Losing Weight...i Think

I just realized what was wrong about a week ago and cut out the wheat and gluten altogether. I feel AMAZING! Question tho...I'm starting to lose weight based solely on the feel of my clothes (I don't have a scale). So....is this normal. Wheat products was a fair part of my diet, so I guess some weight loss makes sense. I've started eating other grains....quinoa, long grain rice from whole foods, etc. Thoughts?

it was normal for me- (losing weight after taking wheat & gluten out of my diet). there are studies about Wheat Germ Agglutin contributing to Insulin resistance. and some Celiacs & people with a Gluten Intolerance (even if they have the "D") are heavier or more bloated while still eating gluten because when the body is inflammed- more cortisone is released

so ya- i think it's normal. i've always lost the extra lbs after taking wheat & gluten out.

Congrats on the new gluten-free lifestyle and visual results.

If you truly are a Celiac, now is the time for you body to start absorbing the nutrients that it wasn't getting. Time to help it along with two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen!

While you are in the early stages of your transition, your next habit needs to be a minimum of 80 ounces of water per day. Yeah, I know it sounds like alot... but think about the hours that you are awake. It's really only an 8oz glass or so every hour and a half.

I know, I know.... you'll be going to the restroom alot. But not the type of restroom visits that we all made before we found out we were diagnosed!!! :P

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
