Hope that the doctors have some good thoughts and advice for you. luckily, CD is becoming much more widely known and physicians are getting better about including that in the work up for these issues. Please be sure to mention the family history to your child's physician. please post back here to let us know how it went!

It would probably be a good idea to have a food alergy test ran on him. its three hundred dollars that insurance does not cover but its well worth it because it doesn't just tell you if you have celiac desease but lets you know of other allergies as well.
