Congratulations. I know you must feel awesome with that great news. My toddler was dx'd in early march. Her test just read greater than 100 then, and when we retested last week, it was still greater than 100. So I am hoping to have some good news in a few more months. I was wondering the same thing about how long it takes for healing.

Okay, mouth. Sorry. I am an idiot. You are the one who started this thread and you've already told us your daughter's numbers! Sorry! This gives me comfort.

So did your daugther get checked at 3 months after diagnosis? Cause that's how long it's been for us and it seems a little too early for numbers to drop for me...Do you mind telling me what her level was at 6 months after diagnosis?

I have no idea how long the healing takes, but have u seen any difference since you have gone gluten-free?? That is important in istself.. It does take a while for the numbers to start to go down.. I wouldn't worry unless its a while and they dont go down at all.. then more testing maybe required. That is what happened with my friend. Then they found out her daughter could not even break down processed gluten-free foods. Her GI sent her to another top notch specialist-- another special diet was needed for like years and now she is on the regular gluten-free diet and her numbers have gone down..

So have patience.. As long as you trust your GI, and trust your instincts, and read your labels, you should be ok.. Be glad that your child was Dx'd as an infant and not a 13 year old.. It is much harder.. Now your child will no no other way... That is sort of good..

Any way, God Bless and Stay well

EAT WELL TO BE WELL

I guess that it depends on the Dr. My daughter it was we think 3 months also and there was no difference at 6 months, she was down to 68, then 6 months later she was up to 72. 3 months after that which is now she is at 42..

But I don't know if this has anything to do with it at all, but when she finally got a gray area biopsy and the pathologist said "base it on the blood wk" she was well over 100 and had gone thru a tremendous growth spurt.

She went from a 7 slim jeans in June 2006 to a size 10 regular by December 2006. Then In Jan 2007 she had t go into a size 12.. The 12's she has been wearing since- but mind you she had no choice the 10's were too small and the 12's too long and she needed a belt.. 12 slim didnt quite make it.. So now (or till now) she has grown enough that they are starting to get short, and she filled them out and is out growing them again. And Is in the Midst of antoher growth spurt. Also in her first growth spurt her bone age jumped 2 years in 6 months.. That is how small she was.. Right now I only have an inch on her (im 4-9) but she weighs in at 5 lbs less than i did when i graduated HS..

Any way enuf of the babbling here

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
