Sorry I wasn't very clear. Younger son is gluten-free. He is 3yo, undiagnosed and in limbo land and has tons of food allergies as well. At one point, he tested very low pos for wheat allergy. Now all tests are neg, but we can't get past two days of trialing gluten. The rest of the family eats gluten. I refuse to go into limbo land with everyone else...

Can anyone tell me if the sed rate is always high if you have Celiac? My middle ds (8yo) is very thin. He always has been. Lately, he looks thinner than before. He has maintained a 25% for height, but has dropped down to 3-5% for weight. He eats like mad and I am sure he could out eat me!! In addition to meals we have, he will go in my cabinets...

Thanks so much for this reply. This answers some questions. If the rash returns, I will definitely be speaking to the dr about it and asking for a biopsy. I know I should have asked way back then. I am sure if ds gets sick from the wheat that the dr will listen to me when he sees how he gets.

I do know that Celiac and Allergy are different. The problem we are having is that all allergy tests are coming back neg. The pos test was only sligthly pos and I suspect it was a false pos. His reactions have never been immediate and are all GI (mostly lower GI). I am not sure what IS going on. I have read about gluten intolerance that is NOT Celiac...

I am a mommy to 6dc. I have Hashimoto's and my middle dd does as well. I am posting for some direction. Our 3yo ds has multiple food allergies. When he was about 13mo, he was tested and wheat was positive, but much lower compared to all of the other foods that he was positive to. We kept wheat in his diet for awhile, but eventually took it out due...

My 10yo dd has been having problems with her belly for at least 5 months now. She is very thin and the shortest kid her age. She was dx 3 months ago with hypothyroidism. I have Hashimoto's and I suspect the same with her. She eats gluten and wheat. We also have a 2yo who has food allergies (including wheat). He does not eat wheat, but we are not...

I did know that Spelt any Rye were wheat realtives and are not gluten free. He will not eat those. The cookies I mentioned have barley flour so they are wheat free, but not gluten free. I did realize that. He eats them sometimes, but hardly any other processed foods so I know that is about all the gluten he would get plus in my baking with vanilla. ...

Hi I am a mommy to 6 great dc. My youngest has been dx with a myriad of food allergies and we are still trying to figure him out. He is also wheat free although he appears to tolerate a little gluten. He could not tolerate Spelt at all and will not eat Rye. Recently, I have been wondering about a few of my other dc, though. Both of my other ds's...
