Hi. I struggle with anorexia and now I am scared of gaining weight from being on this diet (gluten intolerance). I have read about it, it seems that people generally gain weight. Only the thought that being on this diet that may have me gains weight, makes it almost not worth it to me. Anyone else knows what am I talking about?

I am also recovered from anorexia. I recently learned I have gluten intolerance. Like you, I initially feared weight gain with the gluten free diet that healing my intestines would make me absorb much more nutrition. Part of my ED recovery process was learning to obey my own body cues of hunger. Before I got gluten free, I used to eat from pain of being very hungry to pain being uncomfortably full, so healing my intestines by avoiding gluten made recognizing satisfaction different.
