Initially I lost 40 lbs...now I am 220 lbs and need to lose 60 more lbs. I feel that I dont eat much, I have cut out potatoes and corn considerably. I have been active but still my stomach is like a pigs. It drives me crazy and makes me so depressed. I eat a lot of fish, some nuts and fruits and veggies... I know I need to eat more veggies and exercise more. I have never had a problem like this and feel hopeless. Thanks for listening!

I was overweight for years, and then recently I read, "Primal Body, Primal Mind," which changed my whole understanding of nutrition. The weight has been melting off during the past six weeks, and I'm never hungry and or feel deprived. My tummy is completely gone now! This particular diet is great for people with celiac because it eliminates all grains and increases saturated fat, which helps us absorb fat-soluble vitamins. I highly recommend this book. I was feeling like a complete failure--I'd followed all the so-called "experts'" advice to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, no fat in my diet, and concentrate on lowering calories--and those were the "rules" that set me up for failure. I'm soooo much happier now, and I have tons of energy. Please....look into this book--you won't be sorry.

Yes, Rosetapper23 is absolutely right.

You are going to be amazed if you try Primal eating.

I don't have the book, but you can frequent the websites that advocate this way of eating.

Mark's Daily Apple is absolutely wonderful...full of information and research and dietary suggestions.

Perfect for Celiac's just as she said.

I also go to Caveman Power...it is excellent as well.

Robbwolf.com is another paleolithic site.

It made a huge difference in my recovery and my physical appearance.

I was 200 lbs as a very sick Celiac. I weigh 115 to 120 now with no problem and I eat a LOT!

Give it a month or two and you will see.

They are starting to realize that grains are not good for anyone...not just Celiac's.

It is amazing to read the archives on these sites...plenty of good research and experiences of other's.

Protein makes all the difference.

Meat makes muscle. Even without exercise for me.

So happy!

I have been an attendee and exhibitor at the nation's largest organic trade show for nearly 20 years. I don't remember the presentation, but there have been several presenters over the years who recommend a preservative free diet to combat belly fat. You gave us a sample of what you eat, but there could be some preservatives in the ingredient statement. Try to eat as "clean" as possible and that will bye-bye-belly for you.

When I've actually lost weight in the past and I'm losing now but not as fast as I have before, this is how I try to eat. I believe that things like "diet" soda have "hidden" calories. Think about it, we were made to survive on little because we had to get our food. What we eat should be burnt by what it would take to acquire and prepare that food. With that in mind, the more close to it's natural source a food is, the less calories it SHOULD be. Calories are innaccurate. Sugar is low calorie but it turns into fat as soon as it hits our body.

Smart way to look at it. And, I know we learned this very early in school... but the more fresh produce the better. I know you're going to think that I'm fabricating this, but veggies and fruit taste better after I was diagnosed. I eat it throughout the day.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      That's just it. When they are doing an EGD, even with biopsy, if they aren't thinking about celiac disease they may miss it. They should take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and easily missed if sampling isn't through. And patch damage may explain lack of dramatic symptoms. Let me assure you that we frequently have posters on this forum who were silent celiacs for years and were diagnosed incidentally with celiac disease when their docs were checking for other things. They developed other medical problems such as anemia or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, neurological deficits, Hashimodo's thyroid, osteoporois, etc. - non GI symptoms - but their docs recognized those problems as often connected to celiac disease and had them checked for celiac disease, both blood antibody testing and biopsy, and found damage. A couple of years ago the Mayo Clinic did a large study involving over 300 people. They started with those officially diagnosed with celiac disease and also tested their first degree relatives. They found that almost 50% of  the first degree relatives tested positive for celiac disease and many or most were totally caught by surprise because they were largely asymptomatic. Their diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. I really don't have anything more to say. You have some decisions to make.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Blood tests are affected by what you've had to eat in the previous day or two and any vitamin supplements you've taken in the past month or two.   If you have been taking vitamins before the time of the blood test, the vitamins supplements could mask a deficiency.  So get the tests before supplementing, or allow eight to twelve weeks for the supplements to wear off.    The thing with blood tests is that they measure what is in the blood, not what is stored inside organs and tissues where vitamins are actually utilized, and may miss subclinical deficiencies.  In times of shortages, the brain can order cells to release their stored vitamins into the blood stream in order to keep important organs like the brain and heart functioning.   Overall, getting blood tests for deficiencies is a good idea if it's available to you.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test for Thiamine deficiency.  If you're deficient in any of the B vitamins, take a B Complex with all the B's in it.  The eight B vitamins work with one another like an orchestra.  Supplementing just one can throw the others off.
