You're looking for an outward reaction - but damage may be being done by

the gluten that isn't so noticeably visible. Also, you may open up a

whole new world of focusing and learning by bein gluten free. Try it.

Actually we have been gluten free for something over a year - I even

grind my own rice and bean flours to avoid the cross contamination

issue and lower costs, and we've challenged with wheat a few times in

this period and received confirmation that we should continue.

But there was absolutely no such reaction to the trial with the oat

only cereal. So I am really debating on whether I have the option of

broadening my sons diet a bit.

I guess you have just confirmed what I knew - there is no absolute

answer but just watch my son and make the decision based on that.

Thanks anyway.
