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! :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
