Just a question, been on the diet a couple of months and my sons BM’sare just awful now — hasn’t had a solid one since we started… and heseems to be losing weight which doesn’t seem normal for a 4 yr old. AmI doing something wrong?

This sounds like he is still not tolerating something he is eating,either food or supplement. Soy, corn, and phenols are common problems

Have you replaced dairy with soy? This is one of the most commonreasons I have encountered with those that seem to be doing worse whenstarting the diet. If so, he may be more reactive to soy than casein.
I went GF over the summer while nursing my baby and he got cranky,gassy, would wake up in the night and his stools were foul smelling.Over time I came to figure out he is intolerant to rice which is whatI replaced gluten with. Now I am rice free and he is a happy camper(though I miss it).
