My Daughter Is Growing!

Yeah!! Ali is growing!! She went in for a check-up a few days ago and gained 10 ounces in two weeks since being gluten-free...here's the really exciting thing...she woke up this morning with three new teeth!! She had a new one earlier in the week, too...so, that makes four teeth in a week! She's miserable and cranky, but she's proud owner of four brand spankin' new teeth. Awesome!

Ali has been so behind in weight (she's now up to 20lbs 3oz at about 18 months) and had only 7 teeth until this week. Her hair was so fine and limp and barely there...now it's getting pretty long and full in the back.

I'm just so excited that she's feeling so much better and we've begun to finally tackle all of this head-on. It's been so exciting to see her change over the past couple of weeks. She's happier, healthier and is just taking off like a little weed!

:P That is the best news o Ali. I remember that awesome feeling when my daughter Michaela finally started gaining weight. She is a happy 2 1/2 year old now. Since she was diagnosed a year ago she has gained 11 pounds.

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
