Something I Found Funny :)

I've been gluten free (to the best of my knowledge lol) for a couple of months. A couple of weeks ago I started thinking of something I used to say. I've had a "weight problem" since I was little. In my early twenties I started joking and saying I'm not overweight I'm having an allergic reaction and this is just swelling. :blink: I was predicting my future!! It's so funny cos it was true!! :lol: After going gluten free a lot of my abdominal swelling went down! :) I know I'm a nerd but I had to share :)

I understand completely. My body is reshaping itself in some strange ways, without a lot of work (other than completely revamping my diet, duh!).

You're not a nerd--you're adorable! Besides, I like nerds :)

I could not lose weight for over 10 years. No diet worked and I tried valiantly. I would joke "My metabolism is in a coma" :lol:

The celiac triggered and I dropped 90 lbs. without trying and I became emaciated and weak. What the heck was going I wondered? Now, I know.

It's funny, but my metabolism WAS deeply affected by malabsorption all along and now, I know why. I have put some weight back on, but I feel like I am not dying anymore (after 3 1/2 years) so, I am not worried about it at all.

Thanksgiving is going to be YUMMY this year! Cheers! :)

I've dropped almost 10 lbs since going gluten free. I'm sure a lot of that was bloating. I also am trying to figure out my thyroid so I still get "c" and that makes me put on weight and fell yucky :( Luckily lately I've been losing weight even when I feel bloated and huge. I hate feeling that way but as long as I'm not gaining I'm ok with that. I just want to feel better so I can work on losing a few more pounds. Hopefully when I get my levels normal the weight will take care of itself.

This is my first Gluten-free Casein-free Thanksgiving so it should be interesting. :) I'm going to make a gluten free dairy free pumpkin pie. I got dairy free butter for the turkey. :ph34r: I'm going to make some of the things I usually make but then make versions for me to eat and hire a guard to watch them for me lol :lol:

That is cool, isn't it!! I LOVE your username because I LOVE bunnies. :) I have a ridonkulous :lol: collection of bunnies (porcelain, furry, glass, wind-up, marble, even an embroidered pillow a friend made with bunnies on it!) and best of all, wild ones all over our property. I was going to be "rabbit" when I came on here, but it was taken.... :)

Put me on the nerd list too!

I've only got a few kilos to reach ideal weight. I'm probably in healthy range now that I think about it :D

One of my workmates is going wheat lite to keep her weight in check. ((Don't worry she isn't a pseudo celiac/GI, just took my suggestion of keeping down the wheat to help with the weight))

This morning she tells me (and I can see) how great her skin is!

If she's having a positive response to "wheat-lite", maybe she should "go all the way" !! :) Just My humble opinion!! If there had been no change, then it's not about the wheat. A positive response = gluten sensitivity. Imagine what would happen if she avoided it completely. Can't hurt to try it!

It's so frustrating cos I just want to lose maybe 15-20lbs, but it's kinda hard when you don't feel like exercising. I'm having issues with my thyroid so I'm sleepy again. :( And I felt like my skin was lookin a little better until I was put on levothyroxine and started breaking out :(

Good luck with your weight loss! Us nerds need to stick together! :D

If I had a chunk of land with bunnies me and my dog would go nuts! :D I'd be throwing carrots and lettuce on the porch every morning :D Sometimes I feed the birds and squirrels that come into my yard. They're so fun to watch :)

Add another Nerd to the list. Beside eating constantly (cracker, bread, etc) to get rid of the nausea I just kept blowing up like a balloon and might add not feeling any better (duh gluten). I'm 5 weeks gluten-free and have lost 10 pounds. I probably eat more now in the morning then I ever have, feel awesome and have a good outlook. Happy Thanksgiving.

Good for you!!! Enjoy your new life sans gluten.

Gluten does not make us happy. Gluten is poison. I say...

Gluten is my kryptonite and Supergirl can't fly when krytonite is around. :blink::lol:

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!!!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      By RMJ · Posted

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
