Gaining Weight When I Exercise...is It Causing Problems With My Metabolism And Celiac

Before I was diagnosed in Dec. I was gaining wieght even when I would eat very little. I would have to exercise on the eliptical an hour a day and weightlift and eat very little just to stay the same wieght. I notice now that I am gluten-free that I am not as hungry and do not eat as much. I think my body does not think it is starving anymore and my metabolism went back to normal?

HOWEVER, I started exercising 2 weeks ago and I have gained 5 pounds since I started. Do you think my body is not fully healed and exercising trips up my metabolism to think that I am starving again and then I am holding on to calories?

Also, I noticed that my hair started falling out again since I started exercising. I fell out before I was diagnosed and stopped after I stopped eating gluten.

I am so confused. I am eating the same amount as before I started exercising yet I am gaining weight.

Exercise would cause a weight gain if you are building muscle. It would not cause your hair to fall out.

dont know much but ill tell you what i do, the less you eat the more your motabolism slows down so you are gonna find it hard if your not eating enough. if your doing weights you will put on wieght as yor bulking up and muscle weighs more than fat. sorry i cant tell you morebut it may help if you speak to robb in sports and fitness, he knows his stuff.

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
