How Long

my 2 and 1/2 year old son hasn't grown in a whole year! He is tiny and thin (makes up for it in character though ;) ) We have done the celiac panel and it has come back clear. We put him on a gluten free diet for the past 3 weeks, and i want to know in how long will i see a change? These past weeks, i know that he has not had a drop of gluten coz he didn't go to day care. He started again today so... Seeing as he isnt a celiac and will probably not have a reaction if he does have gluten, i cant know if i can trust it there...

Also, do any of you people out there have any idea if him having constant burst ear drums could stunt his height and weight gain? He had tubes put in this week, but i want to put my hopes somewhere ;););)

If gluten is the issue, it could take months to show growth changes. Do you mean he has had no growth at all, even a small amount, in a whole year? If that is the case, I would be quite concerned. How are his cognitive milestones? If they are lagging as well as his growth, I would push for lots of testing to figure out what is going on. It is normal for some kids to grow slower but to not grow at all is problematic.

I don't want to be overly dramatic but this isn't something to guess about. In addition to physical growth we see, early childhood is a critical time for the brain.

Take care and check back if you get a chance.

My son was completely negative on all celiac panel tests also. However, he had the classic gi symptoms. He was positive for DNA and positive biopsy. My son only gre 1 1/2" between one and two. Once he went gluten free, he started to grow and teeth again with a month or shortly after. I began to measure my son every month so I could keep track of his growth.

Ear issues in my family are an intolerance to dairy. My sister and daughter had many many ear infections as a result of this intolerance.

I just removed dairy from my diet 5 months ago and I can hear out of my right ear which I couldn't before and never really noticed except when I used the phone.

Removing wheat lead an immediate behaviour improvement in our boy along with a bowel and appetite change.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
