I've been biopsy diagnosed with Celiac Disease for 5 months. My weight has continued to drop in spite of the gluten free diet. My bowel habits have returned to normal. Any ideas on gaining weight and being gluten free?

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in June/2003 and my weight at the time was around 330 pounds. I had gained all this weight after having two back surgeries in August/2001, that left me initially paralized on my left side from the waist down because of a disk fragment that was pushed into my spine unfortunatly. Before my surgeries I weighed about 200 pounds but during my recovery I had started to gradually gain all that weight through the next couple of years. I have now lost 118 pounds since I have been on the gluten free diet. I've been gluten free for 4 1/2 years now and I have to say this is the only diet I ever had any luck on! LOL!

The best thing I did was to start seeing a nutritionist that specialized in Celiac Disease and gluten free diets. She was able to answers all my dietary questions and get me on the right track. You should be able to have one referred to you by your physician or from the physician's referral at your local hospital. Good luck! :)

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.
