Stubborn Weight Gain

Losing weight has always been difficult for me. It seems to have nothing to do with how much I eat or how little I eat. Within my gluten and other allergy limitations, I've tried lowering carbs and several other obvious techniques. But it won't budge. Even moderate exercise doesn't seem to impact it. Anyone tried anything innovative that worked in stubborn cases like mine? I've been wondering if it will eventually start to drop when I've been gluten free long enough. It's been a year. Anyone have that experience, like a delayed reaction weight loss? When I found out I had gluten issues a year ago, I thought for sure that my weight would finally improve with my new diet. If anything, I gained slightly. Now I've recently eliminated ALL grains in case they are an issue. So far still no success. Just interested in your experiences. Thanks!

This is sorta hot topic item, but...have you had your thyroid checked?

Please get your thyroid checked. This is a major symptom. Very common in celiacs. You need to get the full panel including the thyroid peroxidase antibody test which looks for autoimmue hypothyroidism (hashimotos). Read website mentioned above as well as dr.lowe.com.

Thanks for the replies concerning thyroid. I've been checked frequently, even with very sensitive blood tests by a hormone specialist and saliva tests by a naturopath. It always comes back perfect. My temperature is nearly normal and not remarkably low. And my weight is not distributed in the typical hypothyroid pattern either.

Adreanal fatigue? If it isn't thyroid...

Something has shut down the metabolism and there are quite a few different medical reasons as possibilities -- Thyroid is #1 on that list.

Maybe a read through The Diet Cure by Julia Ross

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
