He Put On Four Pounds!

[girlfromclare]

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to post how happy we are. Our son Mark who we put on the gluten-free diet about two months ago and showed immediate results regarding his mood swings, has finally suddenly put on weight. Mark has been just over two stone since he was two... he is nearly five now and has for the first time in those two and a half years has gained 4 lbs... !!!! So excited. Also a cyst that was on his lower eyelid for months and months has finally started to heal also. His appetite is improving every day and he is beginning to show interest in different foods. All of this is like a different child to what we have been dealing with all along.

Thank you to everyone on this board - those who posted to me directly and those who didnt because every post, even reading those by different people with similar problems, have helped me through coping with this disease and making sure that we did everything correctly for our son. My husband has his first consultation with a celiac specialist on valentines day!

Thanks again everyone,

Hoooray!!!! That's wonderful!!!!!

My daughter also had a weight hault around 2. She gained less than a pound in between her 2nd and 5th birthday. Once we put her on a gluten free diet, she immediately gained 5 lbs and grew 3 inches!!!! She's still way small for her age (almost 6 and just a shade over 30 lbs) but she's getting there!!!

I hope the weight gain continues!!! Wishing you continued positive response!!! =)

As someone who has had the same success with my own 5yo daughter, I say congratulations!

I'm really glad you've discovered this. You're a great Mum and she's a luckly little girl!

Woo Hoo! I know how happy you feel. I was just about to post my son's weight gain success after being on the gluten free diet. Doesn't it make you happy that this was caught early enough in time for our kids to grow more?
