I haven't been here for a while. Bogged down in forensic physchologist, lawyer, 3 year old and work. I had no time to do anything extra but breath. Yes that was an extra. Good news, though. Some of you may remember my soon to be ex-husband was trying to accuse me of neglect because my now 3 year old was not growing. I found a doctor with celiac disease in Ok. City. He diagnosed her with gluten/casien sensitivity. He sent her to an endocrinologist who diagnosed her with intro-uterine growth retardation (probably due to a small or unhealthy placenta). She will always be around the 5th percentile. Gluten/casien prevents her from gaining weight. She has been gluten free and is gaining slowly but surely. With his testimony and with the forensic physchologist testifying that my husband is unsafe around children things are looking much better. We do not know if he will get a few hours a week supervised visitation from now on or if he will lose parental rights all together. Either way the stress level at my house has gone down to a somewhat normal level. Things are looking up. I look forward to being here on the forum again. Thanks everyone for being here.

Glad to hear that things are going better for you!

I just wanted to let you know that my #1 son was born at 37 weeks weighing 4 1/2 pounds, was diagnosed with IUGR, and has probable gluten/casein issues.

I had him on "gluten-lite" even before I knew about gluten, just because I didn't think that there was much nutrition in bread. I went heavy on fish, meat, chicken, legumes, veggies, and fruit, and it really paid off.

He is now, at age 12, taller than I am, and, as far as we know, healthy.

So your little peanut may grow, too! And if she stays small, it will probably be because she is genetically meant to be small.

Best of luck to you both!

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
