Pulling the thread back up for my 4 week post appointment update.
So today is 4 weeks later and I'm down 5 pounds. I have been doing the same exercises as usual, but my diet has changed a lot. I have not been very good about the portions so I was surprised I lost weight. I can't imagine what would happen if I really apply myself when it comes to diet on a weekly basis. I know I am sensitive to wheat and gluten and those are out of my diet, but my doctor told me that once I am allergic or sensitive to those I should be careful with all grains. I noticed that when I eat something with corn or oats I get really itchy, even the gluten free versions, but rice doesn't give me that reaction. And also I can eat corn on the cob, but not gluten free corn cereal. Weird. I know it's going to take me awhile to figure this out. Thanks to all for your replies. This thread has been very helpful.
Good for you! I'm gluten "sensitive" as well and get different symptoms depending on the food, ranging from head to toe swelling and upper airway difficulties to GI issues, then there's the rash, oh and the joint pain!! You'd think I'd learn my lesson and never touch the stuff again but sometimes that red velvet cake is calling my name!
It's taken me a lot of trial and error as well but knowing my sister has celiac I want to try to be more conscientious>
