When Can I Start Dieting?

I don't think it's wise to start "dieting" immediately after going on the gluten-free diet, (too many changes at once!) and I am wondering how long I should get the gluten-free diet under my belt before adding weight watchers (or something) back in my routine. I've got about 40 pounds to lose and I've been gluten free for about 4 months.

Hi there!

I agree that it can be a bit overwhelming to try to tackle too many things at once!

I think it's a very personal thing and really only you can decide. If you feel pretty comfortable with eating gluten free, I think you'd be fine to begin to decrease calories or use Weight Watchers, whatever your decision is. It may take different periods of time for each individual to take that step.

Having said that-no time like the present! Best wishes!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
