I don't blame you! Obviously, I wouldn't either! Hey, if taking gluten away works, then it works. I no longer care why. I've been in so many verbal arguments with doctors over "does he or doesn't he have Celiac?" that I finally said they can all call it whatever they want. Despite all the "contradictory" blood testing, his medic alert bracelet says Celiac, and always will...so there you go.

Suzanne - Bobby was very similar when we did a gluten challenge! He was lieing on the floor in pain, crying. We won't be giving him gluten ever again! Chris

My daughter had the same poop history you describe. It was an eye opener

when we went GF. The reason her poop was so good was what was not coming

out. Honestly, if you are bothering to go GF, which is tough, just do

GFCF and cheat with the milk if you think it is BS. Just mo

What can you do if your child does not like most of the gluten free foods, I

feel so bad, I know my son wont starve but he doesn't like the bagels, pizza,

ice cream cones that are gluten free. When they are hungry enough I guess

they will eat. My son does have an appointment with a DAN Dr in our area but

not until June. Is there anyway that a child can be on a semi gluten free

diet and still see results or does it have to be completely gluten free???? That

may sound dumb but I have heard how sometimes later these or some of these

foods can be re introduced.
