    Thanks for all of the responses. I am so excited because today I broke the weight plateau I was stuck on. I am finally having success with the SCD and I couldn't be happier!

    How long did you stay on the "Intro" diet. Also, where did you get your calcium from if you started introducing cheese 5 weeks into the diet?

    My GI says he thinks I have IBS, not celiac, but I am 100% certain that I cannot handle gluten. Just wondering if anyone else in same boat....
  4. PreOptMegs
    Is it possible for someone to have an "allergy" to gluten, but not have celiac disease?

    gfinnebraska- how long did it take to begin losing weight? I gain weight with gluten intake, so I am not sure where to start on the diet. I just sort of jumped in it (I ordered the book- it ins't in yet...) and everything I have eaten has been "legal", but is there some sort of chronological sequence to the way things should be introduced? I am sick...

    I was just introduced to this diet yesterday by a member on this forum. Just wondering what some opinions of this are and any success/unsuccessful stories are from this, and how hard it is to stay on it!! Thanks

    ARCHIVED Weight Gain

    PreOptMegs replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    gfinnebraska --- How long has it taken you to lose the weight and how long after starting this diet did you start to see results? I saw the list of legal and illegal foods, and I can't believe some of the illegal foods that I eat (quinoa, potatoes, milk, canned vegetables to name a few...), so hopefully if I stay away from them as much as possible, I will...

    Thanks all very much for the response. I have had blood tests done and these emphatically showed that I had celiac disease. My levels were 3x what they should have been. The doctor kept asking me if I have any diarrhea, which I haven't... he immediately said, I don't think you have celiac disease, but instead IBS. I was extremely frustrated. I have been...

    From my experience, the Dextrin is usually bad. Maltodextrin is another very common ingredient. I stay away from it, always.

    I am 100% sure I have celiac, but I just went to a specialist that told me it is most likely IBS. The thing is I GAIN weight when I eat gluten, so I guarantee my biopsy is going to be negative, but the point is, I am still intolerant to gluten, which is the definition of celiac. Being on the gluten-free diet, I have lost weight and feel great, so I reassured...

    That is so ironic, skbird. I am 5'10" as well, and this morning weighed 155. I was 149 not that long ago, so it just bugs the crap out of me that I am stuck and cannot go below 155 no matter what. The weight is all located in my lower stomach, so I definately want that to go away!!!

    Just wondering if there are any gluten-free ice creams. I haven't seen any so far.

    ARCHIVED Weight Gain

    PreOptMegs replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I definately don't understand why I am gaining weight. It seems like simple mathmatics to me.... don't take in many calories and have your body burn more than what you take in and you lose weight. That has been the most disappointing and frustrating part for me. I am the healthiest eater and don't eat more than 1200 calores daily, but can't get weight...

    I definately gain weight and no matter how few calories I eat, I am stuck at a particular weight. I have learned to read my body really well (I self-diagnosed this disease), and I really feel like my metabolism is in slow motion. Anyone else?
  15. PreOptMegs
    I am EXTREMELY sensitive to gluten, so I know for a fact that I would have symptoms even if it was just a small crumb, so to say that everyone can have up to x amount of ppm of gluten and be fine is an overstatement. I have experimented with my body and I know my limitations. I have learned the hard way.... you can never be too careful!!

    I am a college basketball player and we do lift weights 3x a week, and I know muscle weighs more than fat, but I am still not satisfied with the way my body looks. I made it through all of the wonderful holidays with the body I worked so hard for, and then this celiac thing came on, and I just am not happy. I will try to keep my metabolism going throughout...

    I eat so incredibly healthy, but I too cannot lose weight. I just feel like my metabolism is in slow gear. I eat very few calories per day (maximum of 1500), but I still continue to gain. I don't know what to do anymore because I am so incredibly frustrated. I mean if I am going to gain weight, I will do it by eating sweets, not fresh fruits, vegetables...

    After having a gluten attack and blowing up like Shamu's cousin, I will lose that weight very quickly, but then I get stuck at a weight and no matter how much I diet and exercise, my weight won't budge!!! I go to the specialist in a few days, so hopefully he can help me overcome this awful thought of being "fat" and still not getting to eat what I want!...
  19. PreOptMegs
    I will lose a lot of weight very quickly, until I get to a certain weight, then I am stuck, no matter how healthy I eat, or how few calories I take in...

    Hi Everyone! I would not consider myself overweight, but since having this celiac thing (just diagnosed approx 3 weeks ago), I reach a certain weight and no matter how much I diet and exercise, I cannot seem to break that weight. After days of trying, it never fails that I get contaminated with gluten, which skyrockets my weight up again. I am so sick...

    I was wondering if anyone else GAINS weight after consumption of gluten. I just recently found out I was a celiac, so it has taken a while to get a grasp of all of the pitfalls, but if I eat gluten, I gain at least 5 pounds overnight and I become massively bloated and I feel awful. I know most celiacs lose weight, but I am just the opposite. I hope I...
