(for more detailed history check Open Original Shared Link )

Wow, to day is a real YAHOO kind of day. Its hard to think where we were 16monhts or so ago...

At that time our son was literly dieing. Which each passing day, he was regressing physically and mentaly... his scores at the time (he was about 20 months old) were that of a ten month old. I wont depress you with all the detials, some of you lived simular or worse stories (TCA comes to mind!)...

But August 13th will be his 3rd birthday, a day at one time this world offered no good reason why we should believe would come! And man its comming with a massive bang! First we learn he is off the disabled list (see the old thread linked above), and now we get these test scores back:

Tims SCores

WOW!! Check out those numbers!!! Nothing short of a miraculous turn around!!

To go from holding my only son in my arms at 2am who is screaming in pain with no medical treatment having ANY effect to planing a birthday party for a healthy and over active toddler is unbelievalbe!

THose of you that read The Holy Bible are probably falimure with John 3:16... "For He so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son..." , let me tell you somthing... that scripture has a new and powerful meaning to me. I do not think you can truly understand it till you been there.... Indeed it was only our faith that got us through it to the eventual discovery of celiac disease, the gluten-free diet and this forum. Without which we would not have a 3rd birthday.

Some of you reading this might just be starting out on the gluten-free journy, hopefully our sucess will encourage you! It can be done... sure we had our mistakes along the way, but we got here!

I just had to share!

Vincent,

So glad your son is doing SO awesome! Yes, my two year old was diagnosed around the time I believe your son was and so I know how wonderful the many things they can do are twice as rewarding as they were even for my other two children. It is SO nice to not have them in pain and see them eating, growing and thriving!

Have a wonderful 3rd birthday Tymber!

Looking at him today you cant tell what we went through... it amazing how well young ones bounce back. He is HUGE, dwarfs most kids his age now, not fat at all though (see his pics on Open Original Shared Link ) just huge :) Built like my father realy.

I am so happy for all of you. But, especially happy for Timothy. Because of you being his parents never giving up, Timothy will now have a quality of life that every child should have. Take plenty of pics of his 3rd Birthday party. My favorite is still the one you are using now for your Avitar.

Hooray for little Tymber! God is so good! And way to go mom and dad to be diligent parents to help him get to this point!

Enjoy having a 3 year old red head. My red-headed son was so much fun at that age! Everyone started asking him at about that age, "where did you get that red hair?" and he would always say, "It's not red, it's orange!".

WHat I am about to say is gonna sound like a joke, but its a true story...

For a long while if you said "Where di he get that red hair from?" he would turn and look! I think he had heard it so much he thought it was his name....

Its AWLAYS the first question any one asks that meets him for the first time. Its a scream :D (Ive had nice asnwers like "the mail man" or "Walmart, asle 3" ...)

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s not uncommon for people with celiac disease, especially those undiagnosed for a long time, to experience lasting digestive issues even after going gluten-free. The damage caused by years of inflammation in the small intestine can sometimes lead to other conditions like delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis), acid reflux, or food intolerances. Staying upright after eating can help with digestion, particularly if reflux is an issue, as lying down can exacerbate symptoms. Greasy or fatty foods can be harder to digest, especially if your digestive system is still healing or if you’ve developed sensitivities. It’s important to discuss these ongoing symptoms with a gastroenterologist, as there might be additional treatments or dietary adjustments that could help. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like your stomach needs extra care, and hearing others’ experiences can be validating. One thing you should do is look at your diet again, and be sure that it is 100% gluten-free. Choline is a supplement that may help you with your symptoms, so consider this as well. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RobHicks! Actually, celiac disease damages the upper part of the small bowel rather than the stomach. It's the part of the intestine right below the stomach. Since being diagnosed, have you had a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy to check to see if there is good healing in the small bowel lining since beginning the gluten free journey? You may have something else going on besides celiac disease. From what you describe, it sounds like your stomach is not emptying properly. Have you presented this problem to a GI doc?

      Still waiting.  The Barrett's I've had for 5-6 years. The possible/probable Celiac is new this year.  Not sure why that's popped up, but there it is.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By RobHicks · Posted

      Wanted to see if this was true for anyone else. My celiacs was undiagnosed for years and I think my stomachs overall function has been permanently damaged. I have to stay upright after eating, cannot lie down sit down for too long or swim or I will end up with a stomach full of half digested food and acid that i throw up later. I also can not eat anything greasy or fatty without severe reflux and will probably throw it up later too. Is this anyone else’s experience too?  Even after being gluten free for years your stomach is weak and needs gravity to properly digest?
