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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
