Gluten free/ dairy free and losing weight

Hey everyone I'm thinking of going gluten and dairy free. No, I'm not gluten or dairy intolerant but both foods disrupt most people even without these celaic or lactose intolerance. They're just hard foods to digest for most whether they show symptoms or not. Anyways I have a question. I'm at a healthy good weight with a natural build to me.  I'm afraid going gluten and dairy free will make weight when I don't need to and make me scrauny or lose muscle. What are your guys thoughts?

Paleo/Keto is a diet I follow with high fats and protein and low carb, Gluten free, Dairy Free, Corn Free, and Sugar Free. I also am body building with this diet.
Best suggestion, whole foods diet, avoid the gluten free processed crap they load with sugar, starches, and excess crud and you will be fine.
And yes I have Celiac, lactose intolerance, corn and whey allergies and another disease that reacts to sugars, I adopted this diet for my health but have come to love it.

I have had symptoms of Sjogren's since November.  Since it has taken 5 months to get to the Doctors who can verify that, I put myself on what I understood was an "auto-immune" diet.  I was quite sick for about 2 months having gone cold turkey on that plan, and moved to a dairy, gluten-free diet shortly after that.  I was 138 lbs and went to 122 at my lowest, really don't need to do that!  I contracted a 3rd DVT from a 8 hr trip to Santa Fe in late December and have been on a blood thinner which does not let me eat the leafy greens that I need for the Gluten Free which has restricted my diet to where I don't know what to eat.  I was dealing well with my digestive tract until that time, and am still, but cannot figure what to eat now that the one problem messes up the other.  Today, I had a lactose test and it was negative!  A light at the end of tunnel!  Now what, milkshakes and ice cream to get my weight up, or will that mess up my gluten free diet and a calm stomach?  I need to gain weight so badly, but there is not much sympathy here in Oklahoma for that problem, I can assure you.  Five new Doctors, but all have just eliminated other auto-immunes but don't give me a definite diagnosis at this point.  Guess my main question is, if I start using dairy again, will that nullify my ability to correct my problem by staying on Gluten Free?

By all means have dairy!  It is okay for the gluten free diet.  But it might negate the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) die that might have been trying to adhere to.  That most likely does not allow dairy.  It probably has more to do with the milk proteins (casein) that lactose (milk sugars).  The proteins are what most people who are allergic to dairy react to.  

Are you sure you are really thin?  Are you in your BMI range?  Sometimes we lose weight so fast it frightens us.  We get used to being heavier.  

My hubby is on blood thinners.  I feed him leafy greens in moderation daily.  That way they can adjust his blood thinner accordingly.  We just eat too many greens for him to go completely green free!  Talk to your doctor about it.  We did some research on it, discussed with his doctors and it was the best choice for us.

Nut butters and sunflower butter are great and easy ways to load on the healthy fat calories and build up, I use them homemade seed butters, vegan protein powders, and protein chips, nut based cheeses galore. Unsure if you can have nuts, but sunflower butter (sunbutter) or Paleo Butter from Julian Bakery are hypoallergenic, the organic sunbutter in the green lid is unsalted and unsweetened, bit of getting used to...I love blending it in water and making sunbutter milk and using in shakes. Avocados are another great way to load on they healthy fats, and just plain nuts, although I find processing them into butters to make they much easier to digest.

      What should I do with these test results?

      From the article you linked: "Currently, there are no recommended methods to test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity." "No recommended methods" is the key phrase here. Just on the anecdotal evidence of reading many posts on this forum, I think we sometimes see some elevated igg test scores with NCGS. They seem to be mildly elevated in these cases, not high...

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the...

      Reply to Russ H, Thank you for your input. As a nurse for 46 years I was aware of much of this. However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer...

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
