Its easier for me to gain weight it seems. But I am still hungry all the time!

For the first 7-months of being gluten-free I pretty much stayed at the same weight no matter what or how much I ate. Now in my 8th month I have finally gained a few pounds back (which I hope is a sign that my intestine's are healing?).

I think it's different for everyone. I guess the main thing is if you are feeling better than that's good.

Best Of Luck!

Hi VydorScope,

Thyroid problems are common among celiacs. Has your doctor checked your levels? Hypothyroidism is too slow of a thyroid causing weight gain among many other symptoms. Hyperthyroid is too fast. There is also thyroiditis, and Hashimoto's thyroid disease. You can google them to check it out to see if you need to be tested.

Vydorscope,

I have had trouble with my weight as well once I went gluten-free. I have put on the weight, but my appetite had increased quite a bit, initially. I was wondering if the other flours that are used in our gluten-free stuff has a greater amount of carbs than wheat flour? I have cut out a lot of the gluten-free breads that I was eating and have included a little more exercise than before and seem to be maintaining my current weight, albeit I am still 10 pounds more than I ever weighed before. It's probably an individual thing more than anything else I think, because I have also read that several still have difficulty gaining weight. Funny what are bodies will do! :unsure:

Its just before going gluten-free I was losing wieght fast, such that I littelry was eating very high carb foods just to get to a level that would keep me stable... since going gluten-free I have cut out all thouse high carb foods, not even gluten-free Breads realy... and I am up about 6 pounds now. Granted 6 pounds is nothing on my frame, and I am sure I can get it back under control (...err hope LOL) before its is somthing... just wondering if thats a sign that my body is healing and if it helps support the celiac disease diag?

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
