Being glutened, eating normally after glutening, and weight issues

Hi,
I’m new to this forum and was diagnosed with coeliac disease back in March.
Almost 2 weeks ago, I somehow got ‘glutened’ (I think cos I’ve got and had a lot of the symptoms and don’t think it was a bug since I should be fine by now) and it’s taking longer than I thought to recover and be able to eat normally (I’m currently only eating banana, plain homemade mash, bone broth and white rice cos it’s all I can tolerate (I tried brown last week but it made me feel slightly ill)).
So what are your go to things when recovering from being glutened? And any tips on how to reintroduce foods after being glutened (specifically bread and meat)?

Also, looking for a bit of support/advice.
I’ve always been underweight and thin and since being diagnosed in March and going gluten free I’ve lost more weight and found it hard to put it back on (even though I have been eating a bit more than I used to, just a bit healthier but with plenty of cakes and biscuits).
After being glutened a couple of weeks ago I have therefore lost even more weight and I’m still not eating normally. Any tips on how to put weight on while being gluten free?
I can’t afford to be the weight I currently am as I have no reserves or anything to fall back on if I get ill again.
Thanks ? x

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      @Scott Adams Recently got blood work back and TTG antibodies went from 168.8 to 16.7 and deaminated gliadin was 22 (was not measured the first time). Is this a good start for an 11 month time frame? Just having a hard time with why my symptoms seemed to be flaring up again when my blood work has improved.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
