My son is 3 1/2 years old. For various reasons (slow growth, frequent
diarrhea, and other problems), we decided to investigate
gluten-intolerance. Last week we received the results from some blood
tests for gluten antibodies (gliadin, reticulin, endomysial
something-or-other).
The results were "normal". I did not ask for the numbers; should I?
Does this mean that Andy for sure does not have gluten intolerance? We
tried a gluten-free diet for about 2 days before having to go back to
gluten for the blood tests. Should we try the diet again?
What about casein intolerance? Is there a specific blood test for this?
Or is this a matter of "if it helps to go dairy-free then go dairy-free"?
Doctors seem to think I am looking for "Lorenzo's oil" by asking to check
for these dietary intolerances. Sheesh.
Thanks,
Beth Jones
