  1. I think that I am also still in some type of denial, I keep thinking "what if they were wrong", but the biopsy was pretty classic. I think I'm still partyly in shock as well. I have explained to him that he will throw up when he eats some things, he can kind of understand this since he did so much of it for several months. he then started to use it as...
  2. I'm confused Re: the villi growing back thing. My son was diagnosed about 5 weeks ago, he has been gluten free for about that long. His Dr. told us that the villi grown back in about 5 days. Actually, he told me that everyones lining renews itself every 5 days. So, how does it take so long to heal? My son has gained 4 pounds in the one month he has been...
  3. I've been searching for replacement snacks as well and Glutino has some crackers that look like saltines. I also found some round, ritz type crackers made by biaglut. Mi-Del has arrowrrot animal cracker that are ok. Van's makes some gluten free waffles that come in mini-waffles, just like the eggo's that kids can handle easily.
  4. My son is 2, just diagnosed by biopsy last month. He eats non-stop. he wakes me up at 5 am every morning with a go-gurt that he has grabbed from the fridge. he eats it, has some water and goes back to sleep. When he is awake, he is constantly hungry. he's only been gluten free for about 3 weeks, he's gained almost 4 pounds. Before he was Dx, his poop...
  5. Thats great news for you. An official diagnosis is not a great experience for a young child. My son went through a CAT scan, upper GI, x-rays, bloodwork then an edoscopy/biopsy before his diagnosis. It broke my heart each time we had to subject him to another test, but we were floundering. He is now @ 4 weeks gluten free and is doing amazing. Don't mess...
  6. my son, who is 2 1/2, has been on the diet for about 3/4 weeks. His poops have gone from hard to soft a few times. Right now he has diareha, so I'm trying to look back on the last few days to see what it was. I think that this being a new experience for us, it is taking some time to eliminate every thing containing gluten, and learning about cross contamination...
  7. We've only been gluten free for about three weeks, already its made a remarkable improvement on my 2 year old. He's already started to put weight back on, thank god for that Gluten free pantry sandwich bread. Then i started wondering, after reading some posts, what about his shampoo, baby wash, etc. We use Johnsons baby wash now, the pink lotion stuff...
  8. I just started crying when I saw that picture, it looks just like my 2 year old son. It only been two weeks since his diagnosis, and I think the belly is going down and his face has filled out a little. It makes my chest ache to see him with his clothes off, I am hoping it gets better soon. I just stunned at that picture, I am still kind of in shock from...
  9. Hi. Although my saga certainly has not been as long as yours, i understand some of it. My son, who is 2 1/2, was just diagnosed two weeks ago after about 5 months of vomiting, severe weight loss, anemia(he was pale, lethargic, miserable), and the worst stool i have ever smelled. It was just as you decribed, it varied in color, was mostly watery, sometimes...
  10. Hi there My 2 year old son was also just diagnosed last week by biopsy. It took us about 4 months of vomiting and weightloss to get to the real issue. I am kind of still in shock, just trying to wade through all the information and learning how to bake bread. I am overwhelmed, but every day seems to get a little better. he looks better, feels better and...
