yes they do

That is true, but usually the older you get the less likely it is to have a high fever. His friends the same age aren't having an immune response like this. The only difference is the Celiac....Very good point though. I really appreciate it

I am curious to hear anyone's thoughts on the immune system.and Celiac Disease. My 12 year old son was diagnosed a year ago. He was always catching colds etc. pre diagnosis.

At the time his bloodwork was done, his ALP ( which is a liver enzyme) was 489...( Normal level rangers from 150-409). the dr said it could be low vitamin D.
