I am still waiting to gain weight! I have been gluten-free since April, starting feeling better in August. My gi doc and I are hoping that I gain weight soon.

This really varies, but I had lost 15 lbs. being really sick before I was Dx. In the first 2 months gluten-free, I gained 10 lbs. I ended up only gaining about 2 more and leveled off. I can stand to lose a little, and now that I'm feeling better, I've gotten back to doing Pilates and laying off the breads and things. I've lost 8 lbs. so far--the healthy way and would be happy to lose 10 more.

I started gaining weight within 4-6 months on the diet.

Same here. I was underweight, and gained 15 lbs. in that time frame (4-6 months), and about 5 more after I was gluten-free for 10 months.

Husband Mike only gained 7 lbs in the last 2.25 years on gluten-free diet. His old weight was 175, then 155, then 145, then 135, lowest 128. Now back at about 135 (after breakfast of course!). He is 5' 9"- 5' 10" tall and middle aged, at least he isn't fighting middle aged paunch like his friends (look for the positive in this situation).
