I posted last month about my 5 yo being diagnosed with Celiac on Jan 8. He has been gluten-free for 5 weeks now and his massive, distended belly is GONE!! His arms & legs have thickened up. His belly aches and leg cramps are gone. We haven't noticed any growth yet but are hoping. He is my meat, veggie and fruit eater and has handled the transistion to being gluten-free like a champ. I am so proud of him.

My 4 yo son's bloodwork came back completely negative...no questions. My daughter (just turned 2) came back IGA deficient so the GI ordered the test to see if she had the gene. We just got the results yesterday that it was negative.....and I admit I did a touchdown dance!! Hubby & I also tested negative but we are not pursuing any further testing. My 4 yo, hubby & I will continue to have the panel done each year at our check ups, but pending anyone becoming symptomatic we will just motor on. My hubby did test positive for a wheat allergy but I tested negative. Hubby went gluten-free with our son to see if it would help with his crippling migraines and he is seeing slow, but sure, results.

Anyway, after a harsh month it's been a good time around here so I wanted to share :o) Thanks for all that helped me out when I first posted last month!!

Thank you everybody. Yes, it is VERY rewarding to see your child get better. I know that we have challenges ahead, but for now, after a month, it is nice to feel "normal" in our home and now where we all stand!

Congratulations! It will just keep getting better and better, the transfomation is amazing to watch. Hope your hubby sees much improvement too, migraines are excruciating. I've had them since I was a child, but I've been migraine free since going on the diet. Good luck!

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
