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!

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber.

      Someone said this could be due to my hemorrhoids. On March 17, 2024 my ferritin level was 23.

A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.
