Well I finally had my sixteen year son tested (his sister was diagnosed last June).  Been worried.  He's six foot, four - size eighteen feet!! - and pretty attached to his burger and pizza habit.  Came back negative.  Relieved.  Sixteen year olds are rather "difficult" I'm discovering. :)

It's suggested retesting every 3 years or if symptom present. Good he's "safe" for now though!

Really?  I did not know that.  I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Oh my goodness!!! Size 18 feet?!?! And here I thought my 15 year old's feet were big @ size 14/15!!!! :) Not quite as tall as your son though I suspect he still has some growing to do. :)

 

My son has actually surprised me quite a bit with his willingness to eat gluten free with us (he tested negative as well but we're gluten-free as a household) and aside from his still frustrating issue of not eating veggies of any kind except lettuce he has come a very long way considering his pickiness! :)

Well that's good.  I've had a battle with mine, because of course I predominantly cook gluten-free now.  I do buy him frozen pizzas/burritos, however, and his dad takes him out to eat regularly. 

 

Yes, I'm in Canada, so I have to order the shoes from the US - duty and shipping - I need two jobs I think!

I have problems finding shoes here in the stores...I can just imagine how much more it would be to have to order them from out of the country! Oy! And here I've been thinking I'd need two jobs just for mine! :) Eventually they stop growing, right?!? It's weird seeing the size difference between him and his younger brother. Granted there's a 10 year difference....but my 15 year old has ALWAYS been big for his age. So my 6 year old is like a little peanut. Tiny little guy that does not grow very quickly (guess that's part of the Celiac!) Anyway....here's to growing boys!

Yes, my 12 year old daughter (celiac) is very small and petite.  They don't even look like they're related!!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
