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!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
