Could My Son Have Celicac Disease or Something Else?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to share....

My almost three yo son has always had mild/moderate stomach problems (also has dark under-eye circles). Now that he is talking he complains that his tummy hurts quite often. He has infrequent stools--sometimes nothing, sometimes three or more per day. He often has diarreah or at least loose stools. As a baby he often was fussy and I always suspected that his stomach hurt. I thought that he was lactose intolerant and and use rice, almond, and soy milk. Although he seems to tolerate yougurt quite well.

What do you think? Could this be celiac? I tried going gluten free once, but couldn't afford all the different flour products. Any other ideas....it just doesn't seem "normal" for him to have such frequent stomach aches.

Thanks

Yes it could be a sign. If it is....you should do a gluten challenge.

Going gluten free does not have to be expensive.

PM me...I have something I have been working on that you might be able to help me with.

They can check him for celiac with a simple blood test. Just insist that your Dr run it. I would not go GF without getting the labs done first as you can not run the test after going GF.
