your intestines to fully heal, and this article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
    • Churro
      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week. 
    • trents
      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done recently?

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
