Growth Spurt?

My 10 year old son was diagnosed with celiac 2 weeks ago. I was wondering from other parents out there what they noticed with regards to growth spurts - was it sudden and did most parents really see a change in weight / height?

My 4 yr. old was diagnosed 3 mo. ago. He has gained about 3 lb. so far!

imo going gluten-free immediately starts to put your system back in natural working order. I say this because my 7 yr old was on the opposite end of the charts with celiac disease. She has been in the 95th -98th percentile for wt and ht for over 2 years now and she has been gluten-free about 2 months and has finally leveled out with no weight gain. We were under the "healthy lifestyle plan" with our pedi before diagnosis. According to our GI it depends on the damage done to the Villi, for how long till you see improvement.

My son gained 3lbs and almost 3in in height in less than 3 months. He has kind of leveled off since then though but he is at least back on the charts for both height and weight.

My daughter was diagnosed at 9. She wasn't underweight, but she was undertall. It took about a year for us to see a clear difference in growth. However, between age 11 and 12 we saw her go from 4'8" to 5'1"!!

Her other symptoms though, such as dark circles under her eyes, skin issues, and sleep issues cleared up within a month!

      Thank you.  I’ll be sure to look into those.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
