First of all thank you for reading this.
My son is 2 years old and he hasnt grown in roughly 8/9 months. Health officials always told me he was just small despite my concerns. He has roughly 6 dirty nappies a day which as absolutly foul smelling and always loose.
We recently went for a hospital appointment and was told they were going to check for everything from downs syndrome, dwarfism, celiac disease, williams syndrome.
During my research on all these conditions they all seem to have celiac connections.
My questions really are
What tests do i need to make sure they do for celiac disease?
How long until the results are available?
Will my son grow if he is on a wheat and gluten free diet?
And whats it like to have a child with this condition?
Im slightly scared it seems huge and i did try and give him a gluten and wheat free diet until diagnosis to see if it would help with his tummy aches and then realised i wasnt helping as i didnt think about the hidden things like caking agents and starch.
Anyway thanks for reading this i hope i made some sense.

wow i am actually crying.
My son has many of the same symptoms.
I have a very sleepy toddler and yes everyone says how wonderful but i just knew.
He poops up to 6 times a day, wakes up often in the morning and his sheets need to be changed.
He letsw out a bottom burp and it smells really bad but he was also doing this 2 days after birth.
His tummy gets really big and he screams until he poops.
He hasnt grown for 8/9 months and is now under the bottom centile.
I am actually taking him back to the doctors tomorrow and demanding they do something can u believe we have been waiting 5 weeks for a hospital appointment for him to have tests.
Thank you all so much.
