“Today’s Dylan Dreyer Opens Up About Son’s Celiac Disease Diagnosis”
Today meteorologist Dylan Dreyer opens up about her 6-year-old son Calvin’s celiac disease diagnosis after a year of enduring stomach pain.
A Long Journey of Pain and Unknowns
Calvin’s health issues began with stomach pain, earaches, rashes, and hair loss, persisting for a year. The severity of his stomach pain led his family to rush him to the hospital, fearing an appendix burst. This hospital visit prompted further investigation into his condition.
The Diagnosis and Understanding Celiac Disease
Calvin’s bloodwork revealed a diagnosis of celiac disease, a condition Dylan knew little about initially. She shares that her only knowledge of celiac disease was based on a friend of a friend who couldn’t eat bread.
A Closer Look: Endoscopy and Recovery
To assess the damage caused by celiac disease, Calvin underwent an endoscopy where a camera was inserted into his intestines. Celiac disease occurs when the immune system attacks gluten in the small intestine, causing irregular functioning.
Now, Calvin is recovering well after receiving answers to his health issues. He is finally relieved from constant pain and can once again feel like himself.
Embracing a Gluten-Free Diet
Calvin’s diagnosis necessitated a switch to a gluten-free diet. Dylan has been supportive, ensuring he can still enjoy a variety of delicious food. The family has made adjustments, even purchasing new kitchen products to accommodate the dietary change.
Moving Forward with Positivity
Despite the challenges, Dylan remains optimistic. She shares on Instagram that they are figuring it all out and that Calvin feels better, enjoying his meals. For him, it’s like nothing has changed, except that he feels better than ever.
