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!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
