Stubborn Weight Gain

Losing weight has always been difficult for me. It seems to have nothing to do with how much I eat or how little I eat. Within my gluten and other allergy limitations, I've tried lowering carbs and several other obvious techniques. But it won't budge. Even moderate exercise doesn't seem to impact it. Anyone tried anything innovative that worked in stubborn cases like mine? I've been wondering if it will eventually start to drop when I've been gluten free long enough. It's been a year. Anyone have that experience, like a delayed reaction weight loss? When I found out I had gluten issues a year ago, I thought for sure that my weight would finally improve with my new diet. If anything, I gained slightly. Now I've recently eliminated ALL grains in case they are an issue. So far still no success. Just interested in your experiences. Thanks!

This is sorta hot topic item, but...have you had your thyroid checked?

Please get your thyroid checked. This is a major symptom. Very common in celiacs. You need to get the full panel including the thyroid peroxidase antibody test which looks for autoimmue hypothyroidism (hashimotos). Read website mentioned above as well as dr.lowe.com.

Thanks for the replies concerning thyroid. I've been checked frequently, even with very sensitive blood tests by a hormone specialist and saliva tests by a naturopath. It always comes back perfect. My temperature is nearly normal and not remarkably low. And my weight is not distributed in the typical hypothyroid pattern either.

Adreanal fatigue? If it isn't thyroid...

Something has shut down the metabolism and there are quite a few different medical reasons as possibilities -- Thyroid is #1 on that list.

Maybe a read through The Diet Cure by Julia Ross

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
