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".

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 ).

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
