Today, Wednesday, we had our follow-up appointment with Will's Celiac Doc. It has been six months since his biopsy confirming his diagnosis. We've noticed that he has outgrown most of his pants, by length, so we were hopeful that he was on the up & up. Or up and out in terms of height and weight.

We got great news! In the last six months Will has gained almost 2 lbs (1.7 to be exact) and grown almost 2 inches!!! He moved from the 5th percentile to the 10th percentile in weight, and 5th percentile in height to 25th!

This means all the changes in our eating habits have paid off. Those peanut butter rice cakes, brown rice quesadillas, GF pancakes, quinoa lasagna, and all the other good food we've been eating has made a difference.

Doctor Berry expects that Will will always be thin given his stature, but he thinks he'll put on some more good weight over the next couple of years.

Will was grateful for the good news - which for him was that he did not have to have a shot!

I'm so glad to hear that Will is doing so much better! And I was glad to hear that he liked the ricecake idea too :-).
