Maybe test the child for Celiac Disease....which simply means remove all Glutten from his diet.. My son was as this but was not until two years ago, as an adult, we learned he has Celiac Disease. In Europe all babies are tested for this.

There are different tests to use for this. The one that merely evaluates the level of the LgE antibodies will fail to provide information in babies without LgE antibodies ~ which is one of those conditions that kind of goes along with it.

There's a very good genetic (DNA) test developed and used in Scandinavia, but it has a lot of false positives.

Here's your clue ~ you feed the baby cream of wheat ~ stuff happens within half an hour ~ and you'll know what.

Cream of rice will not have the same effect.

Once you are aware the kid has a problem, you should be able to head off "failure to thrive".
