I'm 15 yrs old and I have lost a lot of weight! I can't seem to gain it back, I am trying to eat a lot of high calorie foods, I ate a lot today and don't feel so good. Does anyone know of any high calorie foods?

Thank you!

Try having a meal replacement drink with your meals. They have alot of calories in them. I think Nestle has gluten-free ones. It will say gluten-free right on the can, I think.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I can have nestle though. I have a lot of other food allgeries as well,I am allgeric to dairy, soy and peanuts. It is hard to find high calorie foods that don't have any of that in it.

I don't think simply consuming high calorie foods is the way to go. Many times those are empty calories. If you can, you should try and seek out a nutritionist. If you want more calories, get them from eat a good diet, just a lot of that diet. At your age your body is growing and can take in one heck of a lot of calories. But that changes one day. :)

avocados

nut butters (walnut, almond)

meat/fish

potatoes (though not particularly nutritious)

good luck!

I second avocados. There are seeds and nuts (if you're not allergic) and they make "butter" out of some nuts, like almond butter or macadamia nut butter. Also you might try dates (the fruit). There are some fatty meats that might be a good choice for you, pork ribs, pork shoulder. You might try using coconut oil or coconut milk. You could make shakes out of full-fat coconut milk and add some frozen fruit.

If you know how to bake you could use almond meal and/or flax meal to bake with. Both very caloric.

Good luck! I'd send you some of my extra fat reserves but they don't want to come off.

I will 3rd avocado's :D

Often more regualr sized meals is better than increasing portion size or just adding calories.

Take small meals and a rest afterwards, Sumo eat mainly vegetable soup ... just lots and sleep after.

Doing exersize will stimulate appetite.

Doesn't it just!

But its true, you are what you eat.

Also, chew your food, eat slowly. Make it easy for your body to extract nutrients from what you eat.

How do you eat an avocado? Like what do you eat and how do you cut it up? I've never had one before and I was just wondering how to eat the thing ha ha.

Make sure you get the avocadoes when they are turning a browner color and they slightly give when pushed on. I like the Haas avocadoes the best. Sam's Club sells them in a pack of 5 alot of the time and they are much cheaper.

I just cut them in half and take the seed out, salt and eat with a spoon. Also they are great if you remove the contents, put on a plate, smash with a fork and salt. Dip corn chips or tortilla's in them. Guacamole is good too, but I don't know the recipe right off hand. YOU could Google a recipe for it. I also slice them and put on sandwiches. Very good. I love them! We also eat them on taco salads, salads and with enchilada's.

Almonds are good nut to eat. You can grind them and put them on hot cereal. That way you get more of them.

Also smoothies made with yogurt are good and you can add Flaxseed oil for fat. I am not sure what kind of yogurt you would add, since you can't have dairy or soy. Maybe Goat yogurt. Do they make that?? Not sure.

I use Frozen Banana's, Frozen strawberries, blueberries, Orange juice, yogurt and flaxseed oil. My kids love these.

HOpe you figure out what works for you. How long have you been gluten free? It takes awhile to heal and sometimes even when you are gluten free you have alot of stomach aches for awhile. Be sure you are being very careful and not getting any cross contamination from gluten ( you may already be doing this).

Avocados are great in scrambled eggs or omelets (I don't recall seeing eggs on your allergy list). I've also been eating a lot of avocados with a little olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and cashews or other nuts as a salad.

I also make chili and heap chunks of avocado on top (instead of cheese or sour cream). Actually, leftover bean chili and avocados make a great omelet stuffing, come to think of it -- and there's lots of weight-gain potential there.

Having written this, I think I might need to go have a second breakfast.

I'm not really sure how long I have been gluten free I think about a month or so...Yesterday I accidentally had soy though so I don't feel the greatest now. Soy is in everything its hard to watch out for it.

Thank you for all the replys. I bought an avocado today so I will have to try it!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
