My 2 year old daughter was having Diarrhea (really bad) for almost a year straight. Her doctor kept changing her diet after all parasite tests came back negative. I did some research and talked to her doctor about Celiacs. He didn

If your daughter has an allergy to gluten then she will have a problem. You might not notice it but an allergy is an allergy. If she has Celiac Disease then she will probably have more than one symptom ranging from diarrhea, headaches, acid reflux, throwing up, brain fog, and on and on. So, you might not even know she is having a reaction because she is so small still. My advice is that even though she "doesn't have a reaction" she still shouldn't have wheat/gluten no matter what amount.

Even if you can't see the damage it can affect you. My son has Celiac and many food allergies including wheat. We had no clue he had the food allergies because he has never had an outward reaction (swelling, difficulty breathing, hives). When he had his first endoscopy in March the GI said he had a rash and hives on his esophagus due to the food allergies. So, you never know. Your daughters reaction could be all internal even though she seems fine.

      Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

      Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed. I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. thanks for all your help

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
