A member asked:

I have celiac w/magnesium & calcium deficiency, gained a lot of weight due to it. by staying wheat free and taking vitamins, will i be able to lose ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stay gluten free: It is really important for you to stay gluten free, & probiotics & prebiotics will help your gut return to good health. By losing the inflammation & malabsorption that comes with celiac your body/system will be much less stressed. All in all, it should be easier for you to maintain a normal weight.
