Hi,
Is it right that there is a special test for coeliac disease that can be done when on a mostly wheat-free diet? I thought I read on here that there was a "parallel" test that could be done but GPs I have spoken to don't seem to have heard of it.
My ds has a little bit of wheat (in oats processed on mixed-use machinery etc) every day and actual wheat biscuits once a week to check how he's reacting, but he's often tired and gets more illness than others and I'm wondering if we should be testing for coeliac.
I haven't put him on a full wheat diet to do the test, because wheat makes his nose swell shut which makes sleeping, eating and drinking really really hard.
Thanks!
