I Cant Gain Weight, Small Appetite! Help

hello everyone

This is the first time on here. though i would give it a try, don't know where else to turn.

i was at a stable 135lbs for years now i am struggling with my wight and my appetite. i was diagnosed about 2years ago with celiac.

The only thing that was helping with an appetite was smoking weed. but that is an expensive habit and i cant afford it no more because i just had a new baby. Now i have a stomach specialist the one that diagnosed me with celiac and i know for a fact that i have it because i break out with rashes and i become violently sick when i consume any form of gluten. anyways i ask him if he could prescribe me some medicinal weed and apparently that is out of the question. he told me that i have nothing wrong with my stomach i have done several tests. barium swallow follow through and stomach camera. I got a hernia in my esophagus from the blowding from the gluten. and i take a acid reduction medication for that and that is under control.

now i have a family history of depression. and i think i have anxity that messes with my appetite and i was on a medication for that for awhile but it didnt help me so i just got off of it a few days ago. it was ciprelax and apparently one of the side effects is weight gain but it didnt do anything for me. now i am at the point where i just want to give up on everything. at my lowest weight of my life 122 it sucks and woke up this morning with barley and energy and i feel right out of it. i am having problems even thinking. and hope that this site will have some body that can help me. now i misses my appointment for a phycitrist that was going to hear what i had to say and maby put me on a medication that could help me with my problem. now i will stop here.

let me know what you think. thanks alot!!!!!!!

Eat fats like raw walnuts, cashews, and pecans. Like a handful throughout the day. Eat half an avocado a day. Gluten free tortilla chips (I can eat half a bag a day lol). Bobs red mill gluten free hot cereal with agave sweetener and flax seeds on top and a banana. Soy yogurt if you tolerate soy. Saute veggies in olive oil. Quinoa pasta with soy cheese (I get Daiya its the only one without dairy proteins even though the others say theyre soy cheese grrr). Make homemade burgers without the buns. Get gluten free cookies and have protein shakes with coconut milk. Eat whole thai young coconuts. Have brown rice with veggies with olive oil on top. Take fish oil supplements. Have yams and potatoes. Fruit, yogurt, with nuts and gluten free chocolate pieces.

Hope that helps!!

I'm so sorry you are feeling that badly.

The list above sounds perfect for both your mood and weight.

Some vitamin deficiencies can cause a person to lose their appetite.

Be sure you take vitamin supplements and get enough B and D.

Can you get your vitamin levels checked?

I have trouble eating too.

Espeically a meal.

I find taking a bite every half hour or so works when I really don't wanna eat.

Make sure you get enough protein. Lack of protein and good fats don't help depression.

I hope you feel better soon.

Congratulations on your new baby!!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
