ok, if you can see my pic it shows my toddler's growth from birth to 24 mo. (the chart would only let me put up to 34 lb but he is 36 lb now and is actually 25 mo. now) so anyway, you can see why I am excited... he was off the charts before and now he is off the charts again! and the dr's didn't believe that there was a problem when he stopped growing! its obvious that 8 mo. of being gluten free has definitely made a difference!

Congrats! I went through something similar with my DS, who is close in age to yours (Nov 2006). We've been gluten free for 9 months and he's grown 1.5" and gained 10lbs. When he was six months old and went on solid foods he stopped growing and started to lose weight.

Congratulations!!! I know how exciting it is :). DD was 14 1/2 months, we started the gluten-free diet September 30th. So in less than 4 months she has grown 4 inches taller and gained 5 pounds!!! If one more person insists that she is not gluten intolerant I'm just gonna smack em with the growth chart over their head, haha!

Congrats!

Us too, my dd was about 28 months when she got sick over the course of a a month she lost 2+ lbs I don't have a copy of the growth chart but it didn't look pretty, a straight drop down. Now 3+ months gluten free she has gained about 3 lbs I think she is taller too but don't have an acurate measurement.

It is like a miricle she went from so sick she wouldn't even play, telling me her tummy hurt about 100+ times a day and would only sit on my lap to running around being a regular 2 yo.

I am very thankful everyday

Congratulations!! It must feel sooo good to see your baby growing again! My son was just diagnosed in Dec. so we have a ways to go still but I remember how happy I was about 2 weeks ago when he had to go in to the dr. and when they weighed him he was already up 3lbs from his

Great news! I remember the day that DD wasn't the thinnest in her ballet class anymore, such a relief!

That is awesome! My dd has been gluten free for 4 months and so far, not much is improving with her size. I hope to see this happen to us! Thanks for the news!

      Trying to read my lab results

      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...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      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?

      "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.

      Why?

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

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
