ive had to cut out gluten, dairy, soy and eggs and nuts from my diet and am starting to look very thin - i wanna gain some weight back. before i developed stomach problems i was 161 lbs and now im 146 lbs. what can i do to put weight back on? are there meal replacement drinks that are free of all allergans? also i might have a new job that requires a lot of travel and cant worry about finding a healthy restaurant whenever im on the road. any advice? thx

You might try rice milk or hemp milk. They are good in tea lattes, for example, or heated with a bit of cinnimon and nutmeg, and agave nectar or honey or something. That usually puts a few pounds on me.

Avocados are also good.

i lost like 40 puonds after my first jaw surgery (since i was on a liquid diet) and it took me about a year to put all that weight back on.

i used this a lot, "Contains no corn, egg, gluten, soy, sugar, wheat or yeast, so Vega is also very much allergen-friendly, too!"

      New Celiac Disease patient & new to this group-Questions

      Hi Everyone, I was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease and I am also new to this group. I am overwhelmed by thinking of all the products you ingest including prescription medications, and even toothpaste. Do people contact the manufacturer ? What toothpaste is gluten-free? I was able to find a chewing gum that was gluten-free. Any help or direction would...

      Can you be specific about what supplements you are taking? The form of a supplement can be critical in how well it is absorbed. Many over the counter vitamin and mineral supplements are optimized for shelf-life rather than absorbability. For instance, take magnesium. On the store shelves you will often see Magnesium oxide or Magnesium citrate. Magnesium glycinate...

      Actually, it's an opioid hit. Gluten attaches to opioid receptors we have throughout our bodies including our digestive systems. That opioid hit from gluten attaching to opioid receptors is probably why some people don't have gastrointestinal symptoms. Some people feel worse after going gluten free because they are no longer consuming exogenous opioids...

      Can you be specific about what supplements you are taking? The form of a supplement can be critical in how well it is absorbed. Many over the counter vitamin and mineral supplements are optimized for shelf-life rather than absorbability. For instance, take magnesium. On the store shelves you will often see Magnesium oxide or Magnesium citrate. Magnesium glycinate is a much better choice. Same with zinc. Zinc picolinate is a much better choice than zinc oxide. Same with B12, Thiamin, etc. This can be critical when your absorption efficiency is already compromised by celiac disease. You should research best vitamin and mineral formulations for absorbability.  Routinely, we recommend on this forum the following combination of supplements to counteract nutritional deficiencies from long-term untreated celiac disease: B12 sublingual, B-complex, D3 (5-10k IU daily), magnesium glycinate, zinc picolinate. If you are taking an iron supplement, drink something acidic with it like orange or tomato juice or a vitamin C tablet to increase absorption.  As the villous lining of your small bowel heals from the gluten-free diet, your absorption efficiency will improve. In the meantime, the only way to combat poor absorption efficiency is to flood the small small bowel with more concentration of vitamins and minerals.

      Actually, it's an opioid hit.  Gluten attaches to opioid receptors we have throughout our bodies including our digestive systems.  That opioid hit from gluten attaching to opioid receptors is probably why some people don't have gastrointestinal symptoms.  Some people feel worse after going gluten free because they are no longer consuming exogenous opioids from gluten. We also have opioid receptors in our brains which can account for brain fog.  Remember that antibodies against gluten attack not only the gluten on the receptors, but also our own tissues because structural elements in our cell membranes resemble gluten.  In our digestive systems, our villi, the anemone like projections that absorb nutrients, are damaged.  Same type of thing in the tissue of the brain.  People with gluten ataxia tend to produce tTg 6 IgA antibodies.  Diagnostic blood tests for Celiac test for tTg 2 antibodies from the intestines.  People with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's also produce tTg 6 antibodies although they may not have Celiac Disease.   Gluten is not just an addiction, it's a health hazard to us.
