Fantastic News!

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

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

It's well worth it.

Congratulations on your success - both of you! I don't have a child with Celiac, but I have the utmost respect for mothers that do. Three Cheers to you mom!!

Congratulations. What a great job you've done for her as a mom! And kudos to her for sticking with the diet! I'm very happy for your family.

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.

Congratas, that is awesome news! Hard worked for at that too!

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.
