19-month Old Dd Just Diagnosed

Hello all.

My daughter, Vicky, is 19 months old and was just diagnosed with Celiacs. My dad was diagnosed (in his 50s) about 3 years ago. Presently, the diagnosis has been through the anti-endomesial antibody blood screening and we visit a pediatric GI doc next week.

I'm sure our story is familiar, so y'all don't need the minute details. As a baby she had reflux (controlled by Prevacid) and when she transitioned to solid food, she seemed to do ok. We took her off the medication at about 12 months and she was just getting into table food. However, she was not a big eater at all and at 15 months, she had gained weight (compared to 12 months), but not along the same curve (normally the 30-40% in weight). In June/July we noticed that her eating was getting very sparse and that she was getting skinny

I know it's going to be tough to adapt your daughter to a new diet, but there are so many great gluten-free foods she will enjoy, that the transition may not be that difficult.

I agree that you need to keep her on glutens until after you visit the GI doc. Good luck to you.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
