The diagnosis!

I really have to share our success.

Boo started Gluten free almost 1 month ago. We got the final confirmation of Celiac on the 19th and I met with a dietitian that said that she can't help me because I'm on the ball YIPPEE!

The changes in my sweet baby girl have been phenomenal. Her depression lifted within days of starting the diet. She has started skipping around the house, singing, humming and being a normal, healthy six year old :) Nothing can please me more. I realized I've never seen her happy though and that broke my heart. Her anxiety attacks are pretty much gone she's had 2, but it's also Christmas lol. She's stopped talking to her self in her bedroom at night (she would talk self hate for hours, alone) and we haven't seen a single tantrum in two whole weeks! She would tantrum for hours at a time.

She's started hugging me and kissing me all the time now, she used to hate to be touched. Her hand tremors have disappeared and she's now making eye contact with everyone most of the time. The pain, neuropathy and ataxia seem to be last on the recovery list, but I'm thinking that once she has some more body fat and constipation relief that will go too. The dr said not to expect major change before 6 months but to embrace what does come and boy am I embracing!

Honestly, I was pessimistic when it came to thinking about her recovery but I am falling completely in love with my girl all over again. I'm so happy she's happy and feeling like a normal girl! My life is returning to normal again, well a new normal :)

I will start to update more once the holidays are over.. start keeping track of the food I make. Yippeee I am just so happy for us
