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!

      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.

      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!
