My son was the same way. We had got gluten free but we were still having some behavior issues. I ended up cutting our dairy, as well, and it made a BIG difference. Try cutting out dairy and go from there. If there are still issues, do an elimination diet. We've found that he can have limited amounts of dairy (as minor ingredients in something)and...

Cara - this sounds very similar to my son! He improved after removing gluten but then he kept having episodes. We removed milk an he got even better. The extreme episodes are farther apart and good dys growing in number. But he stills has those bad says and days of just constant irritability. It could be a cc of gluten or milk,...or something else we haven...

By the way, I should dd that I don't intend to come off as saying a diagnosi isn't important. It is. If you feel you are on the right track, then keep at it. Good luck.

I hear you on the 'feeling like your on your own'. It's so frustrating. I am still learning to trust my mommy gut. And from reading about your daughter, I think you should trust yours! I'm a newbie here to so am sure you will get some really helpful info from others on here - I already have. I am one who has not gotten the official test done on my...

Thank you. That makes sense. I have to be honest that I haven't given that as much attention is I should. And I'm honestly not sure how much CC goes on in our home. But it's definitely something I will be paying more attention to.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond. It means so much to me. Sometimes I feel so lost. His attitidue is a little better today...still stuffed up. He doesn't react very well to typical cold/allergy meds so bought some all-nutaral stuff (Sinupret) yesterday in hopes it will help him. Thank you for suggesting the journal. This is something...

I think this is more a newbie vent than anything...but reading here today has been so validating for me. My son is 7 years old. Starting at age 3 we have battled a whole slew of things with no difinitive answers. He has long had horrible mood swings coupled with tantrums, kicking, yelling, etc. Even that description does not give the severeness of it...

Has anyone had reactions to Udi's sliced bread and/or buns??? I'm so frustrated right now. My son is 7 years old who has long suffered with allergies and frequent emotional 'meltdowns'. After an allergist was unable to identify what the issue was, we started seeing a nutritionist and biofeedback specialist who identified milk and gluten. I have long...

I know there are a lot of people searching around on these boards looking for answers when they suspect celiac so wanted to be sure to come back and post after my appointment no matter what the results were. First thing - I'm so glad I went. And I was so releived that the doctor didn't think I was a complete looney. After examining my son and asking...

Thanks for the replies. I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I've written down everything that has been going on. I have no clue how familiar our family doctor is with food intolerances/celiac or even is one that will listen to me about the subject. I think part of me is afraid that they will let it all go in one ear and out the other and again...

I guess I should also add that he doesn't sleep that great. Usually up at least once per night. And often he complains of being hungry when he does wake up....like at 3 in the morning.

My son has really been having troubles in school...he's fine most of the time but every once in awhile he'll get upset and act out and seems irritable often. Usually after lunch time. He's tired a lot and often falls asleep at school (he's in preschool starts kinder this fall). He's a picky eater and doesn't usually eat much. He likes to snack rather...
