ensign60 I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 12 years ago after losing 25 pounds. I work hard at gaining my weight back with at least 3000 Gluten free safe calories per day. Fourteen years ago I weighed 165 and in spite of eating healthy and a lot I have never managed to get above 145. As far as the Villa are concerned I have been told by several doctors that the villi is never totally cured but being careful of what you eat will keep it from getting any worse. I have been told that malabsorption is the cause of my continuing fight with my weight. I know I don't absorb calcium and I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis eight years ago and that caused my bone structure to weigh less. I take calcium daily and get a shot of Prolia every 6 months. Our only choice at this point is to eat carefully, exercise regularly and hope that a breakthrough medicine will be developed soon.
