My son is strongly casein-intolerant (and likely celiac, though undiagnosed) and I was undiagnosed celiac when pregnant. He was always fussy as a baby and never felt "well" as a child, but we didn't isolate his reaction to cow's milk protein until he was 15.

I'm glad you're interested in that type of research - very helpful. I'm trying to get my son (who wants to be an MD) to go into celiac or genetic research.

This is very interesting. I have severe KP on my arms and legs. I don't ever wear shorts or shorter skirts. I'd like to, but my skin is so embarrassing. I've been gluten free since New Years, and maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my KP hasn't cleared up a bit. I use Cetaphil and and brillopad-like exfoliate and it's helped a little on my arms. not so much on my legs. I've had it since I can remember and it was only the front of my thighs. I'm eighteen now and it's spread to the backs of my thighs and down my calves. It's on the backs of my upper and lower arms and on my elbows. It's starting to slowly spread up my back.

What do I do!?!? Am I doing something wrong with my gluten-free??

Give it more time. I used to have this all over but noticed last summer after a year gluten-free that it was gone. I hope it clears up for you...maybe next summer you'll be wearing shorts and short skirts!
