Whole Body Inflammation

I just wanted to see if I am on track with my recovery and if anyone else has experienced this.

During the first three weeks of my new diet, I lost inches off every portion of my body through the process of heavy sweating. I had had a sponginess that I always thought was just fat. Now, when I feel my ribcage, I can actually feel my bones and muscles.

Is this pretty normal? I know most with the disease are much thinner than I am, but I was wondering if others have gone through this same process once off gluten.

Thanks.

Sounds to me like you may have been experiencing some fluid retention. That is common for individuals with Celiac.

Glad you're feeling better!

Yep that was the case for me. I went from a size 14 to a 4 within a month and even lost a shoe size. Since my fluid retention was pretty spread out over my whole body it was never really noticed by my doctors. They did notice my bloated belly but just told me to excercise as I was 'out of shape'.

I gained 20 pounds like nothing after my son was born... Lost 5-10 so far, it bounces... I think mine is mostly water weight... Still trying to figure out how to lose it... I know that eating corn makes the scale jump so I believe it makes me retain...

I ballooned out years ago when I first starting having major symptoms. Was heavy for a few years. Lost story short, I got a divorce, a busy job, & I was happy... Lost 55 lbs in about 3 months.

These days exercise is difficult. I keep busy but I have a bad back (caused from that job) so just thinking of jumping on the bike makes me hurt... lol I go to a specialist Tuesday so hopefully it'll get easier... I'm sure it would atleast help me lose the water retention..

Congrats on the weight loss! :)

this was definitely the case for me! my upper thighs were SO sensitive to just a light touch. i lost 1/2 inch off my stomach just from the inflammation. i can actually see muscles definition again in my legs and arms. i never really lost any weight but i sure did see a difference in my body!!

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...
