Husband On Diet Trial

[TCA]

I think I know the answers to my questions, but just wanted all of you to weigh in on it.

My husband had severe vomiting as a baby. Was a classic failure to thrive kid. I think he weighed a little over 115 lbs at 15 and was about 5'-6". He's now about 160 and 5'-8". He developed type 1 diabetes in college. he also has what he calls a sensitive stomach and foggy headedness.

When we found celiac in our kids, we immediately suspected that he is where it came from becuase of all of these things. he had bloodwork, which was negative, but I've since learned that not all labs are equal and this was a small hospital lab. I now wish he'd gone ahead and gotten the biopsy, but didn't know then, what I know now.

His cousin convinced him that he still might have it, so he's been doing a diet trial since the end of Feb. He has a work lunch on Fri. and is thinking of doing a gluten test to see how he feels. He says he doesn't think he feels any different without gluten. I've learned so much the past few months and now wonder if he could just not be feeling the difference yet.

I now know that I do have issues with gluten from being gluten-free for our daughter who's breastfed, but wonder if it couldn't come from both of us.

Do you think he's been gluten-free long enough to tell a difference with a trial? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Unless he's totally unaware of his own body, I do think three months is enough to be able to notice a difference. To feel completely better? Not necessarily at all, but to notice *some* difference. The question is - is he really totally gluten-free?
