Wheat/gluten intolerance?

How would I know if my son had a problem with wheat or gluten or something like that?

He is dairy intolerant so I have been quite careful with his diet. But recently I have introduced toast and he has also eaten a jar of baby food with pasta in it.

For about the last 2-3 weeks he has had very loose bowel movements a few times a day. We thought it was teething as he has been cutting two teeth at once the whole time. But the poo problem seems to be going on a long time... we took him to the doctor who wasn't sure and suggested we take stool samples to be tested to see if he had a bug. He's also been quite irritable lately which he just put down to teething too.

I haven't done that as in the last 2 days he seems to be back to normal. However I also noticed that over the last few days I haven't given him any toast or anything with wheat/gluten in it. It could be a total coincidence but it made me wonder what I should do to find out? And what the signs are?

Thanks

My boy can't have wheat and his appears as bowel intolerance and a terrible face rash.

Other signs I do believe is a lot of farting. Also some kids get really blocked up & constipated. I guess the only way is to do a food trial.


Just reading my book, irritability could be a sign. Coeliacs in the majority will experience diarrhoea & abdominal complaints other symptoms are easy bruising of skin, mouth ulcers, skin rashes altered mental alertness poor weight gain.
