14 Month Daughter

[Guest guest]

Hello

I am new to the group and our daughter has just had a biopsy done to

confirm if she has celiac . looking back it seems to add up ! She would

always out eat our older daughter { 15 months older }. Her bowels

movements were larger and more frequent and a different color { and we

all ate the same food }

She was breast feed till she was a year. Then she got sick and

we thought her lack of energy was due to a cold then She started to

lose weight and dropped to the bottom on the growth charts . We placed

her on the gluten free diet about a week ago . She has started to gain

some weight back, sleeps less and the diarrhea is more of a mush of

undigested food, and she is more active .

My question is how long does it take for the villas to repair as to

her having solid fat less stools ? This would show she is getting more

of nutrition out of her food correct ?

Her abdomen is still distended, how long does it take to flatten out

?

What are some thing we can do to help her catch up in growth ?

We live in northern city in canada and there is no celiac groups, or

even a gluten free store. We have ordered books and trying read all we

can .

Thanks
