Does Anyone Have This Problem?

So since I lost so much weight so fast, I have an insane number of stretch marks. And they are EVERYWHERE!!!! My head, my neck, my shoulders, my stomach, my legs, (places I won't name as well) hell I probably could find some on my feet. And I do not like them, Sam I am. (Oh wait, that's Green Eggs and Ham... Oh well.) And I know I will just keep finding more.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get rid of them? Or am I gonna have to deal with this uglyness forever? I'd rather not have to, especially since the weight I gained was not my fault, but rather the fault of a miscarry and then a series of misdiagnoses.

I have a bunch of stretch marks from going from 0 to puberty in one summer. Hips and boobs. Over time (think a year or two or three), they will fade such that you can barely see them - and other people will be able to see them even less than you can. They won't ever disappear completely, and there is nothing that has any evidence behind it for helping to clear them away as long as you are eating healthy and staying well hydrated.

As far as I know, the only recent study-proven help for any kind of scar is Essential Oil of Rose--it's expensive, though, and some people are sensitive to it. However, if you are interested in improving your skin's health and elasticity (and, hopefully, help those scars fade), there is a program by Carole Maggio called Knuckle Massage, where you use your knuckles and oil on your body to reduce cellulite. I know people (including myself) who have been helped by this routine, and one of the benefits is that the skin becomes tighter and healthier looking after you do it for a while. I'm not trying to push this system, but since you seem genuinely interested in finding something that might help you, I can highly recommend it.

I know this is an older thread but BIO oil is great 3 times a day give a little massage to every part of your body with the stretch marks and they will fade to almost nothing within about 6 months.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
