Karlee has only been gluten free for two months and is already feeling better than she has in her eight years.
Lindsay shared that her daughter’s symptoms started when she was only a year old. “Celiac never crossed our minds until she was 6,” she said. Through those five years, she suffered from daily stomachaches, headaches, behavior issues, bedwetting, ADHD, severe joint pain, and learning difficulties.
Her gastroenterologist tested her for celiac when she was six. While her blood work came back positive, her endoscopy returned with a negative result. Mom was told that Karlee didn’t have celiac.
Karlee continued to have many medical issues, however. She saw eight different doctors over the next two years. Finally, another gastroenterologist tested her again and diagnosed her with celiac, even without a biopsy.
And now, Karlee is a new child already. No more stomachaches. Very few headaches. She hasn’t wet the bed in a month. Behavior has “dramatically improved,” as has overall learning. And her ADHD symptoms are nearly gone.
According to mom, “Karlee is already happier and healthier than she was before her diagnosis. She sleeps better, eats better and overall feels better.” And she’s only been gluten free for two months!
