We are suspecting that my 9 year old has celiac or a very severe gluten intolerance. He has always had headaches, muscle cramps, very sensitive stomach and very irratable (no wonder). He had a 4 day spell where he could keep nothing down. After going to the doctor and having some normal tests done I decided to pull him off of gluten. He was wonderful for 10 days. He kept everything down and said he felt better than he has ever felt. When I talked to the doctor about getting testing done she said put him back on gluten and come back in a month. Within hours of ingesting the gluten, he was sick again. After several days of not keeping anything down I talked to the pediatric GI. They said get the blood work done right away. He has been back off of gluten since and still hasen't keep anything down. We are now at 1 week of throwing almost everything up.

Does anyone have any hints for me? Help!

How scary for you! What is he eating? Have you tried plain white rice and applesauce?

Just to let you know right now I hate typing so if I get sloppy....My daughter who is 8 was just diagnosed with celiac disease february 10th. Before that she had throwing up bouts that could last for days. She would just throw up bile for hours and hours. went to the hospital a couple of times for dehydration too. Dont know if this would help your son or if its even the same circumstances really but i gave my daughter a drug that they use for chemo patients. Its for nausea and vomiting and it would stop it instantly for her. If you havent tried that it might be worth a try. Its called Ondansetron and i do believe its generic. I always got the kind that just gets held under the tongue and disolves that way you dont have to worry about trying to take in water if its a pill( my daughter would definately not have been able to do that) Well I hope that this will be of some help for you,if not now, maybe in the future because im praying that your son is already on the mend.:)

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free. Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by...

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I have a One Pot and decided to start using it one day. I was hesitant at first making my own yogurt, but was surprised at how easy it was. I like mine better too.

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,

Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
