Sigh.... will look for gluten free shampoo once I finish the current one. I guess I need to change even my hand wash, face wash, etc.

Thanks Katie B. My doctor says I need 2000 calories per day. I know I'm not getting that many - maybe 1500 calories instead. I realise I need to increase portion sizes, but it's hard because I seem to be getting odd symptoms since I went gluten-free (I barely had any sypmptoms before). I thought it would be easy to gain weight, but I guess it'll take time... -

Fingers crossed... Thanks!! -
Oh, I'm glad I saw this thread. I've been gluten-free for 2 weeks now. I hardly had any symptoms earlier, apart from loose stool (and weight loss couple of months back). Surprisingly, noticed my stool felt normal after 3-4 days of being gluten free. But these 2 weeks have produced such random symptoms like bloating, burning sensation at the base of my throat...

I was avoiding eating too much carbs earlier as well because I was worried about getting diabetes. So asked my doctor who told me that my blood sugar levels are fine, so I can eat more carbs. Still unsure though! I eat my 3 meals a day, and in between meals I usually eat nuts and fruit. I guess I need to increase the quantity of whatever I eat! -

Thanks for your reply. I've started eating brown rice instead of white rice because I'm already eating white rice flour pancakes for breakfast everyday, so felt too much white rice wouldn't be a good thing! I eat quite a bit of yoghurt everyday. Also, eat millets everyday. I was avoiding soy milk because I have Hashimoto's (read somewhere soy products should... -

Hi I've recently been diagnosed with celiac disease. I'm quite underweight (always have been) and my doctor expects me to put on certain amount of weight within the next 3 months. He said I need to increase my intake of carbs - basically get 50% of my calories from carbs. But I've been reading some of the other threads on this forum where protein is recommended...
