[QUOTE="Josie, post: 506857, member: 1792"] I would look into celiac disease/gluten intolerance. The GI doctor can test for it, but whatever the testing shows, it would be worth a try of the girlfriend diet. There is a growing recognition, even among doctors, that some people have gluten sensitivity that can cause problems, without having positive celiac tests. It is very common for it to be missed though. A lot of Matt's problems could be explained by gluten intolerance. There is even a rash that can go along with it. Mental problems, too. My younger daughter had a stomach ache for the first 8 years of her life, but always tested negative for celiac. Finally, I did an alternative test on her which showed she had gluten and milk intolerance. Giving those up made her stomach problems go away. The rest of us didn't have stomach problems but more psychiatric symptoms which went away with no gluten. My older daughter was a difficult child until we found out about this. Now, she doesn't stay on her diet all of the time and has her moments of GFGish behavior, but it is rarely like it used to be. This is something he can try on his own. The only real reason to get tested by a doctor is if he wants to know if he has official celiac disease. If he does, he is supposed to be on that diet no matter how he feels. If he tries the diet and feels better, he may just do it anyway. No one in my family is officially diagnosed. Some of us have been tested and it was negative, but we all feel better girlfriend. There is girlfriend pasta that is pretty good. I could tell on my first day that it was going to make a difference for me and I didn't even think I had a problem with it. We used Enterolab for testing, if you are interested in doing an alternative test yourself. What convinced me, though, was trying the diet. Good Luck. I hope you can find an answer for him. [/QUOTE]
