Gluten Free 85% Dairy Free Vegans Want To Lose Weight?

:D I am still determined to lose weight. I am appreciate any weight loss thread of encouragement and want to pass it on. If you are on a restricted diet and want to give it a go let's do it. I am a gluten free 85% dairy free and vegan which means I spend a lot time looking up new recipes and making up recipes. I am unable to exercise right now but not forever and eating healthy is numero uno! Eat very healthy just too much - I love to eat but not more than my health or weight. . My weight loss goal is 20 pounds. My first goal is 5 pounds. I have been a life member of weight watchers and this has been the only diet I can follow that is in moderation and lose weight however - I am finding it is an awful lot of work to document all my recipes for points etc. I guess counting calories would be hard too. I am proposing a weigh in day and daily inspiration online can happen anytime with just encouragement or recipe sharing etc. I like Wednesdays for my weight in day because it is in the middle of the week and the weekend is not too far away for mishaps. The hard time I having with WW this time is I have to look up all the "alternative" foods we eat. Anyone up for it? come on in and share . Postively successful diet here we come!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
