Wow...much better than their last segment. They must have gotten a lot of hate mail (I know many of us on this forum sent complaints). Still not perfect information, but much MUCH better. I just wish the symptom lists had been a bit more comprehensive. I didn't have a ton of GI symptoms initially (of course if I get glutened now I will). Sometimes I still wish I had gotten all my tests done before I started the diet, but who knows if they would have given me the answers I wanted anyway. I was so fed up with doctors by the time I figured it out, that I just wanted to start immediately.

I think it was a nice mea culpa without admitting how wrong they were. At least they did't advise starting gluten-free diet before testing. They also emphasized that Celiac is a serious disease and not a food fad. Although she did not list all symptoms of Celiac, she did give enough to know that it is not only intestinal. Does anyone know all the symptoms, anyway? All in all, I feel better about their report today than I have in the past.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
