Have you tried taking him off gluten just to see what happens? You can also try testing for casein and dairy allergy, I have heard these types of responses as well, so sorry for his illnesses, good luck! Vanessa Hi Pam

He had colic from birth to 1 then continued to have runny nappies, { but not always} a rattlely chest , fixated about food, and snacks all day on healthy foods, but still eats main meals. He can't keep up with his peers , he also has cyanosis when he becomes fatigued or ill, which is frequently. He has times in the day when he is a happy content little boy, he his very clever but has peaks & troughs in behaviour. He can be a very unhappy upset, short tempered and unreasonable chap. His behaviour hinders his developement. I just hope we get some answers so we can have him happy & well all the time. We have a 5 yr old who is happy clever & content. We manage their behaviour well but it can be challenging with our son. I feel he will be labled with behavioural problems if we don't get an answer . worried Mum I think my 3 yr old has celiacs, he is having tests.

My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac and type 1 diabetes within the last 5 years. Since she was an infant she had had chronic difficulty with her digestion and bowels, was inattentive in class, and had trouble sleeping. Her behavior was erratic,: angry, moody, and often very hyper. We were told by every professional we went to that she had "cholic", "ADD", "ADHD", possible bi-polar type psychological problems requiring medications. It wasn't until we discovered the gluten sensitivity and removed gluten from her diet that everything became so much better. It all made sense in hindsight. Gluten intolerance presents with the many of the same symptoms as attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. I feel so sorry for my girl that she had to put up with the teachers, and the doctors, and her parents treating her like she had a psychological imbalance when what was going on inside of her was chemical. She is now a healthy, happy straight A student with lots of friends and none of her previous symptoms. I HIGHLY suggest that any pediatrician, parent or teacher noticing a child who seems unable to focus or settle down, has hyperactivity, who may have bowel trouble, headaches, sleeplessness, "Cholic", or any number of inconclusive symptoms which may be of concern, to check first for gluten intolerance. My daughter could have been spared years of discomfort and unhappiness if we had just known what was going on. Best wishes to our fellow celiac friends. Thank you for your article.
