Ok I don't know where to start....but the run down goes like this my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac in July of this year after being real sick for over a year with it coming to a head in May of this year when her weight just started droping and she went from being a 7th grader who weighed 82lbs to one that weighs 62lbs and went from a size 12 to a size...

Ok quick question. My daughter has not been getting better since on her diet for now 7 weeks and it is more like she is getting worse.

Still she seems worse and has been missing school in the 7th grade...

Thank you all for your replies. I can answer a few of the questions tha were asked. I know someone said something about medicines she is taking. She takes none at this tme so that one is an easy one.

Oh my goodness thank you all so much for the wonderful support! You are all so kind to take the time to respond to me and the advise you have given is wonderful. I am so surprised at how many things I was not thinking of because when we spoke to the dietician (sp?) there are many things that you all arementioning that she never mentioned.

Hello to the both of you who have replied so far and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I am and was feeling very desperate today and have had a couple moments of tears.
