ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed ( I Think?) 4 Year Old..... Confused Mama
Jodie8 replied to Jodie8's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thank you all so much for the advice. I appreciate it very, very much! When we received the call 6 days ago, I immediately put my son on a gluten-free diet-which was so easy!!

At my insistence the pediatrician tested... -

Hi! I am looking for information please:) My son Leo is 4 1/2 and has always been a very intense little fellow. He is allergic (non-IgE mediated) to dairy and soy which we found out about when he was 6 weeks old and would poop out blood when I consumed those allergens. He had horrible, horrible colic and was a very "high needs" baby and was a clingy, grumpy...
