1. a wits end

I am a Mum to a wonderful 2yo daughter who is incredibly grumpy most of the time she was diagnosed with GERD at 4 weeks old. We started on the drug roundabout and had to increase GERD meds frequently as she improves and then worsens. We are at the maximum amount of drugs she can have and are at our wits end. Her development is pretty much on track (but slow to talk), we have tried all sorts of natural therapies and nothing worked. Ive looked at celiacs before but excluded bc she is growing and reflux doesn't seem to be a symptom, but now im desperate, could this be our cure all?

1. Gluten and GERD

Thanks. I suggest that you look at the forum comments on reflux. Most “GERD” children do not have celiac disease, but they have a gluten-sensitivity (The Gluten Syndrome). This is tested for by the blood tests IgG-gliadin. As she has already had the “celiacs tests”, then why not try a gluten-free diet for the next 8-10 weeks and see how she goes. She may get very much better. You have nothing to lose. Do let me know of her progress. Cheers, Rodney Ford.
