    Need help gaining weight/need advice

    @azure Beyond happy, but it's still frustrating feeling sick all the time. It really wears me down mentally, but I do my best. It's very possible that celiac disease has caused all my problems. It's possible that I've had it for years without knowing and it gradually damaged me. The worst...

    Need help gaining weight/need advice

    @azure I was diagnosed with celiac disease a little over 2 years ago. They did a biopsy that confirmed it. Yes, celiac disease can cause this so there's no way to really know. I've been gluten free for over 2 years and i'm not any better. @Pinkorchid I have had an anxiety disorder for 15...

    Need help gaining weight/need advice

    When I say I don't trust BMI, I mean that I think they are too generous. Meaning that someone can be underweight, but BMI might say it's normal. It's only complex carbs that I can tolerate.

    Need help gaining weight/need advice

    Need help gaining weight/need advice

    A little over 2 years ago I diagnosed myself with "pre-diabetes". My BG will reach up to 170 1 and two hours after eating. Fasting BG is normal(averge is in the 80's). After about 3 hours my BG crashes down. My A1C tested 2 years ago was 5.2. 3 different doctors told me it's normal. Saw an echo...
