Question: Celiac Sprue? I have Celiac Sprue. I as diagnosis about 12 years ago. My problem is I was skinny for many many years and now being on a 100%Gluten Free diet for the last 3 years (I was in denial for a long time) I have gain 35 pounds (also I have had 3 children in the last 12 years) I was wondering WHY???? So many Celiacs patients can't gain weight. How come I have???

Answer: Celiac patients don't gain weight. That has been disproven by at least me. I was 50 pounds overweight when I was diagnosed. Originally celiacs were thought of as the children who were failing to thrive. However celiac is being diagnosed later in life and it is found in thin and fat people and those in between. It sounds like you are at one with your diet now and unfortunately are putting on the pounds like the rest of the US. What works for my wife and I is to weigh each morning and if our weight went up the previous day then we ate too much or didn't exercise enough and we adjust accordingly for the next day or so to keep our weight in range. My wife did this and lost 35 pounds over about 6 months and we record the end of the month weight too so there is a written record to look at too. Just a small change in eating habits over time will make a big difference in weight. You are probably gaining weight because your body is absorbing more of the nutrients and stuff since your intestines have healed. I had never had high cholesterol until just recently-- maybe for the same reason.

Question: Celiac sprue? I have celiac disease. Here are the complications I've had so far, and I"m wondering if others have them too, and what you've done... or any recommendations. Anything helps! I'm not eating gluten anymore, but I still have a messed up system. Turning vegan helped a bit with fatigue. psoriasis, anemia, fatigue, poor immune system, dry skin, depression, headaches, random tummy pains once in a while, sore joints (I'm 21--shouldn't have those!), and dry, brittle nails and hair. One big ball of sexiness, to be sure. **Celiac disease is otherwise known as gluten intolerance. Gluten=the protein in wheat, oats, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, teff. It messes up the intestines when gluten is ingested, resulting in damage and malabsorption, digestive problems, etc. Malnourishment, illnesses, depression, nutrient deficiencies, the list is endless. Anything that can result in not absorbing nutrients correctly. ** **Celiac disease is otherwise known as gluten intolerance. Gluten=the protein in wheat, oats, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, teff.
