Is it possible that a child diagnosed at 5-years-old whom is now 11 and has shown improvement by sticking to a gluten-free diet could eventually outgrow the disease? Thank you and God Bless.

Hi,

No, the immune system learns to fight against gluten in the body causing celiac disease.  It can't be taught to unlearn that currently.  Although some people have attempted to get the immune system to tolerate gluten again, there is no proven method of doing so.

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By Pat Denman · Posted

      Many years ago, there was a doctor who recommended never eating the same food within 5 days. Also recommended greens only 2X per week. Can't remember his name. Dx Celiac at age 87 by self as where I live in the northwest of Idaho, there is no medical insurance which covers Celiac disease or even will pay for tests!

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      I am so scared of going to my doctor because she didn’t give me any information on my condition just saying remove gluten. I have a number of things that relate to coeliac disease but the doctor never picked up on it years ago when I was questioning my health.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 8 months ago. I have been on a gluten free diet since then but I am still struggling with symptoms.  My bones hurt all over my body, my hips and elbows especially. My arms are tingling a lot and feeling numb.

      Welcome to the forum, @StaciField! That is a question for a dental professional. But let's get some background info from you in relation to things we are more qualified to give input about. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? If so, are you consistent in gluten free eating?  If you haven't been checked for celiac disease, you certainly should be as mineral depletion of the bones is a common symptom of the condition. Celiac disease results in vitamin and mineral malabsorption.
