Hi, My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac 3 years ago, when she was 16. We eliminated gluten from her diet. While some symptoms resolved; she battles with constant nausea and bloating. Our whole family went gluten-free, then moved on to follow the Paleo diet (grain free) to rule out issues with possible cross-contamination. I purchased new cookware;...

It took her awhile to gain weight, so it was just about 2 years.

Hi, My daughter was 17 when she was diagnosed with Celiac. She had lost close to 20 pounds when this all started and her periods stopped. Even after going gluten free, it took her a while to get her weight back up to a normal BMI. But once she was there, her periods have restarted. If all the other labs are ok (vitamin panels, no anemia, etc...

Hi Eva, My daughter does eat rice now, but that is the only grain. As for diet restrictions--we try to have fun. My dad had kidney disease and is on the 'kidney' diet (low potassium). I have tree nut allergies and poppy seed allergy. We had fun coming up with a Thanksgiving dinner menu that accommodated everyone! Before all of this...

Hi Ava, My daughter is in a similar situation. Diagnosed with Celiac 2 1/2 years ago. All labs normal now except for TTg hovering around 44. 2nd endoscopy showed fully healed villi, which proves she is compliant with the gluten-free diet. She still has lingering nausea and bloating, and the TTG. We prepare all our own food; she is not comfortable...

Thank you for taking the time to respond! The AIP diet did reveal an issue with eggs, so she is now egg free. This is a diet that strips out most things for the first few weeks and then you gradually re-introduce foods. No other issues have showed themselves. And the year before the celiac diagnosis she developed a stone fruit allergy--itchiness around...

Thank you all for your responses. Cross contamination was our initial thought, so the whole house went gluten free. I purchased new toaster, new cookware and cooking utensils, new baking sheets/racks, new food storage containers, and scrubbed dishes and utensils with steel wool early on. The entire house is gluten free and has been for over a year. When...

She has also removed dairy from her diet.

Hi everyone, First some history: my daughter had some mild chronic constipation since she started solid food (she is now almost 19). The pediatrician always suggested more fluids, more exercise. I did that and added wheat germ to her oatmeal. Still no resolution, but the constipation was never enough that we needed a separate visit to the doctor for...
