Hi all,

I am new to the forum. I was recently re-diagnosed with Celiac. Back in 2000 I was having major stomach issues. Nausea, stomach pain, everything that I ate seemed to upset my stomach, diarrhea, constipation and bloating. I did blood work and they told me I had tested positive for celiac. Doc told me to go gluten free. I did for about 6 months solid. We did a biopsy, which tested negative. So he told me that I wasn

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! Losing weight is a classic symptom of celiac. Then there are also people who gain weight. After I was gluten free for a several months, my appetite seemed to decrease. I think for me was because of improved absorption of nutrients, and of course taking more vitamins/minerals. I didn't really lose weight, just didn't eat as much, and wasn't as hungry. But everyone is different in how it affects them.

Depending on what's included in your new gluten free diet, your weight loss may be a side affect - of healthier eating! We sort of went the opposite way at first - over compensating for what we were taking out of our son's diet (and thus ours because we have a gluten-free house) with things like candy bars, muffins, pancakes, baked goods galore, etc. Once we got over the initial "let's eat everything we can that's gluten-free" we went back to our more healthy diet of more fruits and veggies. If you skipped our binge phase, you may just be losing weight because you're eating better.

Or maybe you're eating less because you're having trouble finding foods you like. If that's the case, keep looking! There's lots out there!!

Good luck finding the cause and welcome to group!

I lost 10lbs in the month before my biopsy. After I went gluten free in the end of Oct. '08, I also went on a binge on trying the gluten free stuff. I was baking so much that I gained back the 10lbs I lost. Now things have lost their novelty and am more cosistent and make healthier choices. I still bake but now it's more of a treat. I also started vitamin D supplements due to deficiency in Jan. That has made a big difference. I now have energy and have started to exercise. I think I am starting to loose some weight but it is now a more gradual and healthy weight loss. I still have around 25+ lbs to go.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce...

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
