[QUOTE="Josie, post: 177361, member: 1792"] You say he is allergic to gluten and wheat and other things. Is he on the gluten free diet? How do you know he is allergic? My kids both have (unofficially diagnosis'ed by me) celiac disease so I understand what you are talking about absorbtion and growth concerns. If he isn't already on the gluten free diet, you don't need a doctor to give you permission to do it. With your concerns about him, I think it would be worth trying. If he is already on the diet, are you sure you have all of the gluten out of his diet? We have to avoid anything that may contain traces of it. At least 1/2 the time that I eat in a restaurant, I get some accidental gluten so you might need to avoid eating out. A good resource for gluten free dieting is [URL="http://www.glutenfreeforum.com"]www.glutenfreeforum.com[/URL]. If he is already on the gluten free diet, the celiac panel will probably not be positive. You have to be eating gluten for it to be positive. You might have to go out of the mainstream medical world to get the answers you are wanting. I have found that mainstream medicine tends to treat symptoms and then only if they meet their definition of a problem. As an example, my daughter had a low grade fever for weeks along with a headache. The doctors thought she was depressed because her fever didn't meet their definition of a fever. It turns out she has Lyme Disease. I have had the best luck with physicians, with an MD, who practice outside the mainstream parameters. Most of them have not been covered by insurance but have been very helpful. [/QUOTE]
