      In fact, funny idea, my partner suggested I shld model for the over 50s section, and do it now b4 I start piling on the pounds - if only that would happen! It is over a year now... I am 48kg and should be 54-55, that was my wooonderful Perfect weight before....:( Nothing lasts for ever, as the song goes... To those out there who have a little more rather then less fat on them - celebrate it! Is Healthy!

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.

      A big Thank you! To all who replied. V informative and interesting. Re VitD, mine was always good, between 60 and 70. Then on the Bone Support Supplements by Natures Plus it jumped to 90, 110 and then over that! I was getting to be VitD toxic... As the supps had 25mcg VitD, which was obviously enough to tip me over... I always go out with shorts whwnever the sun pops out to make sure I get it naturally. They say the activated form of D3 ie. Cholecalciferol is used as the strongest rat poison that exists! I also only eat wild caught salmon, only organic, no sugar, bad fats etc etc.... In fact I am 50 yet people think am 35 and am sure is partly genetic but mostly diet(!). But is Not helpful when I need my GP to take my issues seriously.  Interesting about the oestrogen theory! Will research further, thanks! And thank you to you who suggested the thiamine B1 deficiency, it is only a small possibility as I have Loads of B1 in my diet, but is an interesting theory and thiaminase is smthg I will look into! Also thank you to the London person who sent me a VitA test link. I was told these home kits are not worth thr money;( In fact I plan to go abroad where you get every micro and macronutrient as well as all minerals and vita checked for 350euros! Is absolutely crazy London has nothing like that. I did a hair mineral test here, which was interesting, and even that they send off to a lab in Florida!

      @Celiac50, Other than finding foods that make your tummy happy, are you feeling well?  No other symptoms?  That's great progress! You don't mention vitamin D status.  Vitamin D deficiency in the UK has been estimated to be as high as 60% of the population. Celiac Disease causes depleted oral vitamin D from malabsorption.  Most people do not get enough UV light to activate skin creation of vitamin D. Vitamin D supplementation in the United Kingdom: time for change Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought It looks like you are going to have to try changing out food by food, until you find the one.  Start with the supplements.      Wild caught vs. farm raised?  Sometimes it is just a subtIe change that can do it. I know that switching to grass fed milk has been good for me.

      The incidence of autoimmune diseases in general, including celiac disease, has increased.  There are various theories as to why. The environment we live in, diet we eat, toxins we’re exposed to, stress levels, activity levels and infectious diseases to which we are exposed are all quite different now. A robust immune system that would have been an advantage thousands of years ago may be a bit too robust for modern life.
