My son 3 went on a gluten-free diet last fall. However, his problem is not celiac disease but an apparent allergy to wheat--he can eat oatmeal without problems. Since he went on the diet he has stopped getting dry skin patches and rashes. He also has lost weight (a good thing) since when eating lunch out with colleagues he pretty much has to stick with salads!

Some of his gluten-free snacks taste better than those with wheat, which makes it difficult to keep the kids out of them--they are definitely more expensive than the kids' crackers!
