Hi - Lots of people here have gone through the weight loss after starting the diet. I'm not one of them :( and can't give you an insight, but keeping checking back. You'll get plenty of suggestions and support.

I continued to lose wait also. I found that Ensure (a high protien drink) was both gluten-free and good for maintaining weight. Actually, it put me into a weight gain mode so you have to be careful.

Good Luck! :)

Laura,

I lost 25 poinds in 3 months after going gluten-free... (210 to 185)

Somefolks lose weight because of the loss of all those carbs (South Beach effect)...

I eventually began to get back to my normal weight after a few months....

Thanks! I was thinking maybe I was doing something wrong....It kind of took me by surprise when I weighed. I thought that if my body was able to absorb nutrients better, I would gain weight. But looking back at my previous diet, it was all high carb, high fat, low nutrient. So it makes since that a leaner, more protein diet would cause you to lose weight. I will try the ensure!

Thanks to all who responded so quickly, it really does help!!!

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.
