Well took Tim in for his 1 year follow up (well FINE it was sposed to be 9 months, but no one is perfect! :D ) with his Pedi-GI. Got a great report all the way around. The Doc is not happy that he did not have a postive bisopy to point to, but said "it is hard to argue with the success of the diet". The diets success was amazing He said keep him on the diet, and while he does not like the idea of a gluten challenge for Tim (because of how bad he had gotten), he figures that its inevitible that sooner or later it would happen just by mistake or Tim decideing to test it himself when he gets a bit older. At 37 pounds and 38 inches tall he is back on track for growth at his age (about 2 1/2 yrs old ) Overall he is very happy with the results of the diet and is perfectly content to leave success alone. :)

Over all we are very happy with Dr Ridel. He seems to realy care, and know his stuff. He wants use to touch base yearly to make sure all continues to go well and talked about running some nutritional labs on him, I declined for today but next year we might. He said there was no indication that he had any nutrional deficiences now, and the test would only be precutionary standard procedure type thing.

Timothy continues to leap foward with mental development since being gluten-free, still behind but he has made up alot of ground and continues to shoot foward. In some areas he is even a head for his age, while others are still behind enough that we get free tutors from the state/city to help him catch up.

So thats that!

WooHoo! Dr. Reidel is Megan's Dr. too, or at least one of the MANY! I really like him. I think if we had found him a year ago we wouldn't be where we are now. I'm so glad Timmy is doing so good. God is good!

I am so glad you were able to see him and that he worked out for you, bieng so far away from Vandy I was not sure it would. Gosh I still laugh that after I recomend him to you I was surprised ot find out you were going to him! :lol:

I honestly and truely belive Timothy would not have lived to see today if gluten intorelance was not discovered. In away everyone here helped save his life!

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
