We went for Belle's 4 year check up today and boy has being gluten-free made a difference!! Last year she was in the 5% for weight which is where she has been forever! Well, she has been gluten-free for 4.5 months now and has gained 4.5 lbs during that time! She is up to 30.5 lbs which is 25%!!! She is doing so much better!! She is still a skinny minny for 4 but we are getting there! The doc was so pleased with her progress!

YAY,

BTw she may not ever get very high, because I have been gluten-free for 14 years, and are almost clinically diagnosed with annorexia just by my weight, under 100 and almost 5'8"

Congrats Becky & Belle! Being skinny is good...Ty's GI doc said his diet is working (4-5 lbs in 6 months) and that he's moved up the scale from scrawny to skinny.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.
    • RMJ
      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
