I found Udi's today at Target!!! I know it has egg in it but for now I'm just cutting back on the gluten. One thing at a time. Haven't tried the bread yet. Well I did make it but he refused to eat it. So far today he's only eaten 2 applesauces and has refused everything else. He says I'm going to go to jail for child abuse for not feeding him! Ha ha...

I'm so glad you wrote this. I was wondering if I could do it slowly so he doesn't have such bad withdrawal from gluten. That's good to know that it's helping your son so much. Although my son is only a few days in and isn't eating much at all right now, I swear he's been so much nicer and more compliant since I've changed his diet. Thanks for the encouraging...

Hi Stephanie. It's his pediatrician who ordered the tests. I guess it's because he's on the spectrum and she though going Gluten-free Casein-free might be able to help him. I called today and his test for Celiac was negative. Do you think he really is intolerant to gluten and all of those other things if just the IgG tests were done?

Lisa, THANK YOU. All of these suggestions are very helpful!!! Do you happen to know if you can find the Udi's white bread at Whole Foods? I bought some other brand that is pretty nasty.

Yes, the pediatrician forgot to have the celiac test done so she had us go back to the lab to check for it. That was 3 days ago. Do you think she has the results yet? It was just a blood test though no endoscopy. Right after that test is when I cut out his gluten.

Yes, this is the child that can't have chicken or beef either! Or eggs or peanuts or... He's never tried bacon. I know it's hard to believe but he literally only eats 4-5 different things and that's it. He's never tried a hamburger. Or had any pork products. Now after talking to this allergist today, I'm not even sure I'm doing the right thing. Would...

Oh, and I meant to add that I wish I could get him to eat a lot of the naturally glute-free foods, but he literally only eats: chicken nuggets, Papa Johns cheese pizza, chocolate chip pancakes, and cinnamon toast (made from white bread). Occasionally I can get him to eat an apple or applesauce. So his diet is VERY limited.

Thanks for your replies. This is not easy. He came down with a severe migraine (so bad he vomitted) this evening. I caved and let him eating something with gluten and it was gone within a few minutes. I just couldn't take him screaming in pain for almost an hour. I'm not sure this is going to work for us. We saw an allergist today (for his seasonal...

This is my son's third day being gluten-free. He is 10 and is a HORRIBLE eater. So far, he refuses everything I offer him. He has only eaten a few gluten-free cookies, a gluten-free ice cream sandwich, and applesauce. He hates the gluten-free bread, the gluten-free pancakes that I made, the gluten-free pizza that I made (which was actually really good...

He had blood, urine, and stool tested. I think it was the IgG or the IgE (???) test. He also had the O.A.T. test done. I can't remember the names of the other ones. There were 3 kits that the doctor gave me. We had to collect the specimens and overnight them to the Great Plains Lab in Kansas. I'll check out the sticky for newbies. Thanks!!!

Thanks Mizzo for your reply. Sadly, yes that is all he eats. He'll also eat junk (cookies, cake) occasionally if I let him. I've heard of the Bell and Evan chicken tenders but he tested that he was intolerant of chicken so he's not supposed to have it anymore. Yes, you are right. He has a VERY limited diet. Not really sure how we are going to do this...

Hi everyone. My 10-year-old recently had a food sensitivities test done and we got the results back a few days ago. He is intolerant to gluten, all dairy, chicken, beef, eggs (yolks and whites), peanuts, oranges, grapefruit, and watermelon. Currently (well, most of his life) his diet is horrible. He has sensory and texture issues and literally vomits...
