Hi, my son is 5 and has struggled with GI issues ever since he started solid food at 7 months old. We had a difficult time finding a doctor to treat him, so we finally put him on a 100% gluten-free diet when he was a little over 2. His improvement was dramatic, so we have continued the diet. He has very bad reactions even when he just touches something...

My three year old son has had digestive issues since he started solid food at 6 months. He was horribly constipated, sometimes for more than a week or two (before he was prescribed miralax). He cried every time he went to the bathroom and he would push and push until a huge ball of poop would come out (size of a softball at least) from his little body....

We have had problems with Silk almondmilk. It took me a couple days to figure out where the problem was coming from, but we finally figured it had to be the milk. We usually use Almond Breeze, but we got Silk because it was on sale and my son (three years old) was SO sick all of a sudden. He is very sensitive, so that may be it. I know we have had it...

Our favorite gluten-free cookbook is The Healthy Gluten Free Life. I use it daily! Very easy to read, pictures for every recipe, explanations of flours and other ingredients in the front of the book. Really well done. All recipes are gluten, dairy, soy, and egg free.

We believe that two of my kids have celiac, but we had a terrible pediatrician who just really didn't care to find any answers with us. My daughter will be one tomorrow. When she started eating at 6 months she had gluten in her diet. Between her 6 and 9 month check ups she barely grew. She dropped from the 75th to the 10th percentile. I was shocked and...

Wow, thank you all so much! You are all very helpful! I actually called today and set up an appointment with a new pedicatrician. I am hoping I can get the referrals I need from a different doctor. I would love to find an understanding GI who can give me some options and ideas on what the best steps to take would be. Good idea on my husband and I getting...

I have a 3 year old son who has had severe GI issues, iron deficiency anemia, missing tooth enamel, and unexplained outbursts since he was 6 months old and started solid food. I could not get my pediatrician to understand how bad it was. I even took video of my son screaming in pain as he went to the bathroom. And this was a daily thing! In my heart I...

Thank you, everyone! I figured I would need a real diagnosis at some point. I have a lame pediatrician and I have to find a new one. I have been asking for a referral to a GI doc for a couple years and have been refused the referral. I have called the GI docs and they say that I need a referral from my pediatrician. Ugh. Now to research pediatricians...

Hi Everyone! This is my first post and it is regarding my 3 year old son. From the time my son started solid food (6 months old) he had GI issues. He was severely constipated. The first time it happened he did not poop for 16 days! Our doctor said it was fine, but my baby was in so much pain. At that point our pediatrician prescribed Miralax to be taken...
