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 ).

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Looking for a gluten-free roomie in Denver CO

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
