I've been sick with different diagnoses all my life. Since January I've lost about 35 lbs, due to a virus, then recently diagnosed with celiac by biopsy. Can anyone give me any hints on putting some weight back on so I am not so weak? Thanks so much

I must be an expert :D LOL ... without meaning to be... !

But if you need to put on some weight then eat regularly but not to much so as to feel over full. Sumo wrestlers eat mainly vegetable soup... and then sleep after.

Im usually trying to loose weight but did get really underweight at one point and I just reversed general diet advice ... be warned stop before you achieve your ideal weight because it doesn't just stop! (I speak from experience)

If your OK with cheese then ... say no more.

My crash weight gain diet has a mexican theme ... because you can add guacamole and sour cream to everything and both avocado's and obviously creme are full of calories (and vitamins) and almost everything is easily gluten-free... corn tortillas etc. If you really want to push out the calories chimichanga topped with sour cream and cheese and guacamole but seriously don't do it everyday!

The main thing I honestly think is just try and have lots of small snacks and not over face yourself .. I got myself in a real state where I hated food .. because it kept getting me ill and used to not eat for 2-3 days in a row (really stupid I know) but I was just terrified of getitng gluten and was forced into an environment where I couldn't get anything safe.. I eventually quit the job!

Anyway afterwards I used to overface myself so I ended up with lots of small meals because if you try eating a lot ytou end up leaving it or gagging.

Try eating just reasonable amounts of fat though .. its not so good in general but I understand your need to put the weight back on ...

If you like wine try crinking a little when you eat ... just a small glass.... make the whol ething as enjoyable as possible ... and look on the bright side ... I'd love to be able to have that right now... but my weight says I don't have enough hours in the day to exersize a chimichanga and all the trappings off!

Thanks for the response gpf. I will really try and eat some smaller meals. I love mexican too! I just forget to eat and when my tummy starts growling I wander in the kitchen and look in the fridge and wonder what I can eat, so sad :( Anyways I have found some gluten-free food lists online and take them to the store with me when I shop, So I have some snacks and other things I can cook. Thanks for the advise.

In addition to the previous excellent advice one thing that also helped us was (if you are okay with dairy) add 2 Carnation Instant breakfast packets (the ready made is not gluten-free nor is chocolate malt) to a glass of milk them add your favorite gluten-free ice cream. I would have one with breakfast and one before bed. They are over 500 calories each so that's a tasty 1000 calories a day. Got me back to a good weight quickly

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce...

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
