<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Has anyone ever done gluten challenge with a child where the child had no idea he was eating gluten? After over five years on the gf diet, my seven year old son had bowel surgery for a retention problem and is now able to eat acidic foods without problems. We asked the doctor if this was a good time to do a gluten challenge and a biopsy. The doctor said it was best not to let Alex know that he was having gluten because if he tested positive for celiac, he would be better off not knowing how all those gluten foods taste. We agreed, and I baked his usual breads with some gluten four. He did not have any obvious reactions; just a lot of gas and burping. When we got the biopsy report, we were told, "It looks negative, but keep doing the challenge for another month." They also found gastritis and he is currently being treated for H. pylori. Here is my question: Am I a whiner or would doing a blind gluten challenge for 8 weeks drive anyone crazy? I have to hide in the kitchen and sneak gluten flour into my baking, while still trying to act like we are maintaining a strict gf diet. Maybe I am making too much of this, but the stress of deception is getting to me. Kay Warsaw, IN
