Thanks for your replies. Now that we are eating entirely whole foods there is no soy in the diet anymore (and I don't buy tofu). So one less thing to worry about in the meantime. He had no dairy today and no eggs, so we'll stick with this for now and I'll speak to the paediatritian tomorrow about what he thinks (although I've found diet information...

Just a quick update - I had ordered some blood tests from my own doctor after being diagnosed with the nephrotic syndrome (hospital/paed weren't interested in finding the cause of the problem so took it into my own hands) and the nurse just phoned to say he's got an egg allergy!!! And low in Vit D and zinc. There go the eggs.

Thanks for all your replies! OK, so I will start with dairy elimination as of today and will chat to him about the nuts and eggs too. Since tomorrow we're likely to start the taper off the drugs, it would be a good time to see how he reacts to coming off it. I might reintroduce millet again since he quite likes that and it will be a good replacement...

Hi, I haven't posted for a few years. My son was diagnosed with coeliacs 3yrs ago when he was 2.5yrs old and we have pretty much just cruised along like that since then. However, a few weeks back we were admitted to hospital and he was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome (minimal change). I'm trying to research as much as I can to see if I can find other...

Thanks for your encouraging commments. It does make me feel better than we are seeing the small changes. I didn't find my paediatrician particularly useful and in fact have learnt so much more on this site and maybe my knowledge and questions in response to his information annoyed him? Anyway, I'm glad I've got you all to help on this new journey.

My 2.5yr old has been gluten-free for a few months now and I have noticed that his skin rashes have cleared (they were just eczema type rashes on his torso), his poop is slightly darker, now "sinks" most of the time, and more formed and down to about 3 a day opposed to 5-6. I was thinking this was quite good, but I'm questioning whether it is "enough" progress...

I'm also in the "no milk needed" after weaning camp. Once my son self-weaned from breastfeeding at 14mths I didn't offer milk. He drinks loads of water. I did give him natural unsweetened yoghurt though along with his normal diet.

I am completely into homeopathy and have seen remedies do wonder for both of my kids (and I no longer suffer asthma). BUT, I recently spoke to my homeopath when Nathan was diagnosed and wanted to know whether homeopathy would help our case - she said NO, the remedies will help with the symptoms but will never get rid of it completely (which totally makes...

So I've been reading that this may show up also now that we've gone gluten-free. It's been 1 week and I think we've done really well, no visible changes yet, but the odd poop that is dark and "normal" looking (is this what happens in the early stages or the fact that it changes from pale to dark still mean he's likely getting glutened?). Our whole house...

OK, so I'm just new to phoning and emailing companies about products we currently have in our house and I was checking sunscreen yesterday and emailed about this product. I got a reply, they tell me it's gluten free, but I kind of felt the reply was making out that I was a bit dumb for thinking gluten would be in sunscreen based on the first paragraph, here...

Thanks! Wow, still a bit confused though...my mum is going to her doctor tomorrow to get a test done since she also thinks she's suffered for years. Her doctor has Celiac's, so she's going to ask his opinion on it too.

Thanks everyone! Well fortunately it was a once off hissy fit, so maybe just a regular hormonal 2yr old day???

My head is just spinning with questions at the moment and I spent hours last night lying awake in bed when I should have been sleeping..... Anyway, I've come across differing opinions on whether to introduce gluten to younger siblings. My baby will soon be at the age to introduce wheat (I actually already had given her a few regular crackers but stopped...

OK, so I've read that people can be affected when they get glutened, but how about going gluten-free? We made the switch from lunchtime yesterday and all was well, he even slept through the night last night (that was a miracle in itself). But OMG, this morning it's like some crazy child has been unleashed - screaming, crying, disagreeable, not listening...

Thanks for your replies. I can't believe how much I've already learnt in the space of 24hrs! We are committing to thid diet as of this weekend and will be making our house gluten-free.
