First Anniversary

Today my daughter has been gluten free for 1 whole year. I can't believe the difference!

She has gained almost 20 lbs and 3 inches and looks healthy.

I remember my first shopping trip to Walmart, I bought potato flour (even thought I had no clue what to do with it) and Lays potato chips as these were all I could find that I knew were safe for her. I ended up in tears in the isle wondering what I was going to feed this child.

Now I find the diet second nature, I've even managed to control my dislike of baking to make her cookies and muffins on a regular basis. Its amazing how so many dishes we used to eat can be safe for her just by swapping out regular flour with a gluten free blend.

For all you newbies, it does get better - quicker than you can imagine right now.

For all of those that have been there, done that, thank you so much for all of your great advice to get us to this point!

Congrats on the 1 year anniversary!!! So happy to hear your daughter is flourishing. :-)

I hit my 1 yr mark in April, and yes the first 6 months were tough but it does keep getting easier. And I too have become a regular baker after having an aversion to baking for as long as can remember.

Awesome! Congrats on one year! I agree, it does get better with time and does seem pretty normal now. Her weight gain and growth is amazing. I wish we would see that at our one year mark but it's not looking that way. GOOD JOB Mom and Daughter!

Congrats to you and your daughter (and family)! We've only just begun this "journey" and it's so encouraging to hear about the positive outcome you've had. I hope I'm feeling the same way next year.

All the best!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
