    Shane I kinda did put in extra effort to gain.Lots of potatoes,rice,etc.But we are all different in healing.My theory anyways.All I know my gain just stopped,like a light switch when I got to that certain weight.Hope this helps you Chuck

    AllI know Ann,is some of us are VERY sensitive others are not. You are a confirmed celiac,I presume? And if that is the case,do as I did,everything you eat and put on your body, including letters,vitamins,prescription pills,bath olis,hair shampoo,dog food,EVERYTHING,and one by one check them out.In the meantime eat the pure basics,potatoes,rice,fresh veggoes...

    Our lifestyle is hard indeed,but we eat btter than most!A classic celiac will actually gain wight,post diagnosis,dur to the fact that you are now absorbing nutrients. I dont trust eating out,even if its a gluten-free menu,remember,those COOKS are usually 16-18 yr. olds that want a paycheck,not making sure you havnt been cross-containenated! Chuck

    As far as iron/vitamin absorption, I was depleted.My doc didnt even know how I could even ride my bicycle.She put me on 1,000 mg prescription iron 1 mg prescription folic acid and monthly B-12 shots for next 13 months. Along with finally absorbing,and the supplements is maybe why I had an incredible weight/gain pace.The next 6 months I put on 54 pounds...

    ARCHIVED Dr. Needed In Texas

    Chuck8268 replied to kortneysmith's topic in Doctors

    Hi My 75 yr old doctor couldnt diagnose me for 7 yrs. But what saved me was he died.I went to a sharp young doctor.It was the FIRST test she did after seeing all the tests the other doc did! That was 6 yrs ago,and feel fine to this day going gluten-free. So,Probably newer docs have had all the latest training? I would think so. Chuck

    Beth I started very simple.Fresh veggies,fruit, fish/chicken/meat potatoes/rice. Then I slowly built upon that, and found the suspect foods.Also some spices/prescription pills can be suspect.Possibly cosmetics.When I started my gluten-free diet,my symptoms almost immediadtly went away Chuck gluten-free July 4th 2003

    Hi,and part may be the sudden absence of gluten. Alot may also be vitamin defeiency,as was my case.I ride a road bike alot, and before diagnosis,after like a 40-50 mile bike ride I was just very very tired.weak,sometimes bonked.It took over a year to get my iron reserves back to normal. Chuck

    Stef They are all syptoms of celiac disease,only thing I had that you did not was very bad diarrhea,but no rashes.Felt so much better post-Diagnosis,they put me on prescription iron, folic acid. B-12 shots fot a year. Gained 50 pounds too,then stopped.I hold a good weight now. Chuck
