Silly Milestone! My Daughter Felt Full!

We're in our 3rd month of living gluten-free and we've seen so many big changes! But last night's was a real eye opener. Our 3 year old actually ate her dinner and asked for seconds and then thirds. Afterward, she said that her tummy felt funny. I got worried about CC from prepackaged food (we were eating Amy's gluten free pizza for the first time) but she said "not bad funny, just tight funny." My little girl ate so much she was full!

I think that is probably the first time she's felt good enough to eat until she was full since she was symptomatic. :)

Anyone else have any of those "feeling better" milestones?

OH YES! That is a lovely milestone!!!

I love when my daughter gets the feeling of fullness because something she at was so yummy!!!

My favorites are when we find a food she loves and then find out it is gluten-free to boot! Like T Marzettie's caramel apple dip!!!! Or really hit the jackpot with a gluten-free substitute food and it tastes wonderful. That recently happened with some croutons we bought from a local gluten-free bakery. They were AMAZING!!! We ate the whole bag of them while we shopped!

About a month into being gluten free my daughter (previously so pale and with so little sub-cutaneous fat that you could see every single vein and artery under her skin) turned pink. She was pink from head to toe - it was wonderful to see colour on her face arms, legs.

Even a kid from daycare noticed that she was pink!

It was a milestone I won't forget.

K we've been gluten-free for over a year now, but when we first went gluten-free, I got a ton better super fast. But one of my problems was that I don't have a sense of hunger (hadn't for years). And hence I forget to eat, and then I gain weight (at one point I gained 80 lbs in 1 year, by eating under 1,000 cals/day).

So about a week after I went gluten-free I had this super weird feeling... it took me about 20 min to figure out, I was HUNGRY! I still don't have a consistant sense of hunger (about once a week or so) but it felt like SUCH a big deal!! We cried and hugged, and things were so happy!!

So happy ur kiddo is feelin better!! Yay!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
