<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My son didn't show improvement until about 6 weeks. He was also on steroids to help at the beginning. We had to keep him off all milk products too as well as soy. Now, after a year and a half of doing very well, he can handle cheese and small amounts of lactose free milk, and small amounts of items made with soy. I must admit that I was never so elated as seeing his first firm stool at the age of three. Hang in there. ><<<I realize that there are many variables here, but how long after going on >a GF diet would it take to see recovery of the villi?
