 Tips to Gain Weight while Eating a Gluten-Free Diet:

•  Look for alternatives – Check with your doctor about the alternatives that are available to you and include them in your diet. Even if you cannot eat wheat and many other grains, you still have various other options such as Buckwheat, Quinoa, Oats,  Millet, Corn, Ragi , Jowar , Bajra, Brown rice and Amaranth. These grains can not only fill your tummy, they can also supply your body with all the required nutrients and calories. These grains might not feel nice on your palate initially but gradually your tongue will start liking them and you can try different combinations to make them interesting and delicious. After all, you must remember that your gut will remain healthy only if you consume foods that are free of gluten.

• Eat lots of dried fruits and nuts – While you’re on a gluten-free weight gain diet, you can eat lots of dried fruits and nuts. Loaded with antioxidants, dried fruits are gluten-free and they also contain lots of healthy calories. You can eat a handful of assorted nuts and dried fruits like almonds, cashew nuts, raisins, walnuts and pistachios. In the summers, it is advisable to soak the almonds overnight and eat them in the morning after peeling them. This is because almonds generate heat in the body and if you eat them without soaking in summers, you can have an upset stomach and it may also cause acne. More over , the peel contains tannin which interfere with nutrient absorption.

• Eat a calorie-rich diet – You need to eat a diet which supplies you with extra calories. Up your calorie intake by at least 500 calories per day. You can do this gradually. Some gluten free foods that can help you to gain weight include corn chips, peanuts, ice cream, cheese, juice, hummus and milk. Other foods that you can eat are eggs, chicken, fish, potatoes, legumes, soy, cassava, sorghum, avocados and arrowroot, since they also supply significant amount of calories. It isn’t difficult to find gluten-free foods in the supermarkets. They are flooded with various gluten free foods. You can easily find pasta, bread, crackers, pizza base, cereals, burger buns, cakes, muffins and pancakes that are gluten-free. You can cook food in olive oil since it helps to add calories to the body. Salads dressed in olive oil are not only healthy; they are also calorie rich if you make it like wise and taste extremely nice.

• Prepare your favorite dishes with gluten-free foods – Many people suffering from the celiac disease complain that they can’t eat their favorite foods and so they stop eating. They eat a very limited quantity which not only decreases their weight but also makes them malnourished. This is an incorrect practice. Firstly taste isn’t as important as obtaining the required amount of nutrition, so it’s very important to take proper meals. Secondly, one can easily prepare all the foods using gluten-free ingredients. You can easily find multi-grain breads and other gluten-free baking ingredients at the local grocer’s. There are hundreds of delectable gluten free recipes available on the internet, which you can easily prepare at home.

It is better to avoid sauces or any foods that are fried since they might have used the same oil for frying foods that contain gluten. You can have dips such as hummus or those that are made with hung curd and vegetables. Make your chef know about the restrictions in your diet so that he can prepare food for you accordingly.
