Stomach Tightening Exercises?

My 55 year old male '9 month pregnancy' gluten belly is starting to recede a bit now that I am gluten free. I don't have too much fat, in fact I have visible abs, but I think the constant strain on the muscles has affected the tone. Has anyone had this problem?  Any exercises or anything that might help! The Mom's might have some ideas! Thanks!

Continue to lose weight by making healthy food choices. Then increase your exercise and lift some weights to build bone and muscle.

Going gluten-free does not mean weight loss will occur. I just started baking gluten-free cookies and cakes!

I did lose and have maintained my weight on a low carb high FAT diet for diabetes. I basically eat to my meter. Eat too many carbs and I have proof that my blood glucose levels go up. It is a great motivator! I had a normal BMI to start and blamed my 15 to 20 pound weight gain over the years to pregnancy and middle age despite my high levels of exercise. My hubby is on the same diet and he is losing weight (though not as fast as he cheats....) and his cholesterol panel results already show an increase in HDL and his triglycerides were cut in half. Our GP was impressed and we are now basically a clinical experiment that he is following.

I feel great about being the same size I had been in my teens, 20's and 30's. I finally realized that diet (sugar did me in) really counts. I only lost a few pounds when I trained for 100 mile bike rides.

Something to research and think about!

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
