Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi Donna, I have not yet been dxed with celiac so I really don't know. I think the hardest part will be planning meals ..something I hate to do and finding appropriate carbs to fit our life styles. I am also overweight and terrified that if I am not absorbing my food now and I remain overweight what will happen when I absorb everything? I do have Cushing's syndrome and I like to educate other about it.You can check out this site and get a lot of info: www.cushings-help.com Let's keep in touch.Is the diabetes a new thing for you ? Doreen Doreen/diabetes Hi Doreen this is Donna in NH, recent DX’d with celiac. My question is …………is it harded to juggle both diabetes and celiac? I too have type 2 diabetes and I need to lose weight, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This is my story and also the story of at least two other people whom I know. When you suddenly CAN absorb foods well, you find you're NOT hungry all the time! You find your appetite becomes self-regulating! I lost weight going GF! I was obese a year ago. Then I lost some weight with Weight Watchers. Then I got sick. Then I went gluten-free. My appetite became NORMAL when I went gluten-free! I wasn't ravenously hungry all the time. WOW! I'm SO GRATEFUL for that! I'm nearly to goal. Things have leveled off in the very recent past (last month or so). (Probably too many gluten-free Christmas cookies and those gosh darn yummy Kinnikinnick maple donuts.) But I'm sure that I can get to goal now. Sure of it. And I'm also sure that it won't be a struggle to maintain at goal like it has been in the past because my appetite has become NORMAL. I hope this great tremendous miraculous blessing happens to you, too. Esther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Esther, Thanks for the HOPE!!! I was worried about gaining. I'm obese too, and was only dx'd.last month w/celiac sprue. Everything makes sense now, though...I've had problems since elementary school, and now I know why. I'm glad you, and others have lost weight going gluten-free. Right now, I'm still learning what I can and can't eat, mostly the hard way. I'm finding grocery shopping particularly frustrating, almost coming out in tears, because "there's nothing I can eat!"....I know, a bit extreme, but I've learned to not shop when I'm hungry, so I can read those microscopic labels. I wish every food item was color-coded with a big sticker on the front of it, with a big GF... until then, it's nice to "meet" you all! cheryl in maine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do: I lost weight initially, but only because I was on meds that absolutely quashed my appetite. I didn't start gaining until I introduced meat into my diet and then . . . WHAM! I've gained back way too much weight. The good news? My weight is stabilizing. I've had to keep a close eye on my diet and find some kickstarts to my metabolism, but I'm no longer packing on the pounds. It's taken a few months to start losing (since my weight plateau'd), but I'm no longer gaining. Due to other health problems, I have to be very careful with exercise. I do warm water exercise/therapy. It helps the pain, doesn't trigger massive fatigue episodes, and keeps my body from reverting to sedentary mode. My gym happens to have a therapy pool, but my doctors are willing to write out as many referrals to PT (generally warm water therapy, bicycling, and trigger point massage) as my insurance will cover. I opt for just using my gym membership these days, as it's MUCH cheaper than co-pays on my current insurance. Eating *enough* is a hard thing for me. When I don't eat enough, my metabolism slows down and my body starts slowly gaining. Eating plenty of *good* food (complex carbs, no refined starches, skipping the preservatives, etc), is helping, along with *exercise*. It's a must and it's not a dirty word. I go to the senior citizen aquatherapy classes at my gym--I may be 30-50 years younger than everyone else, but we all ache. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Doreen, I have T2 diabetes and had the same concern about weight gain. I wasn't able to absorb much of anything except fat, and that was nearly impossible to get rid of. After I went gluten free (and got my blood sugars under control from overdosing on gluten free baked goodies as compensation), I started to drop pounds slowly but surely. I thought that it was just not eating out as much or eating better in general, but I know that I have put myself on some pretty strict diets in the past and it never helped an ounce disappear. I dropped about 15 pounds in the first 4 or 5 months without any extra exercise or refusing any food because of fat content. The rationale was " If I can't have blank, I am going to eat anything else I want " , and I did. Now with iron and other nutrient levels rising, I actually have the energy to exercise and it is helping with additional weight loss and blood sugar control. It's like the vicious cycle I was on has been totally reversed and one good thing leads to another instead of to major frustration. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I didn't cry in the grocery store. I did break down in a restaurant once. I'm pretty sure that I traumatized the poor waiter. But, he will never take a food allergy lightly again, so I consider it a service to my people. He knows now that crumbs are little tiny bread. As for the grocery store, I made it to the car before I broke down. But one passerby probably did hear me scream " what kind of d*** a** can't eat bread " at the top of my lungs and then start laughing because the obvious answer was " me " .
