Within weeks of my first symptoms in 2013, I lost 14 lbs. I did not need to lose any weight.
I didn't have much fat on me...I lost muscle and collagen. My face was gaunt and hollows under my eyes.
That was spring of 2013.
Started treating July, 2014. Within a few months, I gained a couple lbs. And that continued - by spring, 2015, I was back to my normal weight.
BUT, my muscles still aren't the same...they're softer if that makes sense.
And the backs of my hands look horrible.
I did gluten, sugar, and dairy free (or very limited dairy) for several months - and I didn't feel any better.
So, now I eat what I want. I rarely do eat gluten though.
I still do eat quite healthy. My dinners are usually some lean chicken and a large salad.
