Not sure if it will help but we tried gluten free diet with my son back in september of 08. We put him back on gluten 2 weeks ago to get the celiac panel ran again. Interesting thing is when he was gluten free he ate really well, now since he is back on gluten he has started doing what your son has been doing, chewing his food and spitting out, or just not...

Riceguy, Thanks for posting a reply. Any clue what sort of tests they can do to diagnose candida? As far as I know they have not tested yet for it. He has been allergy tested for all other allergy foods and airborne allergies, all negative. It would be so much easier if my son could communicate and tell us how he feels but since he is sort of behind...

Hello, I have posted here before and everyone was so helpful thought I would give it a try again. My son is almost 21 months old. Since he was 6 month old he has been having issues. We took him off wheat last september as well most milk and soy (was still getting some milk and soy in prepared foods). He was still having symptoms and we have been to just...

kuddos to you annie my now 18 month old son has been gluten free for a little over two months. After going through lots of blood work, biopsy (that they didnt do right) 2 gi docs, dietician (who wouldnt help us with out diagnosis) 2 pediatricians. We opted to try the diet. I have read several articles that say under the age of 6 tests are not accurate even...

Hello my 15 month old son I am 99% sure has celiacs. See signature for details. I am struggling with the whole shopping and cross contamination thing. I see on some boxes that say gluten free they have a note that says made in plant that may manufacture wheat. Should I steer clear of these items. Also he likes the quakers rice cakes. I emailed quaker to ask...

Ohh and also those blood results are yours. You or your insurance paid for them and you have right to get them. Sometimes you need to talk to medical records and sign a release form. I have all my sons records whether or not they were negative that way I can keep track of what he had done. I know with his panel they told me one thing but when I got them in...

Just curious how old is your daughter? We just went thru the same issues with my 15 month old son. I saw 2 pediatricians, two GIs a dietician. Still no concreate answers. We started gluten free 2 wks ago already showing signs of improvement. However I am struggling with the whole gluten free thing when it comes to shopping, particulary the cross contamination...

Hello my son 15 months old had an allergy test. Came back negative for which I am greatful for (at least it is only wheat unlike some childrn on this site that have every allergy under the sun). However how accurate are these with children. They did the blood test. I know celiac disease which I am 99% sure he has does not show up on the test, but I could...

Well his allergy panel came back negative. I know that does not mean he does not have celiac since that is an intestinal disorder not an allergy. I was sure it would show he had a lactose intolerance. Anyway we are sticking to the diet, and will see how he is in a few months. Does anyone know if the allergy panel is accurate on children 15 months old?

Does she have any other symptoms? I just started my son on gluten diet after going through blood work, stool tests, biopsie and the list goes on. Only to find out that all the tests under the age of 3 are inaccurate. Did alot of research and I am 99% sure my son has celiac. thanks to this forum and encouragement from others I said hell with the drs (been...

Glad to hear that my son is not the only one who has not grown and that has drs are not concerned. He is 15 months old and still wearing size 3-6 months. He went for 3 months without gainging weight, then gained about 1/2 a lb then he did not grow in length any for 3 months. This month after starting him on pediasure in place of his milk (it is gluten and...

Thank you everyon. This place is great. SO he has been gluten free since friday. Thank god he is not a picky eater (yet anyway). So far so good. I cannot wait to see how he is in a few months. He is on pediasure so he is finally gaining weight and growing in length.

Everyone thank you so much. I went to the store last night after 2 1/2 hrs I purchases items that were gluten free. Good news is my mother watches him during the day so I am going to prepare his meals and snacks for him every week and take over to her. Question what is casein free? I will definitely try to keep the food log. That is actually how I pinpointed...

Hello I need help my 15 month old has been sick for over 9 months. He has alot of celiac (or some other food allergy) symptoms. Symptoms include bloated, gassy, constipated, failure to thrive (no weight or height growth for several months at a time), iron deficiency, fussiness, constant spitting up (worse on wheat items) rashes when younger about ...
