Boy With Possible Celiac Desease - Growth

Dear friends, my boy ended a period of 3 months with gluten free diet, and during the first two months, we were happy, because he gained 1,5cm in height... but this last month, he stopped, and lost 400g...

i now it is so early to be sad, but he improved a little to eat, but we need almost always to give food to him, because he is difficult to eat.

and - exactly this last month, he went back to school, we think that the problem is with the snack time at 3pm, he is not eating it... beause nor me nor his father are there to say to him that he must eat...

i dont know what to do, in fact, im very worried, because my fear is that he is not celiac and we are loosing something more than this...

i always give confidence here in this forum, but now i need your help...

i dont know what to do for him to eat more food... he needs calories to gain weight... the nutricionist sad to us...

any idea? vitamins? prays? any kind of magic, witchcrafts?

anything else?

First, I am so sorry to hear your little guy is having problems.

Did you have any tests that diagnosed Celiac? If you can explain any of his symptoms that are causing him not to eat? Any areas of pain? Give a full description of anything that makes him feel off.

Hang in there! The peeps here are more than willing to help. Keep a food journal to see if there is any type of pattern that can be a symptom.

Please make sure that you keep a food journal - write down everything that he eats and make certain that everything is gluten free.

Take him off of all dairy products for four weeks. Make sure what he eats at school is not causing him problems.

You have made progress, but something is holding him back.

Has your doctor said that your son has Celiac?

      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.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
