I was 200 lbs before I was diagnosed,8 weeks after the diagnosis I'm 172lbs ,which is normal for me .I went as low as 160 after 5 weeks but have gaining.

thats why I started the post,soda at the restaraunts bothered me but not the odd pepsi ,I'm trying more water intake but it makes me hungry.One other question for everybody ,is instant white rice a problem for us as celiacs?thankyou again for the food lists they are a big help.I dont feel so restricted,everybody has been such a big help

thank you all for your responses,they are very helpful.I reseached as much as I could but somethings you cannot,like smoking,I know I can quit but I have come so far I dont want to take on to much right now,at least I can have pepsi,in moderation.

in the beginning caffine and smoking didn 't bother me but as time goes on I crave caffine more than anything .I figured it must be my system trying to right itself.I bet you play a better doctor than mine

thank you, one more thing I can have without being to nervous about

THERE IS GLUTEN FREE BEER !!!! that just made my new year

so far pineapples work for me

Happy Holidays to all. I'm 33 and for the past 4 years I've suffered all the symtoms of celiac but as most of you have gone through I was only diagnosed 5 weeks ago.The only information I was given until I see a specialist was not to eat any food.So I have stayed with fresh veggies,fruit,and meat.After 5 weeks I feel 100% better than I did and know...
