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

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

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
