<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My husband was diagnosed with CD June 1996. At the time he was only eating a few mouthfuls of food a day as he felt so ill. Within about a week of diagnosis and following GF diet his appetite improved and rapidly became non-stop eating! This lasted a few months and he is now eating more like he used before CD symptoms developed. His weight has levelled off, but he is now about 6-9 pounds lighter than he used to be which means he may be a bit underweight now - but at least he feels better, he's fitter and more like his usual self so life is a lot better now.
