Calorie Content In Gluten Free

:rolleyes: Hi Everyone: I have only been gluten free for about 6 months. I have been reading the labels on everything now, but I have noticed that the calorie content on the gluten free items is very high. I try not to eat too much of the prepacked items. I am wondering, those of you that have been gluten free for any length of time, have you had trouble maintaining your weight? As any woman, I don't want any added weight.....LOL! So far I have been fine, but I want to stay that way.

Thanks for the replies,

Regards,

Jayne

Hell yeah! I'd be a second goodyear blimp by now if I ate that stuff. I avoid starches and sugars and focus on meat, veggies, fruit, nuts if I can afford the calories, and a few sugar-free treats I make myself.

Yep, I second that...just far too much fat and sugar in the packaged gluten-free stuff. Even the pasta has more calories than the regular stuff! :angry:

An educated guess to why our prepackaged stuff is higher calorie is because it's generally much higher fat, which masks the taste of gluten-free ingredients. :lol:

Limit packaged goodies - the gluten-free versions aren't any better for you health-wise than the regular versions are for regular people. Eat clean - whole foods, less sugar, etc. and save packaged treats for treats.

I can eat as much as i want because when i eat carbs i do not eat any protein in the same day and i start out with fruit. If i eat protein, i don't eat any carbs.

I'm confused. Why exactly would that make food healthier?

lol. it doesn't make it healthier, it makes it where calories don't count :)!!!! I love splurging on as much gluten free cookies that i want. It's nice to eat things that we normally can't gluten free and not worry about gaining weight.....it is the beverly hills diet and i recommend the first book..it is amazing, at least following the rules. In fact the rules are listed below for your convienence, so you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight!!!

GOOD POINT! Can you specify some of the products you're talking about? Breads? Cereals? Or are you talking pre-packaged meals or something?

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
