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.

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
