Hello - My Son Has Celiac

:lol:

Hello,

I have been watching this forum for a while now. I have also been visiting Celiac.com and many, many other Celiac related sites for several years, but never posted. Today I decided to. My Son was diagnosed with Celiac when he was 1 year old. He is now 14 and is doing great. It has been a challenge with school lunches and birthday parties etc, all these years. However, Taylor (my son), has adapted very well, and all of his friends understand his condition and don't think anything of it. The school works with us, and heats his lunch up for him everyday, to allow him to have a hot lunch. I worry however, that he will develop other conditions as a result of Celiac disease, like Cancer or Diabetes. I love my boy so much... Should he be looked at, internally, by the Doctor, annually to be sure nothing is going on, or every few years or so...?

Take Care and God Bless!

Hey, I'm 14, also! :D

If he's been on a gluten-free diet and continues to be on that diet, his risk of developing such conditions is no greater than the general population. And if he was diagnosed at one-year-old, then there's basically nothing that could have developed in that timeframe. The increased cancer risk is most dangerous for celiacs who have gone 20 or 30 yrs. without a diganosis, not 1, 3, or 5.

Thanks.... I should have my son Taylor register on this forum... You seem to be very well educated in Celiac Disease.. The Doctor looks at him and can't believe that he is a Celiac Patient.. He seems very healthy. He races motocross as well, which keeps him in shape...

If you ever want to send him an email it is:

nice to "meet" you. My daughter was diagnosed at 3, she is 5 now and the Dr.'s can't believe how healthy she is. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 34, so now at 36 I'm still having problems from going so long without a diagnosis. I'd be interested to know just how you've coped all these years with school, b-day parties and friends...

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
