[quote=Anonymous]I was trying to read the difference between wheat allergy and celiac-i just get more confused! Thanks for the simple explanation. Oh yeah, he's half Asian and half European descent, so, I guess that's why we find it a surprise. No thyroid, no celiac, no type 1 diabetes in the family. Anemic, yes.

To answer the health question: 
Overall, my son's health is I would say normal, as I see it. He's always been in the 95% for height and weight, yet lean and tall for his age but always had a belly. Both parents are on the lean side. He's always eaten anything we've given him with the exception of leafy greens. He's engaging but with adults more, very verbal, asks questions about gluten, silly but stubborn, must have his ways.  Sports? likes riding tricycle and balance bike. Sometimes todder soccer.  We take hikes in the woods sometimes. He walks on his own, uphill, downhill. Lately, it's jumping, and leaping off couches, beds, steps, anything elevated. 
Whiney and clingy-can't tell if he's tired or just a normal toddler phase.  He gets stomach aches 3-4 times a year but I can't tell if it's stomach virus, bug, or dirty hands. These usually lasts 4-5 days with vomiting in the 1st day-hard to tell. Does he thrive in preschool? He has been able to pick up recognizing letters and numbers in matters of weeks after joining his class. He's the youngest in class, others are 4-5. Does he engage with other kids? Sometimes but not often enough but I'm not sure if it's cause he's the youngest or stubborn or tired or socially slow at adapting to the environment with alot of kids.
