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?

I forgot to say when he ate the jar of baby food with pasta (spaghetti), about halfway through it he puked it all back up. It was a real puke rather than a spill.
He had that flavour one other time in the past and didn't spew but it didn't seem to agree with him and he didn't like to eat it. ------------- Me 28, DH 29 DS born 20 Nov 2010 (4 years old) #2 due October 7 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

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. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I find if they don't like to eat it then that tends to be them knowing that it's not going to be good for them. I still do try and offer the 10 times that plunket recommends
