My stepdad has Celiac's, so I know a little about it!. You don't eat any wheat, flour, bread, cereal!.!.!. nothing with gluten in it!. I think you would lose weight, but he mostly eats meat, chips, and ice cream so he doesn't lose much :-)!. Your growth may be stunted, but at 13 you don't know if you're going to grow more anyway!. Have you tried not eating gluten for a few days to see if you feel better!? Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
My sister was just diagnosed this summer, so I know a lot about it!. Celiac disease, like you said, is when you can't have any gluten!. This can be found in (but not all) breads, pizza, pasta, cereal and in a lot of other things that you wouldn't have thought!. The gluten-free diet can be healthy, because you aren't allowed to eat some of the foods that are unhealthy, but it doesn't mean that everything that you eat that is gluten-free is healthy!. If you're eating gluten-free donuts and pizza everyday, then that isn't healthy!. Also, sometimes celiac will slow down your growth, but not always!. My sister is 5'3 and 13, and even though she has stopped eating gluten, she hasn't grown!. So there is a chance that you might grow, but don't count on it!.
And when you're feeling down, don't forget that there are others going through the same thing as you!. there are support groups that can help you out, because as my sister has found out, living a gluten-free life can be hard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
