And let's say it is celiac. Eating meat and no sugar alone is not enough on Atkins. You would be in a special situation like myself.

There are additives and preservatives (which all should avoid, but most are fine with) in processed meats and sausages. There are things like hydorgenated oils, and fillers which are carb and sugar free, but that you can't have as someone with Celiac disease.

If say thats what it was, you really do need a gastrointestinal specialist to evaluate you, because usually there are a whole host of other things that you have going on. Blood pressure, thyroid, vitamin deficiencies. Not to mention there are two types of celiac disease....."regular" and then refractory...which is where your immune system does not respond to being gluten free.

Sorry, I just don't want anyone thinking they can self medicate with diet. The blood pressure issue, muscle loss and rapid weight loss are big red flags (even on Atkins).
