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.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
