[QUOTE="Josie, post: 176832, member: 1792"] Dara, my kids don't test positive for wheat/gluten or dairy allergies either. One of them has also been tested for celiac disease multiple times and it was negative. The doctors used to tell me it wasn't a food issue. difficult child 1 is a easy child now as long as she stays away from gluten and milk. If she has even a trace of it, she reverts back to her difficult child ways. I would encourage you to try the gluten free diet for him. There is actually a link between epilepsy and celiac disease. People with epilepsy are more likely to have celiac disease and vice versa. Unfortunately, there is a lot yet to be learned about celiac disease/gluten intolerance. The tests they have are not very accurate. My child is very picky. Before she changed her diet, her favorite (somewhat healthy) foods were grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese. In the first days of the diet, I emphasized the foods she liked that she could still have, like potato chips, candy, and ice cream. I wanted to get her to comply and not feel deprived so I could see if it would make a difference in her behaviour. Then I would worry about a healthier diet later. For her, I thought I could see a difference in the first week. It was hard to know for sure because she did have some good days even pre-diet. Eventually, it became clear that she would have to give up milk, too. I did do a test from [URL="http://www.enterolab.com"]www.enterolab.com[/URL] which told me she was gluten and casein (milk) intolerant. This gave me the conviction to try it. While most mainstream doctors will dismiss this test, it is very well accepted in the celiac community. ETA: When I started the girlfriend diet, I could feel a difference in myself by the second day.
