About a month ago, my 6 (almost 7) year old son had an endoscopy. I am happy to report that his biopsies were negative for Celiac Disease (aka gluten intolerance). Then, last week I had my primary care MD add the blood test for CD onto my labs. Yesterday I found out that those were negative as well! Have you been tested??
We will be discussing Celiac Disease in a future post... but here are a few websites to look at in the meantime:

Tip #5 Try Some of these constipating foods!
Increasing the consumption of the following foods can thicken stool and decrease diarrhea:
Fruits: bananas, applesauce
Breads and Starches: oatmeal, rice, pasta, potatoes, pretzels
Proteins: peanut butter, cheese (especially cheddar)
Miscellaneous: jello, boiled milk, cornmeal (used in foods such as corn chips or cornbread), tapioca, marshmallows, and Archway brand coconut macaroons!
Not all of these foods work for everyone (i.e. milk products aren't recommended for those who are lactose intolerant), but it may be worth a try!
