increase your calorie intake. You can add honey to veggies for extra calories and such.

It may take a while for your intestines to heal enough to absorb more nutrients. Be sure to keep exercising and doing weight-bearing exercises too; it'll help build muscle instead of just adding fat. Good luck!

Weight-lifting gets your weight up quick. Just be sure to eat plenty after every work-out.

exercise and proper diet will help you build a healthy body.

If you just want to add weight, sugar will do that. ;)

Follow me around and eat everything I do. That seems to put a lot of weight on me. (Just a joke. I have the opposite problem)

Ha! I've thought of offering the same thing.

gluten-free has helped. And now I feel well enough to exercise which will doubly help.

      What can I substitute for almond flour? I plan on not doing the nuts either. I'm allergic to nuts.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests. Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times...

According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
