I just wanted to share that I took my kids to the dr. today because my little one had his 2-year well baby check and my daughter is sick with the flu. Although it is sad that my daughter has the flu, I was SO excited to learn that she is now 34lbs. and almost 38 inches tall!!! This is HUGE for her. The last time she was measured, 10 months ago, she was only 34.5 inches. She is still on the short side, but so much better. The last time we were there she was below the 5th percentile and now she's at the 20th! I should add that I am 5'8 and my husband is 6'4 so there is no reason either of my kids would be short (other than the fact that she was literally starving before going on the diet). Also, she had some major issues with hair loss and they have totally resolved and she looks great! I am going to try to post some pictures of her hair loss so you can see how far she's come. It's really amazing. My son is also doing well and is 27lbs and 35 inches tall at 2! They are both just doing great and it's such a good feeling.

I just wanted to share my happiness and thank you all for being such a great support system through all of this. I will try to add these pictures here and see if it works...

Ok, I don't think that worked, so I'll just put one on my avatar.

Thanks for your kind words. I am actually thrilled with her recent growth and of course thrilled that she seems to healthy and happy these days. It was a long time coming, but well worth all we went through.

Thanks again!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. 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.):
