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!

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
