Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 Hi My daughter, who was born a healthy 7lbs 3ozs and 19.5 " long, dropped from the 50th %ile to the 5th between 4 and 6 months old. (About the time we were introducing the wheat and barley baby cereals). After crawling along at that for three years, we removed gluten from her diet last November. By February, she had grown about 3 inches. Her weight has doubled in two years! If it were up to me, I'd keep her 100% gluten free, but DH wants to challenge the diet. I'm going along with it because it seems to be only way to convince him that she may be celiac. At least now her BMs have started floating again - for the second time immediately following gluten ingestion - he's starting to consider it as an idea but I have NO idea how we'll ever confirm this.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 Thank you, this has certainly helped me. My son started growing for the first time in two years- has grown nearly 3 inches since the end of March. I suspected celiac, but never found anything that stated this as an indicator.
