Celiac Disease & Weight Loss

[oldmann1]

I have apparently been suffering a very long time with this disease according the the doctor's belief or assumption. Could disease have lead to my now sudden unententional weight loss. It started this way? I had bouts of sudden weight gains and sudden weight losses all through my past life. Remember, I never found out about my celiac until the last three and half years ago. Up till that point most other doctors but civilian and Government told me to go ahead and eat whatever I like and to exercise daily for weight management. Then, 3 1/2 years ago, the current doctor told me it was Celiac Disease and I went on the Cilac Disease Diet. Even before that time, I suddenly lost all my body weight went down to 123 - 124 lb range. BMI 17.3. With no muscle tone or flesh on my body. You can see all my bones with my shirt off. The current doctor says this is a result of the Celiac, Diabetes, and Hypoglcemia left untreated for so long that caused my current conditions. Whay do you people on this board think? Has anyone else on this board had a sudden unententional weight loss even though you are eating everything the doctor recommends?

Yes! I was losing weight quickly and everybody said I looked great. Even though I was glad to slim down, I began to wonder why. The unquenchable thirst, and ravenous appetite was a dead give away I was diabetic! Geeezzzz! That was 26 years ago. Now a Celiac diagnosis in May 2010...I remember having slight symptoms about 2 years ago. I'm what I've heard called a "silent celiac." My symptoms are fatigue, bloating, gas, depression, anxiety, blah blah blah. No D or V thank goodness. But, as one person said, they would rather have the D and V and KNOW they've been glutened rather than the vagueness of less severe and painful symptoms. I guess this could be a case of the other man's grass is NOT always greener? Good luck to you!
