i was over 80kg about 4 months ago, the weight and severe symptoms came on shockingly fast, and it wasn't starchy foods that was really doing it, just a lot of milk, after decades of energy drinks and potato chips
the first sign of it was getting double vision and chronic severe tinnitis in 2023
i had been steadily moving more and more consistently towards a paleo/keto diet since 2015... the problems are completely unbearable now, basically can't eat any high carb foods, i have celiac as well, confirmed, can't eat bread or wheat products, and a lot of things including potato chip flavor ingredients contain it, can't drink beer, wine is almost ok but vodka makes me get such severe cramping that my muscles are aching for days afterwards and i've done nothing, just the damage from the cramping
until about 4 years ago i was pretty much dead stable at 65kg all my adult life, and, except a few brief patches of heavy potato consumption, and later this milk thing... and yes, i already knew milk was a major weight gainer for me... it just has a lower GI than most other forms of carbs so it helps for a while at first - that's how i adopted this online name for nostr also
yeah, i got lots of stuff i gotta be careful with now... i can't believe it took me so long to learn that a dermatitis that i get is a symptom of celiac tho... i mean, i first started getting it 25 years ago and never figured it out until a couple weeks back
