    My son will start first grade in a couple of weeks and will be going all day for the first time. He's gotten to be a very picky eater and there are only a few things I can think of to send to school with him for lunch. He doesn't like gluten-free bread so sandwiches are out. At this point all I can think to send is lunch meat, potato chips and water (since...

    My six year old has reflux and it's getting to be a problem. We were at the pediatrician yesterday and she recommended Prilosec OTC. I was frustrated when I got to the pharmacy and started reading the ingredients. It lists "starch" with no specification as to where it comes from, which to me means wheat starch. He's been on Zantac but that doesn't seem...

    My son is both gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant. He's been on a gluten/dairy free diet for almost a year. We decided to start reintroducing dairy products with the assistance of Lactaid tablets. I'd say we've had mixed results so far. Sometimes he seems fine and other times he seems uncomfortable. What has your experience been using Lactaid...

    Ursa Major, None of the links your provided came from medical journals or cited controlled studies. It's true that some people on chemotherapy develop fungal infections because of their weakened immune systems, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a fungal infection even if they don't have cancer.

    My five year old son has lost weight since going gluten free 3 months ago. He was at an all time high of 40.5 pounds last November when the diarrhea started, was holding steady at 38 pounds for several months, and all of a sudden this month is down to 36.5 pounds. He had a biopsy and tested negative for celiac, but the gluten free diet is the only thing...

    My son has Down syndrome. He also has leukemia so the six months of diarrhea he had we assumed was due to the chemo. He had negative blood tests for cleiac and a negative biopsy, but the only that stopped the diarrhea was a gluten free diet. There's a great website with health care guidelines for people with DS, but it only recommends a celiac blood...

    My son has been gluten free for about 2 months. Yesterday I accidently gave him his brother's noodles instead of his gluten free pasta. He ate a whole plate of spaghetti noodles before I realized my mistake. Today the liquid diarrhea started and tonight we've already had to wake him up once to change his sheets and give him a bath. How long before the...

    My son tested negative for Celiac several months ago (both blood test and biopsy) but had progressively worse diarrhea until about a month ago when we took gluten and dairy out of his diet. For the most part he's been OK since then with occasional blowouts. I think the blowouts were due to carelessness on our part. To complicate matters he has both Down...
