Weight Gain

Since the holidays I regained a little (5 lbs) I'd lost (I also never had the weight loss though my intestines were a mess <_< ) Now I'm back on the South Beach Diet, Phase 1 (no white crap, whole natural foods, no sugar, no alcohol...) It's a very easy diet for Celiacs. Seems written for us! :D Anyway, if you're serious about losing weight and changing you way of eating, take a look at Open Original Shared Link. It's a great site for recipes (naturally gluten-free) and support. (Phase one is just a "get rid of cravings, big weight loss" boost to the diet that only lasts two weeks. You can skip it and go to Phase two where you eat whole grains :blink: and fruit and a little wine and other good foods.)

Good luck and send a pm if you want to chat! :)

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only...

      Home-made kefir

      Hello there, I am just a newbie starting to learn how to cope with gluten and potentially celiac. I learned that the ferments are great for the gluten-free nutrition. I have beed drawn to kefir for quite many a year and, since the culture grows so pungently, I would like to share it with whoever is interested. Supposedly it falls into that category...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results?

      I did start a new thread but here are the results with the modifications in case anyone wants to reply in this thread also. Thanks for any insight.

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      Thanks for the reply. I was assuming my score was pretty high and I was probably looking at a diagnosis. Do you think being 10x the upper limit signifies anything I should be more concerned about? I know they don’t use ‘stages’ anymore but would this indicate it’s pretty bad or not necessarily? I just don’t know how to interpret what that number could mea...

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only the antibody levels in the blood at the time of testing but the duration of it and the intensity of it over time since the onset. And those are all very subjective things. I understand your concern about irreparable damage done to body systems but you are fairly young and your body still has very good rejuvenation powers. Is there laboratory or medical evidence that anything other than the lining of your small bowel has been compromised yet? Do you have bone demineralization for instance or unexplained dental decay or neurological deficits? Stuff like that? It took 13 years to arrive at a diagnosis of celiac disease in my case from the first laboratory evidence (elevated liver enzymes) of onset and by that time I had developed osteopenia. I was 50 or 51 at the age of diagnosis.

      Hello there, I am just a newbie starting to learn how to cope with gluten and potentially celiac. I learned that the ferments are great for the gluten-free nutrition.  I have beed drawn to kefir for quite many a year and, since the culture grows so pungently, I would like to share it with whoever is interested. Supposedly it falls into that category of ferments good for the gut - haven't started doing my sauerkraut or kimchi yet, but it is on my schedule.  Whoever is interested in the kefir culture, just lmk - I live in NYC.  kindly, -mo

I just don’t know how to interpret what that number could mean. It’s all kind of scary when I see how high it is compared to the norm.
