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

      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.

      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?
