1 year gluten free...   ttg at 10...  dropped from 120's....  weak positive range. . normal 0 - 3..

haven't gained a pound since going gluten free..  

I didn't really lose much weight before i was diagnosed and still eating gluten.. I only lost maybe 4 pounds....    I even gained 3 pounds while still eating gluten....

Then after going gluten free I lost like 7 pounds and haven't gained anything since....

So it's not clear from your post what your goal is, are you trying to gain more weight? If so, there are lots of higher calorie foods that can help.

A lot of people here have used gluten-free protein powder to help gain more muscle mass, which is heavier than fat. Adding more calories to your diet by snacking more often is another way that should help.

After years of undiagnosed Celiac caused malabsorbtion, you may still be deficient in vitamins and minerals. Unless you focus on them it may take years to replenish. Here is an article that looks at vitamins as a cause of weight gain. It seems to be written for people who can't lose weight, but his list includes vitamins frequently seen in Celia Disease malabsorption syndromes. Vitamin A, B, C, and my favorite vitamin D.

If not too invasive, what is your BMI?

Looks good the way you are. Watch more TV reruns pre 1965 and set the screen aspect to 4:3 when appropriate. A 4:3 show watched on a 16:9 screen makes everyone fatter. Some stations adjust, some do not. Notice how skinny everyone looks compared to our current body image. Buy new clothes to fit your new image.

Not at all. What you have now is something that many people are envious of. The holy grail of weight loss. It takes a while for your appistat to readjust. Maybe more fatty foods like avocado. When I was younger I could out eat everyone and not gain weight. A properly operating digestive system will take what you need and leave the rest.

Two more things you might try. 60 grams (2 oz) almonds has 100% rda of vitamin E and 347 calories. One tsp Cod Liver Oil fulfills all your vitamin A and has omega 3 at 40 calories.

I eat a huge tablespoon of almond butter every single morning for breakfast along with some 2 large bananas ....     and drink Silk almond milk during the day...

I might just not be healed yet enough to be gaining...   my celiac was still technically on at my last blood test even at only 10 antibody level...

My doctor said he has patents coming back in 15 pounds overweight after healing

that aint me

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
