Weight Gain A Symptom?

Hi all.

I was tested for celiac last week, still waiting for my results.

One thing I have experienced in the last year or so, is unexplained

weight gain. This disease and its process seems to better explain

weight loss, though weight gain is occasionally listed as a symptom.

Anybody have an explanation for the mechanism?

Hi flygirl2003,

In my case I was always hungry and would get hypoglycemic issues if I did not eat every 2-3 hours. I never felt satisfied long after a meal and I would gain weight. Even though I exercised regularly, I had a very hard time losing lbs. Now I don't get hypo symptoms and can last much longer before I need something to eat. This is improving all the time, but if I get glutened I do gain weight right away. I believe it's from the bloating that I get.

Definitely unexplained weight gain is a symptom!!! As I understand it, when you're not absorbing much, your body hangs on to everything that it does get because it's in starvation mode. Once you go gluten-free and start to get your body back in order, your enxplained weight gain may just start to disappear. :D

      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.
