Yes, celiac disease prevents nutrient absorption, leading to weight loss. Once you start a gluten-free diet and your gut heals, you can slowly start light home workouts to build back your strength.

Beta, if you are losing weight rapidly, your body is not absorbing food. Try eating light, easily digestible khichdi made of rice and moong dal, and avoid wheat completely until you see a doctor.

If you suspect celiac is causing your weight loss, plan your budget for a celiac profile blood test, which costs around 1500 to 2500 rupees in major labs. It is better to spend on a proper test first rather than buying expensive gluten-free products blindly.

I tracked my food and weight drops on my fitness app and realized malabsorption was the issue. Celiac destroys gut villi, causing weight loss, so tracking your symptoms alongside a doctor's advice is really helpful.
