Can Anyone Give Advice,help Or Even Relate With Gluten Free Weight Gain And Health Problems

After reading this forum I see I am not alone in a huge weight gain After going gluten free allot of people loose weight but I gained.It is truly depressing.I suspect that when people go gluten free our bodies are so depleted of minerals due to leaky gut issues,underlying candida and even other underlying hormone imbalances like low thyroid and PCOS which research has shown is directly linked with gluten intolerance.When we first go gluten free we are so starving that counting carb grams and weighing out portions of food is the farthest thing from our minds.I read in the book BLOOD SUGAR BLUES that they use rice,corn,potatoes to fatten pigs,well no wonder why it seems to have the same affect on humans since pigs are very closely related to humans genetically.Anyway thats my take on it.I think allot of us over eat rice and grains,I know that I do and I have had major weight gain and issues with candida,environmental allergies,Ibs,low thyroid,pcos etc.I am now at the obesity level it is depressing to be weak and sick and then be gaining weight.I still have allot of mineral deficiences due to malapsorbtion and Chronic diarrhea.I aslo have CFIDS Chronic fatigue.I think that allot of us emphasize rice and potatoes which are extremely high glycemic and increase insulin leves.Grains are addicting and comforting,I love curling up to a bowl of rice pasta or rice toast or baked potatoes etc.But these foods are stored as fat.I have noticed allot of people from european decent especially do bad on excess carbs,portion control is boring and it sucks but its amazing how small a serving of rice is!and rice isnt filling unless u eat a plate of it,and a plate of rice is like 5 portions! I think we need to learn to portion control and balance our meals so that they have a balanced ratio of protein fat and carbs.This is my thinking after the research I did.I tried the SCD diet very strictly it made me sick at the time because I was trying to eat the dairy,eggs,cheese and nuts and I am allergic to those,I had just come off a long term vegetarian diet and wasn't ready to add all the meat.But I know it helps many,just didn't for me it was miserable I followed it for 2 months.Now I am trying to transition into a candida style diet but it is so hard because I am pyschologically and physically addicted to carbs and go through major depression and with drawl,so I need to reduce them rather then cut them entirely for a period of time but its very difficult.I feel like I am so restricted already with intolerances to so many foods.And I am weak and pale

There's another thread going now regarding sugar and flour that you should read. There are those of us that feel we are addicted to them and so we avoid them for the most part. I, for one, have eliminated flour and sugar for the time being and I am losing weight and am so in control, the cravings are gone. I have been yo-yoing all of my life and so who knows what will happen this time. Maybe it will be the last time I will have to do this. I am going to think of sugar/flour as being as harmful to me as gluten is. I do not have any trouble staying away from gluten at all. Best of luck to you....Barbara

I have PCOS and am addicted to carbs as well. The addiction to carbs was horrible a year and a half ago, but it's getting better. It's a mental thing and I'm teaching myself to view the foods as if they were cauliflower, which I despise. bleh!!

Rachelle,

I would also be interested in the list you created. I am having a hard time with carbs too. I love potatoes, rice, pasta. I've been gaining weight. My doctor says I need to eat differently because my triglicerydes are so high. Any advice would be welcome. I'm frustrated.Here's my email: hisevr@yahoo.com.

Hi, I would be so happy to get anyone the information I have compiled, but I can't get onto the forum as often as I'd like, so please email me and I will forward it to you. rlmcfarland@yahoo.com In order for the information to be more accurate for you, I need the following: age, current height and weight, activity level-what do you do for exercise and how frequently-any restrictions for exercise, dietary restrictions other than gluten and foods that you love (can't live without) and hate. With this info, I can give you a more accurate plan--it varies SO MUCH from person to person. I can then get the info to you within a day or 2. It's a lot of information, so read through it carefully and slowly. You might want to start with one thing at a time.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
