I have had my son on a gluten free diet for two weeks. He does not have Celiac but instead a possible gluten intolerance. For the past two days he has been telling me his stomach feels weird. Has anyone experienced this when starting their gluten free diet?

Wow! Thank you so much for all the information. What a help. It's the little things you can't really research on the computer that bug me. Like the toaster, peanut butter, jelly, etc all being separate. I really thought maybe someone could be a little bit celiac so it is good to know that is not the case. If you think of anything else you want to add please...

Thank you so much for the reply. I will definitely try the web sites you suggested as well as the nutritionist. I did find it odd that our pediatric GI doctor never recommended a nutritionist.

I am so new to all this and completely lost. If the doctor believes it to be celiac disease why would he put him a on gluten free diet? You are telling me celiac is not an allergy to gluten. Why the diet then? The biopsy showed acute and chronic inflammatory cells that he did not pick up on during the procedure and supposedly are not supportive of a celiac...

I was under the impression the villi had to show signs of damage in order for there to be a gluten allergy. Is that not the case?

I am new to all of this so please forgive me if I come across the wrong way. If you know your child has a gluten allergy and you know what the consequences are going to be then why do you allow them to have it? My son was recently diagnosed so you will most likely see me on here asking pretty silly questions. Thanks for understanding.

Hello. My eight year old son has had some issues with not being able to hold bowel movements. If we are out and about and he has to go I have a two minute window to find a bathroom for him. If we are not able to get there quickly he has accidents. We went to a pediatric GI doctor who did some blood work. He said the one test came back normal while the other...
