[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad to know my kid had failure to thrive and chronic constipation due to something that doesn't even exist. Silly pediatric gastroenterologists! The 5 of you we saw over a 4 year period should have told us it was all make-believe. [/quote]

Or if you read the article you would see that it could also be something like FODMAPS rather than the gluten itself. How did they conclusively diagnose a gluten sensitivity? I am not aware of any tests that show a positive result for that. Celiac - yes. Gluten sensitivity - no. Mostly it comes from elimination diets and trial and error, neither of which are specific to gluten.[/quote]

Or you could not assume I don't know about FODMAPs. We spent 4 years with top-notch doctors doing biopsies, on elimination diets, laxatives, and the only thing that helped was cutting out the gluten containing foods. My kid grew inches, put on lbs, and finally looked like a four year old and not a Biafran toddler. If it doesn't contain gluten it doesn't cause her trouble. She's 8 now and knows more about nutrition and allergies than most adults. Sorry my kid's happy ending doesn't fit your pet theory.[/quote]
