Changes in reactions to Gluten/casein

[Guest guest]

Over thanksgiving my son got some regular oatmeal and within hours he was

constipated. (he normally gets Lara's Oatmeal and has never had a problem with

it, so Im assuming that he got some gluten due to cross contamination) After two

days of watching him struggle to go, I finally gave him a laxative to get things

moving.

This is a change. Any time we had a gluten infraction in the past (thankfully

they've been rare), he's had an upset stomach and diarrhea within hours, along

with behavioral problems for a few days.

We also had a dairy infraction last week. The boy went to town on the sour

cream vegi dip at a christmas party. This time we didnt have any reaction at

all. Im hoping this means I can occasionally give him some dairy. Definately

not ready to try this with gluten.

Im wondering if others have seen this (mostly the change in reaction to gluten)

and if this is an indication that his gut is starting to heal.

Any thoughts?
