I can not tell you how fatigued I was for the longest time until my doc told me to cut the gluten out. In just 4 weeks, I have the most energy I have had in such a long time. I completed a 7 hour(!) hike up a mountain yesterday! Something I would had never been able to do before. The GF diet has really changed how I feel and act, my coloring and skin looks soo much better although I still have joint pain and muscle cramps. But those will go as well. My med for the Hashimotos was corrected so I should feel 10000% better in six months time. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I think because I have more energy for exercise I will lose the 50 lbs I have been wanting to lose for years. This blog will definitely see me through, especially when I need that extra push of motivation. Wish me luck. :) Found out I have Celiac’s a month ago, and my Hashimotos (or Hypothyroidism) symptoms got worse.

Can you tell me what you at on a typical day? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I was amazed at how much better I felt. No more fatigue and foggy headedness and my stomach was no longer so bloated. My weight dropped by 10 pounds, and my hair and skin looks so much healthier. Just a warning to new gluten free people that you will want to keep your intake of yeast and sugar down most of the time. Too many processed gluten free foods are a bit higher in this and it can feed candida in your body, thus causing weight gain/female infections, etc. We just started gluten free with my kiddo and I am so excited! It's great having someone else to cook for now. I will be trying all your recipes. I went gluten free and dairy free to try it out before we put my special needs child on the diet.

Im 17 and have recently been diagnosed with celiac about five months ago, so ive had time to get use to it. My prpblem though is that recently ive gained about seven pounds and i dont know how to lose weight even though i am on the diet... its hard since i can not really choose what my mom decides to make for dinner or buys at the store since gluten free food is already quite expensive and we have a big family who all eats a gluten free dinner to support me.. i was just wondering if you had any tips on how to lose weight. thanks : ) love your article.

I didn't. Its made me eat a lot healthy as I eat much more fresh fruit and vegetables.

I lost 20 lbs the first 2 weeks (bathroom breaks often) and lost 2 cup sizes and 2 shoe sizes after 4 months..... I'm still over (very over) weight, and I'm looking for "how to" diets while still getting the fiber I need, even though I still take vitamin supp's on a regular basis. You need to do that, take vitamins, you will become anemic from lack of vitamin b and iron, which wheat is in abondence of. Amy,

Never looked at those great points you made and contributed it to being GF. Just wanted to add another. When a person consumes prossesed/eating out there's something about it that makes you crave more of it all the time. That was my biggest challenge was to let go of the chemical then the mental dependeny. Its been a good journey since being diagnosed. All things in my life have changed mental/emotional/physical/spirtual. I imagine its like that for a lot of us. Loving your site!!! Thanx for all u do! Much apprieciated! Great posting.

Weird...hmm. Not sure how not eating gluten drops the kilos. Any ideas? How low can you go? I mean how much weight do people loose when they stop eating gluten? Is it just a couple of kilos? Is it more? What is the average weight loss? I have just discovered I have an intolerance to Gluten and in three weeks I’ve dropped two cups sizes in my bra. Weird…hmm.
