Hi, and thanks for your kind reply, i would like to ask you one last thing about Celiac, is that i have heard that it is not curable, but when i was directed for the gluten free diet, i did it for 1 and half year, after that i started to take wheat again, and did not have any problem, but as i told you before i am not growing,, was that a mistake which i did, and if now i should go and consult a doc, should i go to an Orthopedics or Gastrologist specialist.

awaiting your kind reply

hello mohsin_107,
Please don't be worried about celiac disease.It's a genetic disease and you cannot alter this disease.But you need to take precautions.But this disease can result into Osteoporosis(weak bones), delayed puberty,etc.Just follow the gluten free diet protocol and keep yoursel happy.
If any querry, you are free to ask me.
take care,
