Nutritionist: Visit with a nutritionist to make sure your celiac disease is under good control. There are plenty of healthy and bulking yet safe foods you can eat. If you are still not gaining weight, you need to see your GI doc for more testing to assure that he disease is being controlled by diet alone.

Eat gluten free diet: Eat gluten free diet. Once your intestine heals the damage, people eating gluten free substitutes for bread, crackers, and other wheat containing items actually tend to gain about 15 lbs on average because the gluten free substitutes in general have more calories than wheat containing foods. You can also supplement with ensure shakes if you are concerned about your weight, they are gluten free.
