ok, if you can see my pic it shows my toddler's growth from birth to 24 mo. (the chart would only let me put up to 34 lb but he is 36 lb now and is actually 25 mo. now) so anyway, you can see why I am excited... he was off the charts before and now he is off the charts again! and the dr's didn't believe that there was a problem when he stopped growing! its obvious that 8 mo. of being gluten free has definitely made a difference!

Congrats! I went through something similar with my DS, who is close in age to yours (Nov 2006). We've been gluten free for 9 months and he's grown 1.5" and gained 10lbs. When he was six months old and went on solid foods he stopped growing and started to lose weight.

Congratulations!!! I know how exciting it is :). DD was 14 1/2 months, we started the gluten-free diet September 30th. So in less than 4 months she has grown 4 inches taller and gained 5 pounds!!! If one more person insists that she is not gluten intolerant I'm just gonna smack em with the growth chart over their head, haha!

Congrats!

Us too, my dd was about 28 months when she got sick over the course of a a month she lost 2+ lbs I don't have a copy of the growth chart but it didn't look pretty, a straight drop down. Now 3+ months gluten free she has gained about 3 lbs I think she is taller too but don't have an acurate measurement.

It is like a miricle she went from so sick she wouldn't even play, telling me her tummy hurt about 100+ times a day and would only sit on my lap to running around being a regular 2 yo.

I am very thankful everyday

Congratulations!! It must feel sooo good to see your baby growing again! My son was just diagnosed in Dec. so we have a ways to go still but I remember how happy I was about 2 weeks ago when he had to go in to the dr. and when they weighed him he was already up 3lbs from his

Great news! I remember the day that DD wasn't the thinnest in her ballet class anymore, such a relief!

That is awesome! My dd has been gluten free for 4 months and so far, not much is improving with her size. I hope to see this happen to us! Thanks for the news!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
