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.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
