1 Month Gluten Free Tomorrow

[vampella]

I am so happy I have my little girl back.

She's healthy again & from what I can tell on my scale she's gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks. that is so great since she lost about 5lbs in the last 2-3 months.

Happy 1 month gluten-free to EMMAH...woooohoooo

Aw, how nicw, Vampella.

Ok so my scale lies...LMAO BUT she did gain 1 FULL lb.!!! YAY!!!! in 2 weeks, he was so pleased. he said "normal" children sometimes don't gain that much in 6-9 months or a year. She doesn't have to go back for a MONTH woooooohoooooo!!!! we graduated from weekly to 2 weeks and now a full month.

I think when we go to the GI in january I'm gonna have a fight on my hands. Our ped keeps saying he's going to want her on gluten and I keep saying no.

He said well why not? I said I will NOT abuse my child by making her sick. I don't need an official diagnoses that bad, if he wants one too darn bad. lol he keeps saying I'll have to fight that one out with the GI spec. Well I WILL. no way in heck, she's healthy now and happy.

He said in his letter to the GI that he did say that she was gluten-free and that despite the neg blood work he HIGHLY suspects that she has celiac D & that she was responding great to the diet!!!!

He did request an IgA Test and I will get that done Monday. Here in manitoba they only have to run the TtG because "apparently" it's the best out there. for blood.

In a way I hope it's a low result because then I can say hey no way is she going back on gluten for a stupid biopsy, here is reason number 2...a low IgA causes faulse neg's and that is your positive result but either way she's NOT going back on gluten.

Thanks for letting me vent
