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.

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...

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...
