    buckeyenc5, I've been thinking about the way you're describing the situation, and I'm concerned that you aren't asking your daughter's caregivers enough questions. If they aren't giving you the information you need, you must make them continue the discussion until you are satisfied. You mention that you took her off pancreatic enzymes, but it isn't clear...

    Speaking as a scientist rather than as a mom, there's simply not enough information in this thread to form any opinion as to whether or not this child has celiac disease or gluten intolerance. The symptoms described (behavior, belly distension, skin issues, FTT, frequent stooling, low muscle tone) fit pretty darn well with celiac, but they also fit with...

    ((HUGS)) What was the basis for her FTT diagnosis? Aside from (I'm assuming) slow or no weight gain, what are her observable symptoms? How are her skin (what do you mean by "yucky"?), stools (what do they look like, how many per day?), sleep, and behavior? Does she have reflux, or often spit up/vomit? Chronic runny nose? Dark circles under her eyes...

    Does she play with playdough at school? That would expose her to gluten. Good luck figuring it out!

    Yay for her height and weight stats ~ those are fantastic! And oh how frustrating 3 year olds can be when they decide to exercise free will. Well, hopefully she'll learn a lesson out of it!

    You mean Samoas (Girl Scout cookie time!), right? Those definitely contain gluten.

    Has he or anyone else in the family recently had a virus? Post-viral arthritis is one of the most common non-injury causes of limping in children. My older daughter once had it for a few days. She had no symptoms of a virus, but her dad had been knocked out by a virus the week before. Our ped said her temporary arthritis was probably part of her immune...

    I think the Mi-Del cookies are the closest substitute, but as Linda said, they're not teething biscuits. In my opinion, teething biscuits are a choking hazard anyway, so it is no loss if you can't find a gluten-free substitute. After being gummed for a while, usually a big piece will break off in baby's mouth, and it can cause choking. The second time...

    I can relate. I'm gluten-, dairy-, egg-, and soy-free for my breastfeeding two year old, and I've dropped down to a weight I haven't seen in at least 18 years. A couple weeks ago I was feeling bus-dragged too, but I'm feeling a lot better now. I think it is partly that I'm eating a lot more and partly that I'm being diligent about taking my supplements...

    Glad you posted this ~ I was just coming to look for the topic of appetite increase. On a hunch, I put my 24 month old egg-, dairy-, and soy-intolerant daughter on a gluten-free diet a week ago. The change has been remarkable. Now she can't stop eating...or pooping. But at least it is much nicer poop than before going gluten-free. At this...
