[quote=Anonymous]a wheat allergy is very different from celiac disease. Wheat allergy is a histamine reaction and celiac disease is an autoimmune response to gluten. You have to completely eliminate gluten from the diet so that the body does not produce antibodies to it. The body has to work much harder when it's fighting gluten so it's best to eliminate it. Other health problems can come from it too like other autoimmune diseases. How is your son's health in general? I have celiac as well as my son and some times it is hard, but most of the time it is not so bad. There are so many more options now and more people know about it and understand it and accept it. And i too keep frozen cupcakes and treats on hand for parties. I leave some at his preschool too. And my son has learned to ask if something has gluten in it. [/quote]
