Dear << Test First Name >>:<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Gluten Free Works Health Guide\u00a0Newsletter!<\/p>\n

Gluten can make us fat. It can also make us skinny.<\/p>\n

In fact, gluten makes us sick. It is that sickness which causes the\u00a0weight gain or weight loss. Today we look at the various ways gluten affects weight gain and weight loss as it is influenced by gluten.<\/p>\n

Please email us questions or topic suggestions\u00a0at\u00a0info@glutenfreeworks.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank You!<\/p>\n

Four Ways Gluten Affects Weight Gain and Weight Loss\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Weight loss or weight gain is an indicator of overall health. Gluten affects body composition in the following four ways:<\/p>\n

1. Inflammation.<\/strong> Gluten elicits an immune reaction that\u00a0causes inflammation. Inflammation\u00a0leads to fluid retention. The fluid retention can be\u00a0local, systemic and massive.<\/p>\n

2. Dysbiosis. <\/strong>Gluten causes gut bacteria imbalance. When imbalanced, our gut bacteria are\u00a0unable to help us digest and absorb food properly. As a result, nutrients we need are not absorbed.<\/p>\n

3. Malabsorption. <\/strong>Nutrient malabsorption can result in weight gain or weight loss.<\/p>\n

Weight Gain –\u00a0<\/strong>Chronic intestinal damage results in malabsorption. When we do not have the nutrients we need, our hunger mechanism is triggered. But, we may absorb some nutrients perfectly, so as we eat more to gain the missing nutrients, we over consume\u00a0the nutrients we absorb leading to weight gain.\u00a0Also, if nutrients are not absorbed in the small intestine, then they get dumped into the colon where bacteria ferment them into short chain fatty acids which are absorbed. Finally, if\u00a0certain nutrients are not being properly absorbed, edema of the lower extremities will occur, which may look like fat to some, but is actually fluid.<\/p>\n

Weight Loss – <\/strong>Diarrhea will cause malabsorption, since nutrients do not have enough transit time in the intestine to be absorbed. The celiac immune reaction along the intestinal lining causes malabsorption. The intestine is inflamed and thickened, surface area is diminished and nutrients are unable to pass through the thickened lining.\u00a0If nutrients are not being absorbed, then muscles cannot be rebuilt. Nutrients needed for energy metabolism will be missing. Even the appetite can be affected, where the hunger mechanism no longer functions properly.<\/p>\n

4. Thyroid.<\/strong> Gluten affects the thyroid, causing hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Both influence body composition, weight gain or weight loss.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> If unexplained weight loss, weight gain or malaise are present, review the Body Composition Category<\/a>. You can also look up your symptoms under the Health Condition Search<\/a>.\u00a0Note the causes, including nutrient deficiencies. Then, follow the steps listed for correcting the issues.<\/p>\n
