Another Celiac Question =)?!

Question: Another Celiac Question =)!?

I have had Celiac Disease since I was 1 year old!. I was recently reading an article about it and it said that people with Celiac sometimes can have poor growth, but if you go on the gluten-free diet, you could catch up on your growth!. So maybe that's why I'm so short!? (I'm 5 foot 4 inches and I'm 15) My parents are fairly tall (my mom's 5 foot 8 inches, and my dad is 6 foot 3 inches) So hopefully if I start this gluten-free diet, do you think i will go through a growth spurt!?

Thanks a bunch everyone!!

Answers:

No, I don't think this is true!. Celiac doesn't generally make you short!.!. Maybe you are supposed to be that height!. Or you could still have a growth spurt!. I didn't finish growing until I was about 17!.

you should already be on a gluten free diet, though!. You will continually be malnourished if you aren't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
