    On the prompting of several of you (thanks again!) I contacted my son's paediatrician on Monday and requested blood work and a bone aging X-ray be done on him. I requested the X-ray as well because both a family member requested this done on his child (the child's result came back with bone age spot on their actual age) as well as a friend (the child's bone...

    You guys are wealth of information! Thank you again for taking the time to help guide me. I wasn't able to get ahold of the doctor to request the blood test over the weekend as the office was closed. Will call this morning. And I will also request the Xray for the bone age. Will let you know how things progress.

    Thank you everybody for all the great advise and support. Cyberprof: you made my Friday I really needed to hear a success story like that of your son. Especially since I feel like we're sitting right where you were five years ago. I haven't been able to get into our doctor until November 9 which I know will be too late for bloodwork. However, I do...

    On my jumbo shopping trip to replace my kitchen staples with gluten free ones I came across "Only Oats" by Avena Foods. The packaging and their website indicate that their oats are uncontaminated with wheat etc. Their muffin mix is incredible! I've baked a few dozen muffins and my kids love them Or, maybe they just love that I'm actually baking for...

    Thank you for all of the information and advise. Much appreciated. Because my initial concern (since he really had no conclusive outward symptoms) was his slow growth, I am really hesitant to go back onto gluten UNTIL he has a chance to grow. He's at a really critical point in his social development and his size is causing him a great deal of distress...

    As far as I can tell, he has NO problem with milk whatsoever. He drinks at least a couple of glasses everyday, has it on his cereal (now gluten free) and loves cheese. I would only remove it from his diet if I had to! I am anxious for him to start growing and if this helped him, we definitely would give it a try.

    Can you please tell me if you stopped milk for a period of time to allow healing of the intestine? If so, for how long? Would it take longer for healing to occur on milk or is this a case-by-case situation? Milk and milk products are a big part of my son's diet and I would prefer not to have to take him off this unless absolutely necessary.

    Thanks for the great news

    Thanks for the reply Cara. Given that my son already has an allergist and since we're not certain what (if anything) is an issue for him, I figured we'd start there. Honestly, even if he isn't gluten intolerant/celiac, we would be trying to eliminate gluten from all of our diets. Since this is the case, I'm not certain how critical it is that we put...

    I have always assumed that Whey is a wheat protein and as such, not gluten free. Can I continue to use whey for smoothies?

    I'm so happy to have found this forum. I have a 13 year old son who has yet to be diagnosed with either gluten intolerance or celiac however, I do suspect one or the other. He will be seeing his allergist (on our request) next Wednesday to have the basic skin testing done for wheat as well as other allergens. I know that skin testing isn't exactly a perfect...
