Am grinning from ear to ear... come share my happy mommy moment!

[PinkTulips]

dd has put on 1.5kgs in 2 months since being taken off wheat at the end of last year!

She was 10.5kgs when the doc weighed her when referring her to paediatrics.... the same weight she was at one year. She had her 2 year check today and is 12 kgs... 50th centile for her age and perfectly normal!

I am so relieved as not only does it mean we did the right thing cutting out wheat, it means she probably isn't coeliac either

Public Health Nurse was lovely and referred her to a dietitian and will chase up her paeds referral for me too.

Not only that she's organising a meet-up of moms with babies the same age as my ds in my area so i might have some rl mom friends too.

I've never come out of a health check feeling so happy before!

thats great news, nice to know you did the right thing

Well done hun
See mum always knows best

Seriously a big well done to you. We know how hard you've worked at that.

Thats great news

It must have been such a worry for you.

Quick question, If she's done better without the wheat how does that mean she's not coeliac?? I thought that was what coeliac was.

thanks Feathers..... this has made such a differance, especially after that crap with my mom last month.

thanks too tinkerbel

Thats really wonderful Pink.

coeliac is gluten intolerance.

wheat contains gluten... more than most other foods but many other grains such as oats, barley, rye, etc all contain lesser amounts of gluten too. as her diet still contains all these it's safe to presume that it's less likely gluten is the cause... hopefully anyway!

Oh ok, thanks.

lol... i'm shaking with the relief of it. WHen the doctor weighed her in DEc and i realised she weighed the same as she had at one year my world crumbled a little... i was so worried about her.

The nusre said she does look a little anamic but the dietician should be able to help with that i hope

I'm really pleased. Having children just turn us into bags of nerves and worry doesn't it?

god yes! i was always a little neurotic but it reached new and unanticipated peaks since having dd!

i'll be pleased about this for a few more hours and then start freaking out about the anaemia!

thats great news PT.

yahey! excellent news

pink im so happy for yr dd

espically re the coeliacs i really am well done

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That's wonderful I am really happy for you!!

HURRAH!

That's great news PinkTulips.

Isn't it amazing how much wheat we all eat when you're forced to examine it in this way.

Mercifully it's a growth industry and there are lots of great wheat free alternatives out there now.

That's great news PT

Thanks all, am still grinnning like a loon.

Spidermama.... i couldn't believe it when we first started her on this diet! Pretty much every single food she ate was loaded with wheat.... fgs, even oatabix have wheat in them

It's been good for all of us though, you wouldn't believe how much healthier we're eating now that i'm forced to get off my bum and cook from scratch! And the change in her mood was enough to convince me even without todays news about the weight gain

great news

great news , pink ,can feel the relief come of the page. Hugs to u XXX

It's a good feeling when you get your DCs over a hill like that isn't it? Bask in it's loveliness.... Mmmmmmmmmm!
