We were seeing great results with our baby gaining some fat (was extremely underweight) - she started filling out and everything after a few weeks. However, she got ahold of a few bites of wheat bread. During the first week afterwards she lost all the fat she gained and got the big belly again. Its now been 2 weeks since the incident and I"m wondering when I can start looking forward to her gaining the fat again. Every day drives me nuts when I look at her little ribs poking out. Makes me worry myself to death. Anybody have experience with "mistakes" and how long before things start "righting" themselves again???

When my son had mistakes, it took a couple days for things to get right again. He would have the poops and be unhappy. Is you child growing. That may be why she looks skinny. I found that i was cross contam my son and not even knowing it. We went on vacation and my mother uses cast iron skillets. I kept wondering where he was getting wheat from - he had the runny smelly poops and diaper rash again. Then it dawned on me - 3 weeks later - that my mother does not was her cast iron, only rinses and drys. I hate feeling so ignorant on the subject. I have to go to several different souces to get some answers and then I dont know what to believe. Good luck.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Started having ataxia symptoms (tremor, twitching, leg weakness, slurred speech) approx 1 year ago. I have had extensive neurological testing and negative. However, I had celiac blood and gene testing that were both markedly positive. Have been gluten free for almost 1 year but still having episodes or flairs. Has anyone else experienced this?  I have been pretty strict about my diet and am also dairy free.  How long before it took you to feel like symptoms mostly resolved?    I would like to add I’ve also been pregnant for most of this time, so I’m seeing a lot of my symptoms return postpartum. Now that I’m also having regular bowel movements in comparison to the constipation from pregnancy, I am noticing evidence of malabsorption in my stool. I also lost weight postpartum quickly. I have an upcoming appointment with a G.I. to hopefully get an endoscopy done. I’m on several supplements and have no known deficiencies on bloodwork. Has anyone found that increasing fiber or starting a digestive enzyme supplement helped?    I am hoping there is still some chance for my body to heal since it has been 11 months on the diet.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
