I'm a new member and newly diagnosed (with in the last 3 months). I still don't have the Celiac "under control" which is very frustrating in itself. I started out overweight, lost 30 lbs (with 20 more to go) then I was diagnosed and gained back 10. I'm now working really really hard to lose that 10 and the other 20. And I find it very depressing that when I do tell someone I was diagnosed with celiac they tell me that I should "lose a ton of weight on that diet" and I'm not losing anything!!!!! I've had people even tell me I can't have Celiac because I didn't lose alot of weight before I was diagnosed. I think my biggest problem right now is I'm compensating with potatoes and corn chips. I'm on weight watchers now so we will see how that goes.
My question is how long do you have to be on the gluten diet before the celiac is under control? I'm thinking of finding a new dr because it doesn't seem to be getting better.
BTW I really enjoy this site and everyone's comments.
