Have you tried more whole foods like eggs, potatoes, vegetables, cheeses, meats, etc.? Some of those weight gain shakes have tons of ingredients. Above all, be sure his diet is gluten-free, and you may need to see if he has additional intolerance issues, but you haven't mentioned other symptoms besides low weight.

Yes - he has a very good diet overall with lots of chicken, fresh veggies and rice/potatoes. We have not ruled out other allergens yet but I am pretty sure his diet is gluten-free based on the nurse reviewing all his current meals with me. Thanks for your feedback.

Protein powders and exercise. That way the weight you will gain will be healthy and not just fat.

I am a celiac patient that is very picky and looking for a way to gain weight. I am looking for a ALL FRUITS gain weight shake.

Welcome to the forum @Skinny.! You are talking about a fruit smoothie diet. Get a good blender and make your own, and you probably need to add protein powder and other things. There are lots of recipes online.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Before my diagnosis I would consider myself pretty much asymptomatic other than a few flare ups of what I previously thought were ibs symptoms. After having iron deficiency as well I had a positive blood test and EGD. I have now been gluten free for about a month but my symptoms have gotten worse. I now have bloating, acid reflux, and pain in the upper abdomen on and off most days. I am pretty positive I am not being glutened as we overhauled our whole house to be gluten free and haven’t eaten out since the diagnosis. Has anyone else experienced a worsening of symptoms after going gluten free? Will it subside? Or is there something else I should be concerned about. Thank you!

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/
