Coeliac weight loss

[IAmGrootGrootGroot]

I have posted this in the weight loss section but it occurred to me that the coeliacs are most likely all over here.
It's me again 👋

I'm in the process of possibly being diagnosed with coeliac disease (positive blood test, awaiting endoscopy).

I'm 2 stone overweight (quite possibly 3 now with the way I've been eating 😐 one last hurrah before diagnosis and all that)
I've struggled to lose this weight, no matter what kind of diet I try.

Has anyone managed to lose weight after going GF?
I was hoping the silver lining would be shifting this weight (what with the usual delicious suspects being out of bounds) but I've read numerous things about coeliacs actually putting on weight after diagnosis 😕

So has anyone managed it?

Sorry to say this, but I put weight on after diagnosis.

I used to eat a lot of bread, and once that stopped I felt permanently hungry and started eating all sorts of unhealthy things because they were gluten free and went some way to assuaging the hunger. I'm only now beginning to get a handle on it.
