I have always been large.. Right before I was diagnosed I was able to loose 20 lbs, I have gained that back going gluten-free, but have not gained any additional since going gluten-free, and that is surprising being that I eat chocolate and potato chips like they are going out of style. I have huge issues with actually cooking and most often I turn to convience foods for meals rather than cooking... so lunches tend to be a chocolate bar and coffee. Dinner I usally get some nutrition... I still feel I have absorption issues because of i did not.... i should be huge.

Have you thought of investing in a crock pot? It really is easy to cook with. Eating as you are will make the villi take a lot longer to heal and could set ylou up for other serious illnesses or even just colds and flu.

If you hate cooking, maybe you can pay someone to cook for you? Since you were diagnosed you might be able to get financial help with this?? Or maybe you have a good friend you can do a trade with?

Whoever does it, cooking a lot at once is one solution and then putting it in separate containers in the fridge so its readily available.

I guess in the final anaylsis you have to figure what your health is worth to you.

Meanwhile you should be taking vit. D, B complex (I have to take the more absorbable co-enzyme kind). magnesium, a good calcium (citrate or E-zorb), C, E, liquid sea minerals, and kelp caps. I also suggests taking marshmallow caps and slippery elm caps plus something like dandelion caps alternating with milk thistle extract (silymarin) caps. Plus digestive enzymes like bromelain/papain and pancreatin.

It will help a lot. The mag. may make it so you don't crave the chocolate quite so much. the first herbs help both sooth the raw gut and heal it plus the latter herbs help your liver deal with the likely leaky gut toxicity situation. The enzymes are essential to digesting your food better and also help heal the inflammation in the gut. The vitamins are needed esp. due to malabsorption--and are essential to many things including thought processes, nerves, digestion, good bones, skin etc. etc.

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if...

      hi, how are u now? any answers?

      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
