    I know how you feel. My dad and an aunt have celiacs as well. Once my dad started following a gluten free diet, the weight started dropping right off. He looks fabulous. My aunt is the same way but she has a couple other food sensitivities and can put on weight over night, but overall she has lost and is at her recommended weight. Me, I struggle. I...

    Well, this morning my weight is coming back down and I am within 1 lb of where I was. Whew! I don't look 6 months pregnant anymore!! I'll have to watch the potatoes, although my husband stated that he did have a peanut butter sandwich just before making the potato salad. So I wouldn't rule out contamination either. I'm staying away from the potato salad...

    Has anyone experienced a sudden, overnight weight gain? I watch my diet very closely and have been steadily losing weight. (I don't bake a lot of gluten free goodies). The only thing that changed in my diet yesterday was my husband made potato salad and we had gluten free (Pamela's) pancakes for breakfast. We have had the pancakes before and it didn...

    Thank you all!! I've learned more in a few posts than I ever learned from the doctor and the dietician at the hospital. Sandy

    Hi, I think they are pretty common. Sounds like you are having spasms in your intestine. A lot of times it accompanies gas pains or maybe even a little bit of an obstruction that clears itself, it may even be a little irritation in your intestines. I have had such horrible spasms that I have doubled over (labor type pain). I had one in the doctors...

    Thank you both for responding. I have had my bloodwork done. My calcium is on the low end of normal, that's why the doctor suggested supplimenting my calcium and taking a good multi vitamin. My bone density results were not good. It is real obvious that I haven't been absorbing enough Calcium. Obviously the result of the Celiacs. It just seems odd to...

    Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum. Need some suggestions. I have been gluten free for several months. Well mostly, except for the accidental glutening from an unsuspected medication. My concern is tiredness. I can get 8-10 hours of sleep and I still am tired. I am on Effexor for depression, which helped a lot! I also take a multi vitamin, eat...

    Dear Littleone, Out of curiosity has your significant other been tested for food allergies? My son, who is four, never tested positive for celiacs (via blood testing) but he had all the symptoms. I could not get anyone to listen to me and in fact at times they thought I was one of those moms who were looking for problems. His doctor actually refused...

    Try googling obesity and celiac's disease. You would be surprised what is out there. Some great explanations Sandy

    Hi, I'm like you, overweight. That's probably why my doctor refused to test me for celiac's initially. She associated celiacs with emaciation and rapid weight loss. I can't remember where I heard it but those with celiac disease are malnourished. Malnourished doesn't necessarily have to mean underweight. Someone who is overweight is also malnourished...

    I can relate to the stress answer. I was a nurse in the ICU and finally left for a less stressful job thinking that would help. I'm just glad Matthew's pediatrician did an allergy profile on him. That is how we finally started putting the pieces together and lead to my allergy testing. I thought it was rather strange that I barely had an allergy to wheat...

    Hi everyone. I'm one of the many lurkers, seeking answers to questions I didn't know I had. Reading all of your posts, I see my strange symptoms finally painting a big picture. I can't tell you how many misdiagnoses that I have had over the years, from viruses, flu, irritable bowel syndrome, to it's just my imagination, or too much stress. My 4 year...
