Hi there - can anyone confirm that they had continued weight loss even after going gluten free - weight loss has not stopped - lost 50 lbs so far which is very welcome and I look OK but just need reassurance that there is some inflammation in the gut that still needs to heal.  Thanks all !

How long since your diagnosis and going gluten free has it been?

Are you still experiencing diarrhea or other celiac GI symptoms?

Hi thanks for replying - last August the weight problem started and then I went gluten free ?  I don't have diarrhea all the time but I do have a distended small intestine and if I eat gluten I do suffer with pain and loose bowel !

Okay, let's backup for the sake of clarity.

Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? How were you diagnosed? Did you get both celiac blood antibody testing done and an endoscopy/biopsy? Or, are you self-diagnosed?

How often do you get "glutened"? Are you strict with your gluten free diet?

I was unable to tolerate the endoscopy when scheduled - blood test not showing anything but I am steroids which can negate tests I believe - especially the one I am on.   I am strict with my gluten free diet - but in saying that I did slip last week and had two white breakfast rolls - and boy have I gone back several months with digestive issues.   I do not eat gluten free foods as they are too loaded with sugar etc. - the only thing I do have is gluten free biscuits as I need to eat a couple before taking my steroids - apart from that I just eat a normal diet without any gluten within it.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.

      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).
