One More Question

Thanks, Julie, for your response to my earlier questions. I thought of one more:

One of his symptoms is stunted growth. Basically he appears to have stopped growing around 12 mos of age. If he does have celiac will this be resolved? In other words, will he return to his normal growth curve or will he remain short the rest of his life?

Thanks again.

Hi. I can't offer much help on the little guys but I have read that short stature or not thriving is a symptom of celiac in children. Have you read any of the post in the forum "Parents of Children with Celiac Disease"? That might help answer many of your questions while your waiting on someone more informed to answer.

Good Luck with your testing your little guy is precious.

Jennifer

Once he is gluten free 100% and heals he should continue his normal growing and his body will catch up if the growth being stopped was celiac related.

When my symptoms started up my growth stopped at about 5'2. I was 16 at the time of diagnosis....now I am 18 and 5'4 and still noticing a change in height. Kids and teens who had delayed and stunted growth due to celiac usually will catch up. I don't think that should be a worry of yours one bit.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?
