<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks to all who responded to the question of dairy protein passing through, containing gluten. The majority consensus was that the dairy protein does not contain gluten and should not be an issue, unless leaky gut is involved. Others suggested goat's milk, which has a smaller protein, more digestible. Does anyone know of a pediatric gatroenterologist in the North or Central Florida area? I used the practice at the University of Florida in Gainesville (they only see one or two celiacs per year) only to be admonished for placing my 16 month old daughter on a "restrictive and unhealthy gluten free diet." Her antibodies were negative - I suspect a false negative as she had been on a strict gluten free diet for 2 months before the blood work. The reason she is on gluten free: I am gluten intolerant for over 8 years, and my 8 year old daughter is a diagnosed celiac. When Jessie started having chronic anemia, losing weight, and basically responding just as her sister had when she was a toddler, I placed her on a strict gluten free. Her anemia is now gone, and she has gained two pounds. This seems evidence enough for me, yet her specialist thinks I am self diagnosing and placing her "at risk" by restricting her diet. Obviously, he doesn't know about the benefits of whole grains or grain variety in a diet. I need to find a new doctor, one who is familiar with celiac/gluten intolerance and can work with me for my daughter's best health. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I can drive as far as Jacksonville, Orlando, or Tampa easily from Gainesville. Thank you. Rhonda
