How long should it take a child diagnosed with celiac disease to have normalized bloodwork numbers on a gluten free diet?

It really depends. Mine were normal after 6 months, some people will still show elevated for a year or more. That's with a strict gluten-free diet. 

Early on it's best to judge recovery by seeing if symptoms improve. Labs should still be done periodically to make sure they are going down but it can take quite a while for them to get back to normal.

If they are 100% gluten-free it can take anywhere for a few weeks to a few months for their tests to normalize.

I would just add that the lower the number are to begin with, the faster it will likely occur, and the higher the numbers, the longer it could take.

      @Jmartes71, What a stressful journey!  I'm so glad you found your way here.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms.  Which supplements are you taking?  Just herbal ones or vitamins?

      Do you consume dairy? Have you recently had an infection or cold? Do you have digestive symptoms?   Do you eat processed gluten free foods? What is your Vitamin D level?

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      @lizzie42, How are your daughter's bowel movements?  Does she have gas, diarrhea or constipation?  Does her squeezing feeling move around in her abdomen or is it consistently in one spot?  Is she dehydrated? How much fruit does she eat?  Fruit juices? I'd recommend cutting out the cheese for a while, till you get it sorted.
