Doctor Saw The Light

Monday my two year old had her follow up appointment for her endoscopy. I was already told that even though her gentic testing showed her in catagory 8 (DQ2-DQ2 - I thought she was DQ2 DQ8 till i saw paper work.) she had a normal endoscopy which means she does not have celiac disease, she is gluten intolerant. My daughter is FTT and has not gain any weight since this past August. So you can imagin my surprise when they weighed her and she gained 1 lb & 2 oz since the 29th of March. (Her endo was April 11 and she has been gluten-free ever since.)

I could not contain myself! I started crying and was so happy that my baby grew. Then they told me she had grown a 1/2 inch since the 29th also! I was a sobbing mess.

During the appointment, the doctor strongly recommended that I retest my daughter in August. They wanted her back on regular diet for June July and in Aug. till testing was done again. I knew my husband would not be happy with this but I agreed thinking since the "gold standred" is the endo, than that was what we had to do.

Last night the Doctor call and said the the practice discussed it and they do NOT want my child on a regular diet,ever!The doctor said it would be devestating to her health to but her back on regular food. Then when I questioned her diganosis as Gluten Intolerence, she actually said to me,"Gluten intolerence is celiac disease."

Im so happy that this was the outcome of her journey. Its been a long battle but I finally feel like Im winning the fight!!!!

I am so glad for you! Finally a doctor's office is thinking about the patient, not about the "gold standard".

Hooray for you and your daughter. Sometimes it does pay to go to a group practice where they do discuss patients and greater sense prevails :D Of course she should not eat gluten for three months, especially when she has just started growing again. Be a strong advocate for your daughter and don't let ignorant doctors boss you around :ph34r:

Here's to a healthy, growing, happy daughter and family :)

So glad to hear she is doing well and the doctors had some common sense. I hope she continues to thrive.

      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.
