Excited And Need To Tell You

I'm feeling giddy inside and need to post this about my daughter. I am worried it's just a fluke and will go away when we wake up tomorrow.

She had an almost normal stool tonight for the first time in a long time. No diarrhea!! Then she had a whole bunch of energy and was actually JOGGING around our street, collecting rocks and leaves and a worm. She played with her sister outside without any fights for a long time. This is a girl who is annoyed a lot and watches a lot of TV because she is so tired all the time, does a lot of whining and squirming. She got off the school bus today and looked HAPPY. She usually is tired and complaining and wants to be held.

Can it really be the diet after only 2 days? It has to be the diet because I've not seen her like this for years. She's like a changed person (knock on wood). Even her sister said "Something is wrong with her. I threw her necklace and she didn't even get mad at me".

Susan (mom to Savanna, age 6, gluten/casein free - 9/16/08)

It was that instant for us with both of our kids-Thank God, right!!! It's such a relief. I'm so glad she's feeling better!

That is great! It is a wonderful feeling to watch your child feel well for the first time....I still remember the moment vividly even though it was 3 years ago. My husband and I realized about the same time that Emmie was playing by herself. This was huge for her, and it was the first time in about 2 years that she wasn't in my arms or stuck to me like glue. She was happily, and quietly, playing. Such a simple thing, but we realized how huge it was.

Congratulations again, and good luck on your new eating adventures....knowing your child is feeling better makes the difficult aspects of the diet much easier to handle!

Isn't it just amazing and wonderful! Welcome to the rewards of gluten free parenting! Seeing your kids blossom is so incredible. I've said many times that our life was much harder pre-diagnosis, we just didn't know it! I know my son's life is so much better now. I'm so happy for you and your daughter (and her sister! :D ).

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. This has been the most difficult and confusing journey to date for me, and it has been going on since 2015/2016. The last dietitian I met with works with a lot of celiac patients, so I was excited, but she just thought I should be able to eat gluten free (whatever that may be) stay in a carb count and my diabetes would not be affected. WRONG. I have tried this several times since I crossed over to full blown diabetes, because I get so sick eating gluten that I end up getting frustrated and go back to gluten free to get some relief. I have a continuous glucose monitor so it is easy to see how my body and glucose are reacting to foods...

      Am I celiac or not?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just like you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little Celiac.  Here is an article I found that explains what the numbers mean. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Here is another article about the non traditional symptoms of Celiac Disease. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? I've been taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 since 2015.  My blood tests every 3 months for 25(OH)D have never gone above 93 ng/ml, even in the Florida summer.  70 - 100 is the body's natural homeostasis level. Surge of information on benefits of vitamin D "“When combined with supplemental magnesium, vitamin D repletion has dramatically changed my practice,” said...

      Interesting! Recent labs I had done did show that I was low in Vitamin D so I just began supplementing, it’s hard to tell so soon but it does seem to have a positive affect! Thanks for the input!

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary...

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.
