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!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
