I appreciate studies, but I have to go with our experience. Initially my son was off gluten 4 months (after tummy aches), then on gluten 5 months, then back off gluten (after behavorial issues). He became my sweet little boy again ... for a while. Then it occurred to me that I hadn't taken him off oats this time around. So I did, and my sweet little boy came back again.
That's good enough for me!
This time around he's been off gluten for 10 months and I believe he's accepted that we don't eat the stuff!
ETA: Of course, after his system is healed, who's to say he won't be able to eat oats? I think I'll wait until he's an adult and let HIM do the test! Thank goodness for quinoa flakes! They are a great substitute for rolled oats in baking! And Kim, thanks to you, I am now using cooked brown rice in baking too!
