Just got the results of my Daughters blood work for Celiac Disease. She was dx'd 1 year ago this month, complete with

positive biopsy. Well now, 1 year later, her count is now completely normal -- YIPPPEEE SKIPPPY! She did it -- we did it.

She was really happy when we told her the great news how proud we were of her results, that we know it hasn't been easy.

And she knows that she still has to keep up the gluten-free diet. I know she feels better -- much happier :D

So if anyone is a struggling parent of a Celiac kid, and you feel overwhelmed, just hang in there.

It's well worth it.

WOOOHOOO!!! Way to go on those test results! It felt so good to get my daughter into the normal range after just 3 months! Makes me feel good as a mommy and super proud of her for sticking with it and feeling well.

It is quite an accomplishment!

Thanks all! I don't know how long she has been "normal", I just thought we'd give it a year

before I re-checked. I use "normal" cautiously, because we all know that this is a lifetime thing,

and I don't want her to ever have a false impression that she's done being gluten-free.

...although some day, there will be a pill for celiacs to take that will allow foods with gluten.

Congratulations to you and your daughter! That's is wonderful!

Sometimes I wish that my daughter's testing wasn't inconclusive so that we could kind of "check" on how she's doing. Oh well.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By Name · Posted

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
