Ok so now my body is working 100% backwards I swear!

I started college end of August .. and things are going good there are far as food goes. I keep my gluten-free foods in the staff room, so nothing ever gets touched. I am SO careful with contamination at home .. I've been eating a LOT (enough that sometimes they joke at school because I eat more than most guys do) .. clearly no time for exercise if I'm in school 5 times a day.

BUT I as of last week I am 7 pounds lighter :unsure:

How is that possible? Eating more, exercising less, no contamination .. yet weight loss??

Maybe you are so busy you are eating less or burning off what you are eating. If your not sick I would say don't worry about it.

hope that helps.

Check out a couple of the other discussions - some people have mentioned losing weight. I have lost about 5lbs and was already a "normal" weight......Maybe it is just the limitations of food and the fact that you may be eating less carbs.

Hmm well I eat lots of sandwiches, eat as much meat and veggies as my system allows. eat a lot of brown rice(as much as I can). So i dont know, doesnt make much sense.

I've just been trying to hide being the 7 pounds lighter because I think people are noticing. I've been getting odd looks. Or maybe they are noticing my jeans a lot looser lol.

*sighs* i dont know, just a scary thought. There are so many people who I go to school with that like barely eat because they want to stay thin..well I'm the total opposite, and try to gain. :P

I dont know what i'm saying because I'm basically sleeping on my computer so I'm crashing and if this sounds odd i'll fix it tomorrow ;)

Maybe what you lost is muscle - where you an active athlete of sorts before going back to school?

If it makes you feel any better, I am been glutten free since April and have lost over 30 lbs and I wasn't over weight to begin with!

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
