So glad to hear he's doing so well. I did know he had ear/hearing problems, so very glad that has been resolved. And keep those wonderful avatar pictures up to date. He's so precious!

Thanks all, I did mention his hearing way back when he was getting ready to go under for the surgery but not since then, hence why I was asked for the update I am sure! :)

I'm so glad that Timothy is doing so much better! I used baby signs with all of my kids. My son was a very late talker and he used them the most!

Yea its a great tool, we actaully useing real ASL, or well as close to it as he can manage. His dexterity is not up there yet. Learning a second language, not matter which one, is sposed to be great for develpoment, so we plan to keep it up. Though latly we been a bit lazy :lol:

Well we had the "IEP" meeting today where they went over the results. If you remember back in Jan/December he was doing poorly and seeming to not improve at all. They retested him in march, and based on those tests he was still significantly delayed, but much improved. Well the newest test results are in, and he is no longer classified as disabled! He scores were border line, which is a huge improvement, and he continues to gain ground at a very fast rate. They said that we should watch him and call them again for retesting if he seems to level out, but as long as he continues to gain at the rate he is going we should have no further issues with speech and language with him. In the other areas, for example fine motor control, he was at or above age level.

The only note of interest they did talk about was his activity level was very high for his age level, they did make sure to point out several times that as his age there is no reason to worry about it, but it is something that will have to be watch as he ages.

So when he turns three he will "graduate" out of the special ed program and not return. Kristi and I plan to ask his speech therapist if we can make some out side arrangement to keep her on a bit longer to help get him that last little bit, but if we can not do that we are not concerned. He is speaking is full sentences now, for example "Can I have that?", its still touch and go with that, but slowly becoming normal.

So thats all we know for now!

That's great news Vincent. You and Kristi have obviously worked hard with him, it's great that it's paying off now. He must be so excited to be able to communicate more also. And with his energy level up I assume that means his diet has had a definite impact on that. :P

Vincent - I did not know about Timothy's hearing problems. That is such awesome news about how well he's doing now! Prayer is a powerful thing....and having great parents doesn't hurt either! Good for you and your wife and the little guy of course!

No one can argue the impact of the diet. It literly saved his life, even the GI doc said all his numbers show it. While he does not have perfect tradtional dx for celiac disease, theres no question his health has had a remarkable turn around.

The last year with him (he was DX'd celiac disease when he was 21 months old not 18, ops :unsure: ) has been nothing but improvement apon improvement.

That's awesome, Vincent! Make sure you don't let him forget his signs! Spanish was my first language (well, along with English, but my spanish was better) and I forgot it by the time I was 5 because nobody was around to talk to me in Spanish anymore :blink:

Although, since he's already had exposure to a second language at such a young age, it will probably be easier for him to learn other languages, signed or spoken :)

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
