My son had both celiac and a milk allergy. They both abated in his teenage years. We had heard that a small percentage of cases abated spontaneously. This goes back 20 years. Perhaps if he were a baby now the differential diagnosis might be different.

Lucky that you had a Dr. that caught the Celiac early. Might have been a different story.

When I was a baby I was diagnosed as "failure to thrive" because they could not figure out that I had Celiac. My mother was heart broken because I was malnourished and she was feeding me everything she could think of. It was the third doctor she took me to that suggested she put me on a Glutin free diet. By George it worked!!!! When I was 8 or 9 years old I started sneaking bread and failed to have the harsh symptoms I used to have. I am 32 years old and am going to have my new born son tested when he pops out so we don't have any problems. I have read articles that suggest stresses can cause recurrences of Celiac symptoms and when I quit smoking 1 year, 9 months, 15 days and 11 hours ago I think it might have created some allergy because I cannot breathe through my nose. I might go back on the diet and see if it is Celiac related.
