this is my son's growth chart. he's been gluten-free for 2 months now and gained the same amount of weight in that time that he had gained in the 12 mo. before that. the doctors thought I was crazy to be worried about it but if this isn't a positive response to the diet I don't know what is!

Congratulations!! I know what a relief this must be for you. We had the same thing happen to us, our son has been gluten-free since mid-March, not only has he grown at least 2 inches since then, he started talking in complete sentences, potty trained, less tantrums and time out times, more focus, plus, he's had the same shoe size (5) since he was 12 mo old, he's 34 mo old right now and he's up to a 7.5 just in the last month!! (He has been a bit more irritable since he's growing so fast). He's also eating us out of house and home. I can't remember a time-before the gluten-free diet- when he actually sat with us and ate any dinner at all, last night he had 2 big pieces of homemade pizza and a few veggies! Our dr didn't think there was anything wrong either, he was consistantly growing at the 10th %. My dh is 6'5" and I'm 5'11"--I'm pretty sure we aren't capable of having petite children :lol:

That's wonderful news! Good job to all of you!

Doctors can be frustrating. My dad routinely reminds me they are just practicing medicine. And sometimes you'll have a great experience and others not so great! My son was always in the 90-95th percentile so our doctors kept telling us he was fine and to stop worrying. Well I'm 6' and my hubby is 6'2". He's been growing a lot the last 6 months (not like yours though!). I shudder to think how big he was supposed to be!

Congrats on such wonderful news!!

That is great news! I know how happy you feel. My son has been gluten-free for 3 months and has gained 3 pounds. He only gained 1 pound from March 07-March 08 (before he was gluten-free). His doctor was also not concerned that he had only gained one pound in one year. Her explanation for his lack of weight gain was that my husband and I are both small people so my kids will be small too. I instisted on bloodwork and he was dx with Celiac plus several food allergies including wheat, corn, soy, and peanuts to name a few.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
