He Put On Four Pounds!

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,

Liz (Ireland

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?

Congrats Liz, I'm so happy that your son is finally doing better. Isn't it amazing what eliminating gluten from one's diet can do? Man it's just the most amazing thing!! Keep us posted!!

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
