Lohr's (my son) symptoms were: diarrhea - his stools were usually green and white and floated, or were so watery they just formed and oily layer on the surface. blistery/pimply rash on arms, legs and buttocks malnurished, even though he ate everything in sight (he also loved bread and crackers) hard rock like stomach - distended. Gas, stomach pains Total disappearance of all symptoms but the rash (which cleared up considerably) once on a gluten free diet, and reoccurance of symptoms with a gluten challange. Well, these are all the symptoms I can remember. I also noticed a marked improvement in his behavior once he was on an allergen/gluten free diet! Christine Childs
