Has anyone bought any of the No Weight Gain cookbooks? If so, how are the recipes? I am thinking of trying them out. I became overweight before I knew I had Celiac. Does gluten intolene cause you to become overweight? I have gained a lot in recent years. I was only diagnosed a few months ago.

I do not think gluten can cause overweigtness but it can cause bloating. I try to limit my calories, exercise, and do substations in recipes. Using some butter and the rest apple sauce while baking is a good way and eating more vegetables is, too. I also love making fries but use an oven and no oil.

As far as I am concerned no, it is not a direct cause for obesity. Like mentioned above, it does cause bloating etc and malabsorption of other nutrients. Although I can see how it can make you gain weight. I often find myself crazily craving for gluten products one because I used to love them and eat them on regular basis before symptoms became too severe to ignore, two because knowing I can not eat them any more depressed me a little and led to consuming them. Or I found substitutes like sweets, as most refined sugar products or often dark chocolates, are gluten free.. but since they are not as brilliant as the glutens.. I would consume a high amount of them -..- How annoying. I am recovering but finding it lame. If only I have super digestive system. I wish I am PROBLEM FREE!!!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      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.)
