I'm trying to work out the best way to proceed with DS.
Bit of background: There are lots of allergies in our family and we've always been concerned that DS had some too. Last year after a run of 'viruses' (ie temp spikes; being very irritable; runny stools and being extra sleepy) he was referred to a consultant. After weighing, measuring and generally looking him over the consultant signed him off and said she didn't think he had a wheat allergy or coeliac's so she wouldn't send him for blood tests.
I've been monitoring his diet and his reactions seem to be connected to dairy. I don't know if he's lactose intolerant; has a dairy allergy or is responding to something else in milk, cream, etc. Is the best idea to just try different exclusion diets or book private blood tests for him?
TIA
