Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Yes, I agree. I haven't seen a growth improvement yet from my son, (only been on the diet about a month), but all the other symptoms are gone and if I ever decide to have him tested for celiac it'll be when he's old enough to understand the whole thing. I've heard that celiac's often go through a time as teenagers or young adult when the symptoms go away or lessen and they often drop the diet, and are damaged from doing so. I figure this would be the time to do the testing. Until then, I'm keeping him on a celiac diet and being very careful with it. If it's not celiac the diet won't hurt, if it is, then I'm doing the best that can be done.
