Congratulations!! Get ready for the ride of your life; parenthood is the most incredible adventure. Enjoy every moment; you won't believe how fast he grows! (I distinctly remember looking at my 2-month-old son and thinking, "Who took my newborn and replaced him with this 2-month-old???")

Jeanne

Jewels,

THANKS! :D Yep, he is such a blessing. :wub: I've turned into one of those mothers who whips out the photos of her baby for everyone from the grocery store clerk to the postman! :lol:

Jeanne,

Yep, I already have had the thought "who took my newborn and gave me this 2-month old?" It happened a few weeks ago when he outgrew his first outfit. I wanted to cry, but instead I folded it up to put in my keepsake box. Gee whiz, I've turned into this sappy nutcase! :D It was 2 a.m. and I was changing a poopy diaper and I couldn't shove his leg in the little jumper; I realized he was too long for it and I just lost it! (keep in mind, I was also sleep deprived). I debated on whether or not to go get the scissors and cut the feet out of the jumper and shove him into it or just accept that my baby was growing up. :blink: I finally decided on the latter of the choices. (although, to tell the truth, all that saved that outfit is that I couldn't find the scissors)! ;)

Hugs and blessings. -Julie

Well, enjoy sappy nutcase-dom; it's the best part, I think. And the sleep deprivation will eventually get better too! :)

Well, enjoy sappy nutcase-dom :)

Jeanne

HAAA! :lol: Thank you, I will try! He is constantly shoving his right hand in his mouth, and everyone keeps telling me that he's hungry...but I know he's not. He's just at that stage where he's discovering he can fit his hand in his mouth whenever he wants to do it. If I fed him everytime he shoved that fist into his mouth, he would have a bottle all day! :rolleyes: He's also started this new thing of trying to chew on his tongue and stick it out; again, people say that this gesture means he's hungry too. I really can't see how he can be constantly hungry; I think he's discovering his body. Any thoughts? :huh:

Blessings to all.

There seem to be two (maybe more) trains of thought. There is the: if he makes a noise or movement he is hungry crowd, and the baby doesn't need to eat every minute crowd. When my daugher was six weeks old, I was at my mom's and my daughter started to fuss. I started to nurse her (again!) and my mom told me to hand her over. She walked around with her a little and she settled right down. She taught me not to automatically feed the baby everytime she fussed. I was able to spread the feedings apart so I could get a little rest in between. My twin sister however belonged to the other camp and every time her babies made a noise she'd feed them. All of our kids have turned out fine. I liked my way better for me and my sister liked her way better for her. You'll get lots of advice with your kids. Figure out what works for you and don't worry about it.

Thanks for your response! :) What you said makes sense. And my baby is healthy; he is "officially" two months today and weighs about 15 pounds...so he's eating well! :P Being a first time mom, I'm trying to take all opinions into consideration. But I guess I know my child best. Thank you for sharing your story!

-Julie

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
