Exercise And Losing Weight

Good Afternoon all!!

My son (age 6) and I (age 33) have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It was about two years ago. I got pregnant with my third child right after and have to say it was a MUCH better pregnancy MUCH MUCH BETTER than the first two before I was gluten free.

I am losing weight and getting healthy now and ALL of my Celiac Symptoms have come back!!! AHHHH!!! My pain and stomach problems, sweating, headaches, etc. I heard that burning fat could result in some celiac symptoms since gluten is stored in the fat. I also heard it could take a few years to get 31 years of gluten out of my body. Is this true or an old wives tale???

I have no insurance and am worried while losing weight. I was SKINNY before when I was undiagnosed and am afraid of losing weight. Am I over thinking this?? Do I keep going?? I am on a STRICT gluten free diet and am working out about 30 mins a day. I just feel sick again and am sooooooo frustrated!!!!! I was tired and overweight before and need this so it is like a lose lose situation!

None of that about gluten is true. It should take up to a few days for undigested gluten to pass through your body after you've eaten some. It's not stored at all--it's broken down during the digestive phase.

I'd recheck everything in your diet--especially anything new you've added. Check for cross-contamination (in factory and at home), any medications/supplements, pet food, personal products, etc. You may simply be getting more sensitive to trace amounts of gluten.

And keep taking your prenatal vitamins.

Even slight vitamin deficiency is not good especially recovering from pregnancy.

Your exercising should be ok.

Are you eating enough protein?

Good fats?

As far as feeling ill with gluten like symptoms.

What about other food intolerances?

Like nightshades, soy, eggs, lectins?

I don't know that they would cause weight loss, but certainly can make you feel lousy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
