Hi,

 I have been loosing weight gradually in the last 8 -10 months and experience diarrhea once a day , cramps, and yellow mushy stool in the last month. 

I'm cutting out dairy and oats . I'm a bit worried that my weight will decrease , i cannot afford to loose anymore body weight . 

I would also like to know if your body will stop loosing weight ?

I have stopped consuming gluten immediately after my visit to the Doctor.  The Doctor suggested that i cut out gluten until my results , just to see if my simptome's subside.

its to  soon to see results so i will have to weight for my results , only got tested yesterday . 

Many thanks

Were you consuming normal amounts of gluten up until the blood antibody test draw? Going gluten free before testing will likely invalidate the results.

Give it time. If you have celiac disease there is damage to the small bowel lining, where the nutrients from our food is absorbed. Once you go gluten free there should be healing of the lining and a return to more normal nutrient absorption. As far as cutting out oats and dairy, there are lots of substitutes. For hot cereal, consider buckwheat groats. Buckwheat is highly nutritious and is the seeds from a plant related to rhubarb. It is delicious. Calories from starches can also come from potatoes and rice. Nuts are high in calories. Soy milk is a good substitute for dairy. There are lots of options but if you are a picky eater it will be more of a challenge.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
