Tymber The Wonder Toddler!

(for more detailed history check Open Original Shared Link )

Wow, to day is a real YAHOO kind of day. Its hard to think where we were 16monhts or so ago...

At that time our son was literly dieing. Which each passing day, he was regressing physically and mentaly... his scores at the time (he was about 20 months old) were that of a ten month old. I wont depress you with all the detials, some of you lived simular or worse stories (TCA comes to mind!)...

But August 13th will be his 3rd birthday, a day at one time this world offered no good reason why we should believe would come! And man its comming with a massive bang! First we learn he is off the disabled list (see the old thread linked above), and now we get these test scores back:

Tims SCores

WOW!! Check out those numbers!!! Nothing short of a miraculous turn around!!

To go from holding my only son in my arms at 2am who is screaming in pain with no medical treatment having ANY effect to planing a birthday party for a healthy and over active toddler is unbelievalbe!

THose of you that read The Holy Bible are probably falimure with John 3:16... "For He so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son..." , let me tell you somthing... that scripture has a new and powerful meaning to me. I do not think you can truly understand it till you been there.... Indeed it was only our faith that got us through it to the eventual discovery of celiac disease, the gluten-free diet and this forum. Without which we would not have a 3rd birthday.

Some of you reading this might just be starting out on the gluten-free journy, hopefully our sucess will encourage you! It can be done... sure we had our mistakes along the way, but we got here!

I just had to share!

Vincent, those scores look great, he sounds like a very normal, sweet toddler now (and looks like an angel). You must be ecstatic.

Vincent,

So glad your son is doing SO awesome! Yes, my two year old was diagnosed around the time I believe your son was and so I know how wonderful the many things they can do are twice as rewarding as they were even for my other two children. It is SO nice to not have them in pain and see them eating, growing and thriving!

Have a wonderful 3rd birthday Tymber!

Looking at him today you cant tell what we went through... it amazing how well young ones bounce back. He is HUGE, dwarfs most kids his age now, not fat at all though (see his pics on Open Original Shared Link ) just huge :) Built like my father realy.

I am so happy for all of you. But, especially happy for Timothy. Because of you being his parents never giving up, Timothy will now have a quality of life that every child should have. Take plenty of pics of his 3rd Birthday party. My favorite is still the one you are using now for your Avitar.

Hooray for little Tymber! God is so good! And way to go mom and dad to be diligent parents to help him get to this point!

Enjoy having a 3 year old red head. My red-headed son was so much fun at that age! Everyone started asking him at about that age, "where did you get that red hair?" and he would always say, "It's not red, it's orange!".

WHat I am about to say is gonna sound like a joke, but its a true story...

For a long while if you said "Where di he get that red hair from?" he would turn and look! I think he had heard it so much he thought it was his name....

Its AWLAYS the first question any one asks that meets him for the first time. Its a scream :D (Ive had nice asnwers like "the mail man" or "Walmart, asle 3" ...)

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
